[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 243886, member: 1776"] This is an excellent article and the blog that has the data is even better. identifies where over 1,400 FBS players hometowns are from. A few interesting notes. GT has one of the lowest travel distances for recruits 199.96 mile avg - which is the 11th lowest of the 128 FBS teams. So you can basically say that GT is recruiting almost exclusively in its backyard. (Hawaii had the longest distance and Stanford was 2nd longest.) The SEC has the lowest avg distance of travel from hometown (337 miles). ACC was second lowest, PAC-12 had the highest avg travel distance 837 miles. GA is 4th nationally in producing FBS players at 7.6% of all FBS players, behind only Texas, CA, and FL. SEC has moved heavily into SE TX since bringing in A&M.
