No problem! It's great work. Would love an analysis of Georgia (which is imo the most interesting recruiting state).
UGA fans will tell you that Gwinnett County (north eastish ATL suburb) is cursed because none of the big prospects over there ever seem to pick UGA, despite the proximity. Unfortunate because that's maybe the single greates…

In general, Kirby has been much better with rural GA prospects (especially in middle/south GA), so whenever there's a class like 2025 where most of the big prospects are rural south/middle GA kids, UGA does a lot better in-state. When the class are mostly metro ATL kids, UGA has a harder time. It's an interesting phenomenon to me, at least, haha.
ATL metro is heavily recruited and relied on by neighbouring programs like Clemson, Tennessee and Auburn. South Georgia is a battle with Florida State usually as most of those kids grew up as FSU fans. West Georgia (Columbus area) always a battle with Auburn and Alabama. The state has grown so much as a football talent producing state though, that it really is a national recurring ground now with programs like USC, Ohio State and Texas routinely coming in for players.
