I can tell you for a fact Winthrop has spoken with girls in SC. I also know the men's team has done the same and has to SC boys on the roster now. You must consider, does a kid that grew up near the college want to stay local or get away to school. Very few want to stay, most want the total college experience of going away to school. Also someone mentioned NC players. There are so many schools in the state of NC at all the various levels and once you cross the boarder the cost for a player goes way up. So in turn it would cost a coach more scholarship dollars to compete for NC players with NC schools.
