Kentucky will never consistently beat Urban Meyer for recruits, but UK does have the advantage right now of offering immediate playing time and being the closest SEC school to any Midwest recruit.

I know Bama has had a couple of good years in state for talent. Is that a norm for them or is there usually less in state talent there?
I think OSU is going to be very regional, and then pick up skill position guys from across the country. They will also likely get half the best Ohio players, with Michigan picking up 30-40% and everyone else getting 10-20% in most years

Depends on how UK winds up long term. Stoops is the great unknown but lets say he puts together a string of 8+ win seasons at UK coupled with the SEC brand and he could easily flip some OH kids seeing the SEC on TV all the time. Urban recruiting Ohio will not be as prolific as recruiting Florida. It has been a decade since the Buckeyes won a MNC so how many recruits coming of age have B1G MNC memories?
Oddly I can see a change in recruiting dynamics in the state of OH. For years the Buckeyes had the monopoly with only Michigan to make serious raids. Louisville gets the ACC into OH and Kentucky gets the SEC into OH and now you no longer have the monopoly. It will be interesting to see what happens next.
