Not saying it's easier to recruit to TCU but they have a richer talent bed to mine in Texas. I've never been to Fort Worth but I'd imagine that it would seem more advantageous to a 17 year old recruit to want to spend 4-5 years at than Blacksburg. I think a more apt comparison to recruiting to Blacksburg is actually Athens, GA. Combine the whole New River Valley (Radford, Christiansburg, etc.) and you get a similar sized population. It's a town that's really centered around UGA. Very similar culture in both areas to be honest. Except Blacksburg doesn't have a vibrant City like Atlanta nearby.
