We should follow the Wisconsin model of recruiting. Wrap up your state border as best as you possibly can, build a massive offensive line with all of the big strong guys in your state, and recruit the necessary speed from southern states. You can certainly build around some of the skill talent in the state, but there isn't enough to field a competitive team.
This is very similar to the model that Nebraska has been using for decades as well, building up their lines with all those beefy Nebraska farm boys, then grabbing the best skill position players from the Omaha and Lincoln areas, and then just recruiting tons of Southerners and Californians/West Coasters to fill the speed positions. Obviously, that is a model that's worked very well for them.
