Why does Arizona Football struggle recruiting local talent?

The addition of Kevin Sumlin was supposed to solve many of the Arizona Football recruiting woes, right? Well, in theory that was certainly the belief, but so far in the 2020 class, that hasn’t quite happened.

Historically, Arizona and more specifically Tucson, hasn’t been the hot bed region for football talent. Sure, there have been a few big names like; Ka’Deem Carey, Brooks Reed, Levi Wallace (walked on at Alabama), Blake Martinez (went to Stanford), etc., but generally speaking the talent is not as frequent.

However, the class of 2020 is a unique one.
