FIELD OF BATTLES To shed some light on which states and college programs really dominate recruiting, The Mag and ESPN.com’s RecruitingNation combed through data from the past five years (2007-11) of ESPNU 150 rankings (750 total prospects). We learned that Florida can officially lay claim to the title of America’s football hotbed. And we also learned that February signees don’t guarantee January trophies. Take a look:
STAR POWERSSchools that attracted the most ESPNU 150 recruits.
REEL ’EM INTop schools by average miles recruits traveled to attend.
TALENT POOLSStates that produced the most ESPNU 150 recruits.
SHIP ’EM OUTTop states by average miles from home recruits traveled.
