He wasn't recognized BECAUSE he was a ballyhooed player in Arizona though. I don't know if he would have been recognized or not for that reason with a similar performance in his junior year. It was too late for recruiting to take it's natural course where the in state programs usually catch drift they have a prospect in their midst, through media attention and whatnot making the program aware of the player, and then a domino effect occurs throughout the area or even country. Also, we aren't exactly prominent in the southwest recruiting wise, in either major sport.
