I think a lot of people always ignore this fact. Compare our two 500 mile radii. Penn st includes All of PA (obviously), NY, VA, MA, MD, WV, OH, NC, MI and most of IN, SC, KY and part of Tenn. If you compare all those states talent produced it will outscore the states in Nebraska's 500 mile radius. Guess where Trace mcsorley and Barkley are from. Within that radius. They have about 10 kids outside their 500 miles, 4 are from GA, 2 from FL, 1 from Wisconsin, 1 from IL and 1 from Nevada. Beside Nevada and maybe Wisconsin those states produce more talent as well.
