2010 vs 2011 vs 2012 Recruiting Map
I thought it would be interesting to map out the past 3 years in recruiting from a geographical point of view to view some different trends. I'll leave the analysis up to you guys, but its pretty interesting.

Thanks for this. This is more of what I was interested in seeing when I saw your other post. It will be very interesting to see how the 2012 develops as the recruiting process proceeds.

Maybe I'm just in need of sleep but does anyone else think RR-era Florida should maybe considering using a condom...?

Who did we sign from North Carolina this year and isn't Posada the only Florida guy we got? Or am I misinterpreting the green dots?
Anyway, 'There Will Be Blood' references should get +1 everytime.

....based on the data I got
Prince Holloway |
Tony Posada |
James Wilder Jr. |
are listed as being from Florida, and I have a DJ Humphries being listed from NC. If these are wrong please let me know I am not that familiar with this data, and I automated some of the processes so far. Basically I am QA/QC'ing as I go.

Are the green dots supposed to denote guys who committed to us (that's what I assumed at least)? Posada did but the other three ended up at different schools.

....thats what it means. I am getting my data from Touch The Banner site. I'll have to go back and se where the mistake was made....thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for linking my site, Rescue_Dawn.
Holloway didn't sign anywhere. Posada signed with Michigan. Wilder signed with Florida State.
Humphries is a Class of 2012 kid, and he is from North Carolina. But he hasn't committed anywhere.
These are interesting maps. Thanks for creating them.

....and I realize I probably should have referenced your site in the original post….poor etiquette on my part. Sorry about that.
February 16th, 2011 at 11:14 AM ^
I think you linked it yesterday or the day before, so no worries.
February 16th, 2011 at 12:43 AM ^
These are really great man. Very helpful and unique. MGoBlog is a better place for it, +1 as much as possible.
February 16th, 2011 at 1:19 AM ^
Thanks for putting this together. Really interesting to see.

Thanks for doing this. I think it makes it easier to see where we are recruiting and where in the country most of our recruits are coming from.
February 16th, 2011 at 9:25 AM ^
who did we get from wisconsin in 2010????
February 16th, 2011 at 9:45 AM ^
From Whitefish Bay, WI

This year is projected to be huge for the midwest in general and OH in particular, so I would expect to see more midwest offers this year. That doesn't, though, mean that it isn't important to continue to recruit the south, mainly FL, GA, and TX. If Hoke and staff could turn some of their CA connections into a few CA recruits, it would be extremely helpful, too.
Now that the January fiasco is over, I just want the rest of the transition to be as smooth and painless as possible.
