You're absolutely correct, but instead of saying "Charts They are your friend, maybe you could show how its done. Being Helpful is a good thing usually.

This is a crazy idea but I think a lot of people who are new to posting on the site could use some type of live one-hour webinar on how to create charts, do links, other features to enhance the quality of their posts. Sure I can see people saying go google it, but this could also be a way to help Mgoblog build its brand and fanbase, and help those who want to contribute to the site put out a better product, which in turns make the site more readable for everyone. .
The rough distribution of players has shift for Michigan over the years.
I did a diary about two years ago or so on the geogrpahic shift, and what I found is that going back to the 1960s, you had something like over half of the rosters typically being from Michigan and close to another thirty percent coming from Ohio and Illinois. The remaining 20% was a smattering of various states (Pennsylvania and Indiana figuring prominently in the "smattering").
By the 1980s and 1990s, you're still getting about 30% or so of your roster from Michigan most years, but as expected, Texas, Florida, California and a couple others are showing up significantly as well. The satellite camps were in places that were already hotbeds of talent a couple decades ago. To some extent, Michigan's roster mirrored the national talent shift going on at the time.
Only 3 from PA is insane.... I remember when that was a hot bed of talent for us and we would go in there and take some of the top players (Marlin, Henne, etc)... I think it all changed after Justin King

Yes, we have three players whom I think are great.... my point is that we use to take that per class, and they many of them the top player in the state...
I understand why Penn State wanted to come into the Big 10 but one of the worse results from that is that it really laid bare those recruiting territories of Pennsylvania to Michigan and Ohio State...sure, of course, some Pennsylvania players may go elsewhere from time to time (e.g. Joe Namath) but from a recruiting standpoint, I never thought that it was necessarily the best of moves for PSU (OTOH, I think that Penn State had gone Big East, the Big East would still be a viable sports conference)
Can you break it down into yoopers vs non-yoopers?
Sure: zero to the rest of them...
Just did a quick scan and there are 3 yoopers on the team!
Based on the performance the past few years this mix should end. We need a better mix of states.
Or it's all due to coaching.
