State's recent success, specifically against USC in prime time, has resulted
in more games on national television which exposes the Beavers to more
recruits around the country.
Athletes
that normally don't know about Oregon State football now do and are interested
in what playing in Corvallis has to offer.
With that
said the coaches still don't expend too many resources to scout outside
of the West Coast as they rely on tips from colleagues and tape from recruits.
A tip from
a colleague got the coaches out to Texas where they scooped up James and
Jacquizz Rodgers and they have pushed into Oklahoma, which borders Texas
to the north, for several recruits in 2009.
The coaches
have also started to recruit in Canada in British Columbia.
Non West
Coasters have made a big impact in the program over the years and the
staff does a great job of picking out the players that some of the larger
programs miss.
