Definitely agree with you
If you're giving me a choice between an OH kid, or a PA kid, or even a NJ kid vs. a Chicago-area kid, I'm taking the others 9 times out of 10.
But it does seem like the Chicago area is churning out a larger number of high-end talent dudes lately, and ND should get some of these, particularly if they play the positions that we typically struggle to get (ie, DE, DT).
