id argue that the Mid-Atlantic is the most challenging area to recruit due to not only the quantitative data above but also the SEC and BigTen presence in the area; there is a reason why no single program has been able to lock down the elite prospects in the area.

Yes and no. The competition at the top is as fierce as anywhere, because the national programs are going after the best players wherever they are.

I think what makes it tougher for the MA/NE schools is the lack of depth of prospects. And that adds recruiting competition all over the spectrum of talent in the South, Cali, and Texas.
