Is anyone else overly concerned with the upstart University of Kentucky Wildcats and their coaches with Ohio ties?

I live in Kentucky and despite their rather horrid football history, recent and past, I hear it constantly about how we're (OSU) allowing UK to invade our recruiting territory.  Stoops and assistant coach Vince Marrow are both Youngstown natives who went to Cardinal Mooney.  With these ties and general recruiting ability, they are showing immense success in getting Ohio recruits.  

What's your take on this, should our staff do more to specifically deter them and beat them out for recruits to establish our territory, or should the staff continue to get Ohio's best, and forget about the rest while establishing national presence?  Obviously the latter is the better overall choice to compete nationally, but should more be done to stop the inroads to Ohio's fertile recruiting grounds from growing even further for our football novice neighbors to the south?
