Who has the map of the amount of respectable African American youth in the south?


Want to take a look at Tennessee on that map.

About 17% of Tennessee is AA, so that's about 1 million people. Memphis and Nashville certainly seemed to have some "urban" areas when I have been there previously. I don't see how those "urban" areas are much rougher than some places in other SEC states but maybe I am missing something.

I could certainly understand how Tennessee may not be AS strong as some other states in terms of talent but it seems like it just drops off the table. Do people not like HS football there or something?

This.

TN and KY don't have a claim to the "black belt" or "blue belt" with the notable exception of Memphis.
