It's a lot harder to import foreign talent post 9-11.

Just think of all the players USF would have potentially lost out on...Dobras, etc.

Since the Sept. 11 attacks, the ability of elite high school programs such as Montrose Christian to recruit -- and land -- top international players has grown far more difficult. Schools have had to reconcile the desire to recruit top overseas talents with tighter immigration scrutiny from the State Department and Department of Homeland Security, and a much more thorough visa process.
