To me it looks like Alabama and tOSU recruit within a decent area, FSU barely gets out of Florida and Oregon is just looking to rack up frequent flier miles!!!

Interesting; appreciate this

Pretty impressive for Oregon to travel that much. But you have to imagine the best athletes are further away from Oregon. They have to recruit away from their area to compete with the bigger schools.

Except for a few locals in Oregon, their talent is coming from California or a LONG plane trip away. Has to be hard on the parents of those long distance players trying to make their son's games.

Thanks, that is pretty interesting. Alabama is a national brand so the fact we recruit more nationally if not surprising. I wonder what the boogs footprint would look like. I would guess theirs would be similar to FSU's along with alot coming from Georgia and Florida with a few sprinkled in from Alabama.

On the FSU footprint, it seems to be much smaller than ours. They get most of their players from Florida and then a few from the southeast in general. A strong UF recruiting presence will dilute their recruiting classes. I suspect with McIllwain there at UF, the recruiting landscape in Florida is about to change.

Florida has had some solid classes under muschamp, if I remember correctly. There is a ton of talent there, so I imagine FSU will continue to get more than their share, especially since guys know Jimbo will let them get away with anything. Of course, I think the outlaw, thug mentality will eventually catch up to them.

Hawaii is a bit off the map for Oregon but wow....long reach.

Oregon's map shows their revenue suddenly doubling in 2012, I wonder how that happened.

I may have to create a map for the Boogs. Im intrigued now

Which player were we recruiting in Mexico?


I found him, Adrian Lamothe.

I'm not too surprised by tOSU and the reach into Florida. Even before Urban they were recruiting there, but now that he's coaching tOSU they are there nearly as much it seems as the in-state schools.
