[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 243968, member: 195"] As most know, I'm a big fan of statistics ... when rightly used. However, I think that some people don't really understand or pay attention to where statistics can be misleading. For example, Georgia produces a lot of D1 athletes. If they go to Tech, then distance from hometown is smaller than if they go to Duke or BC. Or to put it differently, the distance-from-hometown statistic as an indicator of the scope of a recruiting footprint becomes more meaningful the more homogeneous the population demographics are. In reality, population is not geographically homogeneous. Wyoming will have to go farther for recruits than GT simply from population demographics, and so will Duke. [/QUOTE]
