This is a continuation of top prospects from U.S. metropolitan areas in the western and central states(not counting New England or northern states.) that up until a few years ago didn't produce them. A relativly new phenomenum that is benefiting D.U. more than other schools.
DU's recruiting strategy was on full display this weekend against the Gophers. Blue Chip players from Alaska, Oklahoma, Denver, California, Chicago and Calgary were on display.
