Rich Rodriguez leads the in-state recruiting battle

Over the last few years, surprisingly, Arizona has been winning the in-state recruiting battle. Arizona isn't known as a hotspot for some of the top players across the nation, but there is hidden talent spread throughout the state. To be fair, neither Arizona or Arizona State do a great job at keeping the top talent within the state, but as of now, Arizona has a slight edge.

Since Rich Rodriguez has come to town, Arizona has brought in a combined 19 of the top 50 Arizona products over last four classes. Meanwhile, Todd Graham has brought in 11 of the top 50 Arizona products in that same span.
