This is what I was asking. I wasn’t trolling, I just wondered why these kids from these states seemed more capable of of doing well on this level.

My theory is that kids growing up in areas with more built-out media coverage of HS football (Texas, the Midwest, even Atlanta) are more likely to get a lot of coverage, leading to a higher ranking. This, in turn, leads to more of them being “overrated,” through no real fault of their own.

Anecdotally, a 4* from South GA has seemed to me to be less likely to bust than a 4* from Atlanta.
