Couple notes on this. California is fourth??? their population is by far the most somehow they end up behind Florida, Georgia and Texas.
A little disappointing from Texas coming behind Georgia their 2012 and 2013 recruiting class from that state is the worst in recent memory.
Louisiana only had 6 kids drafted???
Oklahoma only had 1 kid drafted.
Florida right now is producing the best HS talent bar none.
Florida- 39
Georgia - 30
Texas - 27
California -26
Alabama -14
Ohio- 10
North Carolina - 9
Pennsylvania - 9
MAryland - 8
Illinois- 6
Michigan - 6
Louisiana - 6
Missisipi -6
NEw Jersey - 6
Kansas - 5
Arizona - 5
Iowa - 4
Missouri - 4
South Carolina - 4
Tennessee - 4
Washington - 4
Hawaii - 2
Kentucky - 2
Oreogon -2
Wisconsin - 2
Arkansas - 1
Colorado - 1
Conneticut -1
Rest of the states 1
D.C
Delaware
Indiana
Minesota
Nebraska
Nevada
New York
Oklahoma
Utah.
States with most pick between first 3 rounds
Florida - 16 (7 first rounders!)
Texas and Georgia (9)
California - 8
With all that said Texas still leads with most pros ever with 2238(158 active) then Cali with 2191 (202 active) Ohio 1367(74 active) Pennsylvania 1362 (56 active) Florida (1237) (158 active). Texas leads with 31 HOF'ers Ohio is next with 21, then Penn with 20, Cali with 16, and I'm suprised Florida only has 11.

Very odd considering how much we talk about how talent rich that state is.
I wonder if that's an anomaly.

Further proof that Georgia and Mark Richt are perennial underachievers.

Why does this surprise you?
Oklahoma isn't much different than Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, and several other states in that the majority of the college talent comes from one area (Tulsa for Oklahoma, NWA for Arkansas, St. Louis for Missouri) with the other larger population centers sporadically producing college level talent (OKC, LR, KC) that is on par with the less populated areas of the states in production.

Even with the poor high school football culture, that is still amazing that a state this big can't produce a single player with the ability to play NFL football.

This list is impossible, LSU fans always tell us Louisiana is just as talent rich as fla/ga/tex

nevermind the fact that bama, auburn, ut, clemson, sc, gt, fsu, and uf are all within a 6 hour or less drive from athens.

I'm guessing AL has the best population to draft pick ratio of any state?
ETA: That title goes to GA. It seems AL would probably be 2nd, but I'm not running the numbers.

Even with Californias population, football is third in the state behind baseball and basketball

Don't blame other universities for the impotence that is The University of Georgia football program. Georgia Tech has won a national championship more recently than UGA and they only recruit nerds to their school.

Are you trying to say UGA doesn't underachieve becasue they are a tier 2 program?
I'll buy that argument, if so.

Tejas doesn't have this problem with Soccer and Bull Fighting ranking above football with the majority of their residents.

I'm not blaming others. We haven't won it all only because of ourselves.
But the assumption that we underachieve simply because the state of georgia has a high number of draft picks is simply ignorant, for the reason I mentioned. Sure GA is super talented with HS prospects, but there's also a frick ton of MAJOR college programs surrounding our borders that have easy access to that talent. You can only sign 25ish kids a year...one school can't get them all. The rest have to go somewhere.

Your argument is valid. But I can make the same argument for Florida, Florida State and Miami. Three major programs in the same freaking state fighting it out for recruits year in and year out. At the same time, they have to compete with schools like Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, Clemson, Texas, LSU, and a host of other schools for recruits.
And yet, since 1990, the three schools have 8 national championships between them.

I don't think this is a good way to really measure the talent. No matter what Texas is going to be way up and Florida will always have the best HS talent.

Plenty of basketball talent also comes out of Georgia while UGA rarely gets any of it.
Tier2 problems.

dummy I already said I'm not blaming other for us not winnign a title. We have only ourselves to blame. I'm talking ONLY about the original point you made that we are underachievers based on how many people from GA get drafted.
