Excuse my ignorance but why is there so little football talent in Tennessee?

There are over 6 million people in the state. It has multiple urban/metro areas of good size. Tennessee has a 100k stadium that people have always supported college football at. There is a decent sized AA population in the state, though maybe not as dense as some other SEC states. Why doesn't it produce good football players or at such a lesser rate than Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia?

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.

probably part of the natural ups and downs out of regions if there actually IS a talent drop. i doubt there it, because i'd wager most of the good talent is being recruited away from UT. not to mention, the good talent Tennessee has is likely not being coached up and developed.

Have you ever seen the children produced from inbreeding?

I think I would be banned if I changed it.
It's like a second username.

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?

Somebody mention black ppl up in hurr?

It's all NASCAR and College Football there.
Which isn't much unlike the rest of SEC states, but I never hear anything about High School Football there.
My experience though is basically a year in Knoxville. So not long.

Does most of the talent just go toward basketball? They've won in the past so I am a bit unsure why it's so barren at the moment.

Well, at least we don't fantasize about beastiality in our fight song.
"Once there was a girl on rocky top,
Half bear the other half cat.
Wild as a mink, sweet as soda pop,
I still dream about that."
