Re Recruiting Nationally...

I recently massaged the recuiting database from The Hive to see how "national" the prospect list is (see below). There is a total of 112 prospects listed. I broke them down as "immediate southeast" (total of 87, or 78%) versus outside the SE (total of 25, or 22%). There are a lot more listed from Georgia (43, or 38%) than I expected.

What are your takes on the breakdown?

Do you think GTAA has a bunch of non-SE prospects we don't know about (i.e., they aren't on The Hive's list)?

I'd say it's a combination of things. First, the claims that we aren't recruiting Ga just aren't true. When Braine said we could probably only recruit 9 of the top 50 he didn't mean that as a percentage of all GA players IMO. He was only talking about those 50 players. And to be honest, that's about all we've ever had a real shot at in the past.

I would also expect that there are a lot of non SE players we just don't know about.
 
On this list are guys we've got a 1 in 25 chance of getting.Some have committed elsewhere.
