Florida's gigantic population is misleading due to the fact that most residents are geriatric patients. These are the numbers that matter most when looking at recruiting & per capita for D1 & NFL players by state.



- Ranked below by state population of black kids, 18 & under:


1). Texas - 950,000
2). Georgia - 800,000
3). Florida - 650,000
4). Louisiana - 350,000
5). Alabama - 325,000
6). SCar - 280,000
7). Miss - 278,000
8). Tenn - 255,000
9). Mizzou - 168,000
10). Kentucky - 120,000
11). Arkansas - 115,000



(for reference)
New York - 790,000
California - 602,000
Ohio - 360,000



How LSU & UGA aren't winning the NC every year (with no instate competition) is beyond me.

States ranked by NFL players per capita:

1). Florida (1 in every 3,494 residents)
2). Texas (1 in 5,163)
3). Scar (1 in 5,185)
4). Louisiana (1 in 5,645)
5). Alabama (1 in 6,750)
6). Mizzou (1 in 7,000)
7). Kentucky (1 in 7,059)
8). Arkansas (1 in 7,188)
9). Tennessee (1 in 7,286)
10). Georgia (1 in 8,421)
11). Mississippi (1 in 8,688)

Interesante. So all the times Mississippi tried to claim being #1 in the country per capita, they are actually dead last in tSEC.


California (1 in 2,676) Damn!!
Ohio (1 in 4,865)
New York (1 in 28,214)


This is from the 2012 signing class (D1 signees). Florida leading the way with 1 in every 119 high school players signing a D1 football scholarship

We must see Midwestern and northeastern numbers in order to give this any relative meaning.

In other words ... how do those numbers compare to other states in other regions?

Smaller than I would have guessed, given Texas' size.

"in-state competition" is the most outdated concept in college football recruiting. Imaginary lines don't make a difference to 18 year olds

What the frick?

Contrary to popular belief, all young black men aren't athletes or locked up in the south. A lot of them go on to do other things besides sports and if they do play, they may decide to do it out of state.
