Always tough to really take a lot away from these things...but a few comments...

Not much offense on either side...should be noted that Koors, Ellis, Evans, Branigan didn't play for the Tigers because of tweaks...backup qb ethan schweir seemed to move the team pretty well...defense played ok...but will really need to step up this year IMHO...and i think they will...leaders need to emerge on both sides of the ball...not a very thorough recap...but some initial thoughts...good luck to coach leonard and the grizzlies...

DePauw's 2010 roster is posted...I think I count 127 players from 20 states. About half from Indiana, 20 from Illinois, 8 from Missouri, 5 each from California and Texas. In Indiana, 22 players from Indianapolis...7 from Columbus.

Is the season here yet???  ;)

Not to beat a dead horse here, but I think that's a pretty signifcant point in regards to what the North Coast can do for DePauw football.  Ohio is a really good football state.  There's a lot of D3 programs in that state that are very successful with kids from that state.  DePauw has exactly ZERO players from the state of Ohio on its roster. 

I'm not trying to say that being able to recruit Ohio is the cure for what ails you, but Witt, CWRU, and Capital are sure doing something right.  I'd put Mount in that list, but a signifcant portion of their talent isn't from Ohio.

Wes,

Just a comment... Wabash has only 2 Ohio players on our roster.  We've done pretty well in the NCAC.   ;D

I would tend to agree with you, Wes. But it's interesting to note that our friends in Crawfordsville have a whopping 2 players from Ohio on this year's roster, according to a post on the NCAC Board...

A fair point, but that's just this year, too.  Wabash historically recruits Ohio fairly well, if my memory serves.  I kinda wish I could get to some of the recent Wabash rosters to prove my point, but I'm kinda working off the top of my head from the past 4 or 5 years.

Again, for clarity, I'm not saying that recruiting Ohio makes you good while not recruiting Ohio makes you bad.  I just think there's a lot of good high school talent in that state that will learn more about DePauw than they have ever before.  That, I think, is an inherently good thing.

Big question is will you keep getting Texans after you leave the SCAC.    ;)

Understood. Obvisouly picking off a few talented players from Ohio would be great...but important to build on successes in places like Illinois, in particular Chicago-area.

We'll see...have gotten some good players from Texas...and Oklahoma.

Ohio is a pretty tough nut to crack because it is so saturated with small colleges...and coaches of those programs know that they have to recruit their backyards well to have a chance.  Wabash has had a handful of players from Ohio, but I don't think it would be accurate to say that Wabash is getting into Ohio and taking their pick of prospective student-athletes.  Wabash has recruited a couple of players from Wittenberg's turf over the last few years, which is pretty sweet, but it isn't something that happens all that often.  Certainly it helps to get exposure out there...I've talked to Buckeye State kids and parents who were looking at Wabash during games at Wittenberg, so Wabash is definitely working the area.  DPU will get similar exposure out there soon enough.

I'm telling you.  From where I sit here in South Florida.  This area is still largely untapped because of the lack of D3 in the deep South.  Keeping up with the High School football scene down here, there is plenty of D2 and D3 level talent that hangs up the cleats after high school.

Nice to see a couple of freshman from Florida on Wabash's roster this year.    In D1 - FAU Owls with Schnellenberger were a great example of how much talent was laying on the ground for a smaller program.

Why should you go for it on 4th down?
