Sorry.but I do not understand your line of thinking.The #1 team in the country(now Arizona State)is and or was holding that position because of out of state players or are you arguing your own point with yourself by using VMI and the good recruiting they have done recently (in state) to prove yourself wrong?Certainly the "other end of the spectrum"team has had a quality program for some time and has a substantiated past of placing Coaches and players in the Majors,as with many programs the wins and losses can be a roller-coaster ride. 
or are you trying to pass yourself off as a wise old-timer with a good grasp of how things are done or should be done to become #1 
Whatever the case good-luck to all the Virginia schools and programs.Especially,those with more than 50% in state players
