Meanwhile, things are not great in California.

Here’s the state Georgia supplanted in the top three.

California’s got a lot of football problems these days. For years, the state has been producing fewer and fewer high-end defensive line recruits. It’s easy to extend that to Pac-12 teams getting pushed around by Big Ten and SEC fronts.

In a fitting end to the decade, the Pac-12’s biggest legacy program, USC, signed just two California four- and five-stars in 2020. Arizona State signed six. Recruiting is not the reason USC just lost an entire decade, but if recruiting declines too, look out.

It’s a big year in Florida, but Florida schools didn’t capitalize.

The state produced a whopping 59 blue-chips, nine more than normal. But Miami and Florida State have been down, and UF has played well but not recruited at an ultra-elite level. Out-of-state schools have filled in the gaps, led by Clemson, which signed three of the top seven prospects in the state.

Here’s the distribution of blue-chip recruits from the 10 best talent-producing states over the last five classes, from 2016 to 2020.

Blue-chip recruits by state, 2016-2020

State	Blue-chips	Total share
Florida	258	14.5%
Texas	245	13.8%
California	206	11.6%
Georgia	175	9.8%
Louisiana	76	4.3%
North Carolina	62	3.5%
Alabama	62	3.5%
Ohio	59	3.3%
Maryland	52	2.9%
Tennessee	51	2.9%

Willie taggart couldn't recruit a stud if they stood right in front of him and Miami can't protect their talent so no surprise neither of them took advantage of the best talent in the nation

 

FSU new coach will be a major upgrade over taggart

Why can’t they just figure out where the 8 IMG bluechips are from and make this more accurate?
