Having a discussion with colleague. He thinks 70% of rosters are from in-state kids. I'd say its more like 85%.
What say you?

For the basement teams the percentage will be higher, since they have a hard time recruiting out of state.

I'd agree with your friend
ETA: You mean including non-scholarship? Walk-ons, etc

Depends on the school. Texas A&M would be above 90%, Tennessee might only be like 25%

Idk...you could look that info up fairly easily if you had some spare time.
I would imagine the more talent rich states like UF and UGA will have quite a bit, but 85% seems a bit high. 85 out of 100 kids from in state? That doesnt' seem right. Obviously almost all the walkons and scout teamers will be in state, but still.

If you are talking scholarship players, your friend is probably closer (and even he would be too high for some schools). If you are including the walk-ons (who are probably more predominantly in state) then it could be over 70%, but don't really know. I think using the scholarship numbers (the guys who actually play) is a better question, and I would think that number would be closer to 70% or less for most schools.

Traditionally Alabama is near 70 percent. Right now it may not be 50 percent.

I counted 118 players on our roster page, and 82 of them are from FL. Roughly 70%.

I saw an article about this a few months back. A&M and UGA were the highest, iirc

Auburn:
(45/116) ~39% from Alabama
(26/116) ~22% from Georgia
ETA: fixed the numbers

Lots of these teams recruit neighboring states too. It's a slightly different dynamic for LSU to recruit Texas or Auburn to recruit Georgia than it is for an SEC team to recruit California or New York. Distance is often a factor that diminishes when recruiting in your neighbors. Hell, Atlanta is closer to Auburn than Tuscaloosa is.
