re: Georgia is the best job in the SEC but can be a nightmare

One thing I tend to look at more than recruiting services and stars is who actually becomes NFL players after college is said and done.

There have been a bunch of those over the years, and every year or two some writer beats the horse again.

They fluctuate, but more often than not Louisiana and Mississippi tend to be at the top of per capita NFL players produced.

I've seen some where SC is ahead of Georgia, and vice versa. Offhand I'd say the two states are pretty comparable for that specific measure (NFL players produced per capita).

And just from memory, I think Alabama generally does better than the rest of the Southern states, though you could see one with them ranked fourth or seventh or something.

Anyway all the Southern states do pretty well in that respect, though Louisiana and Mississippi are outliers.

And with the population, of course Georgia is going to produce more players than Mississippi and even Louisiana when you see how many kids from a state sign to play every year.

But interestingly states like Florida and Texas don't usually do as well on a per capita basis compared to some smaller states that are less heralded.

Part of it is if you are a super athlete from Slap Out, Alabama you just do not get people paying attention to you compared to a guy who may not be as good, but plays at St. Thomas Aquineas in Fort Lauderdale.

Of course I am 100% wrong! I just got confused and let the talent scouts who do that stuff for a living muddle my brain.

Dude. I just gave you a link giving you the statistics on exactly how many of those players are in each state. Those ratings were given by the scouts. So, yes. You were 100% wrong. Show me a link where all the "talent scouts" say Georgia has more than any other state in the nation.

Remember we are talking "elite" players.

You didn't even look at the link I provided, did you?
The title of the article is :All 50 states, ranked by their percentage of the country's elite college football recruits

In-state Georgia competes against air mostly although Tech is a significant presence.

Because Auburn, Alabama, Clemson, Florida, FSU, USC, Tennessee do not recruit in Georgia do they?

Come on dude. Give it up. You have been proven wrong on just about every single point you've made. You have given your opinion and when I showed you actual stats you want to pretend you didn't see it? (I guess that is what you are pretending)
