and Georgia not far behind California.You'd think CA would be producing more than 220+ with their population and LA urban areas.The state use to supply the vast majority of the Pac 12
Suprised TN is not producing more

Tennessee has improved but it has always been low on talent for a state its size.

There's been an improvement because of the population surge, and I think it'll continue to improve, but it'll never produce like Georgia or Florida.

I'm counting on you to update this daily.

You'd think the growth of Nashville and the urban areas of Memphis that it would be closer to the 60+ number.
Don't think anyone expects GA or Florida numbers.

This is why I laugh when people try to claim LA or OH are as good a Hs football states as GA. They always tout "per capita! Per capita!" Which is irrelevant when ga has 100 more signees per year.

Quality over quantity

These numbers don't seem right. When we're talking about FBS, we're talking about 128 schools with 85 scholarships, and most of these schools signing 20+ kids. Al together there should be about 2500+ FBS signees.
Their numbers add up to 2369 students. That might make sense if a lot more schools than I thought signed under 20 students, but I know a lot of schools that sign closer to 25+ students. So I thought that would've balanced out.

And actually per participant is a much better measuring stick and Florida and Georgia are 1 and 2 in that category.
Per capita is almost completely
irrelevant.

So hypothetically a state with only 20 signees but they're all 4 stars is better than a state with 200 signees with a mix of 1-5 stars?
If you say so.

There is a reason the PAC 12 makes way less money than the SEC.
The left coast barely cares about football.

2,371 student-athletes were awarded FBS scholarships. Florida led the way with 336 student-athletes from Sunshine State schools being given scholarships. Texas was right behind with 330 players, followed by California with 224 players, Georgia with 210 and Ohio with 121.
It adds up if you include the rest of the states

I did, I came up with a number close to what your wrote. I just didn't know/think that many teams signed under 20 players every year. I thought there were more teams that would've signed closer to 25+ than under 20, so the total number of FBS signeess should've been higher. (and that was just assuming that the national avg would be to sign 20 players per class, I thought that was even a little low.)

Didn't include service academies or JC signees
Close to about 200 on that number alone if not more
