Interesting read from SI.com on the trends in college football recruiting. This is not new information or earth shattering news, but teams that come from areas that produce large numbers of prospects tend to fare better (with some exceptions) than those that don't.
Of the 22 schools that won 40 or more games during that span, 16 attracted more than half their players from within 200 miles or from within their state. Of the 44 schools that won fewer than 40 games, only 13 met the homegrown recruiting criteria.
A large part of Clemson's recruits hail from Georgia (within the 200 mile marker) and Florida (outside the 200 mile marker). It's another piece of the puzzle (along with budget) into why certain teams have moved far and away ahead of the pack in college football.
