[Biggus Piggus]

Hey, we're in the top 28!!!!!!!!!!

Note that below us are Wisconsin, Iowa, Oregon and Nebraska.  They must be doomed to never have any talent just like the Hogs, huh Dienhart??

[elksnort]

The Illini sure is not getting any bang for their buck are they? Interesting, 20 players on Rutgers are from Florida and it seems most of Tennesse are from out of state.

cool we beat out the district of columbia  AND   vermont
wooo    whooo

[Junkyard Hog]

Hey, we're in the top 28!!!!!!!!!!

Note that below us are Wisconsin, Iowa, Oregon and Nebraska.  They must be doomed to never have any talent just like the Hogs, huh Dienhart??

In Arkansas we also have basically one division 1 team.  Iowa must battle Iowa State and Oregon has to battle Oregon State for recruits.

[HogISH™]

good info JJ... how about putting the states population next to each one.. that might really open some eyes.

How  about we get a list of BCS conference signees per state? 

[proffitthog]

What about New York producing only 35 per year with their population thats the most surprising to me.

[311Hog]

HogISH

While you are at it factor in per capita income, and how many major metropolitan areas reside in that state.

Funny how many D1's flow from states such as Mississippi and Alabama considering how poor they are we are flanked on all sides with states packed full of talent.

basketball is king in NY.

We dont play those guys though.  Look at the SEC schools.

Was this one year or an average of several years?

And?  The other SEC schools don't have a inherent pipeline out of Texas (except LSU), and we do.  Excuses are like arseholes...everybody has one, and all of them stink.

[311Hog]

I can answer that question


Its because almost all of Hawaii's roster are kids from the state.

We don't have a pipeline out of Texas either, it died with the SWC.  Is it any coincidence that the states in the top 10 signee production have won the last several NC's?

[Conway Cool Daddy]

Samoans man, Samoans........
Same at Utah.

Look at Penn with only 69. That is a little surprising considering how big HS football is there.

I didn't say we have one, I said we have an inherent pipeline.  I agree that we would recruit Texas better if we were still connected to them, but there is no reason we can't do alot better than we do.

And you know this from what? 

Consistent quality over time.  Which of those school is not a perennial top 15 program over the last decade?  WVU?  That's ok, because they are a consistent top 10 team now.

[Calling All Hogs]

Agreed. It doesn't take a lot to be a "D-1 signee". That is not the same as a 4 or 5 star recruit.

Nebraska was consistently top 15 or better in the early part of the last 10 years.  Iowa has been during the latter part.  I already noted WVU, and where they are today.

HogISH

Not only is basketball king, but where would you put a high school football stadium???  I've been to NYC a few times and I cannot fathom where a stadium would be, especially around Manhattan.

[jamie72921]

New York can't have football because of crime and drop out rates.

How many D-I schools are there in Hawaii besides the UH?

None far as i know, also im sure a few hit the California coast schools like San Jose State, SDSU, etc

[werehog]

Conway Cool Daddy has nailed it about Hawaii. Hell, 20% of the USC traveling squad is Samoan (some of them from American Samoa. Middle linebacker at USC almost always is filled by a Samoan.

[enwhog]

interesting Okla only with 26 yet 2 bcs conf schools and a CUSA program

[SpiceIslandHog]

Man look at the dropoff from Georgia to Penn. Recruits almost get cut in half. Also, it looks like per land area Florida has the best concentration of talent. Don't know how it would break down by population.

[spacehog]

How can HAWAII have more D-I prospects than ARK?

Well if Hawaii is D-1 and basically the whole team is made up of Hawaiins, then that could easily happen.

[JJHog]

Conference info

[1836andon]

What is this stat supposed to show me?  Just by glancing at it all it proves is that more populated states have more players sign with DI schools?

[HedgeDweller]

20 per year for Arkansas sounds a little high to me, but since that would include ASU and any that drifted off to ULM etc., I guess maybe it's possible.

[hogsanity]

Conference info

So how many of the Ar d1 signees went to a BCS conference?

[HedgeDweller]

What is this stat supposed to show me?  Just by glancing at it all it proves is that more populated states have more players sign with DI schools?

It wouldn't be hard to plug that into Excel along with the states population and come up with a per capita figure.  Or if you wanted to take the time to find out how many high school football teams each state has, you could come up with an interesting figure also.

[JJHog]

sorry--graph posted  only gave conference data for the top 17 states

I hope all the NUTT apologists see this stat....It is very telling... I guess it pretty much destroys the idea that we will never be able to compete with the big boys because of our InState recruitment is not like that of a Louisiana, or California.........Furthermore, I just thought of this..... These teams mentioned have played in a BCS bowl....      

[JJHog]

Conference info

So how many of the Ar d1 signees went to a BCS conference?

Of the top 17 states--as a general rule--a third to half of the D1 signees went to non- BCS conferences

Looks to me Nutt is Nuts for all the excuses he keeps dishing out!

[Big Daddy Hog Nuts]

Where does this info come from? 

[Big Daddy Hog Nuts]

Never mind, you just answered that while I was typing....sorry

[sage_dragoon]

I don't think PS1456 has a football team

[oldfart]

not a lot of inner city schools play football in new york. 

What about New York producing only 35 per year with their population thats the most surprising to me.

[oldfart]

yea that is pretty surprising. at one time Pennsylvania was considered a gold mine for football pllayers. 

How can HAWAII have more D-I prospects than ARK?

Samoans man, Samoans........
Same at Utah.

Look at Penn with only 69. That is a little surprising considering how big HS football is there.

[SonOfMud]

A side note.  Univ. of Tenn. only has 29 players from the state of Tenn on their entire roster.  If you looked at Louisville's roster, you'd see something very similiar.  As with the above mentioned teams.
