Too late..I'll start. The reason, is because some are delusional believing that our girls can hang. Yes some can, but those who can leave the state to play. We all agree that the Lasers are one of the best in the state. How do they typically do against the rest of the country? I'm NOT knocking on them before someone thinks I am for I highly respect that org.
So let's say Joe Smoe's dd is always beating them and is tearing up the state even worse. How is she going to get better? She isn't. So, to face better competition constantly, she has to leave the state. However, if the Lasers (which they are doing now) go out and do those large tourneys like Sparkler, ASA/USA, Rising Stars, etc. and Joe Smoe's dd is doing a great job handling them, then OSU would easily pick her up.
Remember unlike travel, college coaches need to win to keep their jobs. They hold no allegiances to the state they are in. So I can't blame the HC for going to CA for that.
The good news is, Ohio is starting to get there, but we are at least 2 yrs removed still IMHO
