I know there's a lot of thoughts about how much CVS did/did not recruit NJ, and how this needs to be a priority for Coquese Washington. Without a doubt, there were fewer NJ players on more recent teams (that being said, the two best players we've had recently--Arella and Diamond--were both from the tristate area). CVS also landed some great NJ players during her time--most notably Essence Carson and Matee Ajavon.
I looked at ESPN Hoopgurlz Top 100 for the past 5 years. http://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/rankings/_/class/2022
In that time, there have been 19 players from NJ in the top 100.
Of those 19 players:
Olivia Miles (ND)
Diamond Miller (MD)
Leilani Correa (WV, St Johns, now FL)
I'm fairly certain RU recruited Correa and Miller, not sure about Miles.
