[QUOTE="RocketJacket, post: 136902, member: 436"] Sure thing! I can get an updated rankings based on population. It's definitely a interesting stat, but the reason I didn't look into this initially is because I wanted to look into where the big pools of talent were. Talent per capita doesn't necessarily give me a good idea of where those pools are. A state could have a population of 5 and have 2 top 250 recruits, but you still wouldn't be able to build a team recruiting that state. I think a better way of looking at it would be to normalize the number of top recruits by square mileage, and thus giving an idea of where the concentrations of top recruits are greatest. Washington, DC would do very well in this type of ranking, but wouldn't necessarily do as well in a population corrected rating. I didn't think of this, but that would be cool if I can find the numbers. It's probably pretty closely tied to population, but HS football is bigger in some states than others, so there may be more teams in some states. Could give a good idea of which states have the best HS competition. [/QUOTE]
