A little surprised Florida was ahead of Cali. I would loved to see a little of states with the best 40 time average

I'm surprised to see Illinois at #10 and that Oregon only has 11 total.

Love seeing these breakdowns. Thanks for posting!

I find North Carolina and New Jersey surprisingly high. And like MinnsicowaSker said Oregon is way lower than I would have guessed. Notice how the entire B1G region is no where near the top???

I chuckled a bit when I saw Alaska put out more D1 talent than 8 other states.

I always find it amazing that New York state, the 3rd most populous state, ranks down around 20th in number of commits. I guess they don't play football in NYC.

Me too. An emphasis thing, I guess. That explains the disproportionately high D1 players (relative to state population) for the states in the south --- sure Georgia is fairly populated but to be generating so many recruits... same for NC, SC, and Mississippi... Alabama too. The south owns football it would seem.

The mountain west? Not so much so.

i think "demographics" have a lot more to do with the number of studs coming out of the south compared to other areas. (or to put it less delicately, there are more black people in the south than in other areas, and african americans tend to have more fast twitch muscle on average.) it is odd though how the big metro areas of the northeast tend to not produce as much football talent as you would expect. i've always guessed this was due to the popularity of basketball in urban areas.

About the same as us. 4/9 stayed in Nebraska = 44.4%. (Note: MaxPreps revised their numbers slightly since your first post. Nebr now has 9 D1 recruits.)

Sometimes I wish that I would have played HS football in Nebraska instead of Georgia. I bet it would have been easy.

Here's a pretty good article from scout.com on this same topic. It has stats for D1 signees cut three different ways. D1 by state. BCS by state. And D1 normalized for population.
