I have no idea why you imbedded a map showing the % of HS players per state who were recruited to play D1(which is different from actually played D1). What does this show/prove?
The state of Texas has the same population as Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee combined.
I really have no idea why you imbedded the map which(doesnt) show how remote Pullman is. That seems to be outside any point being discussed here.
That sounds impressive on the surface, but the state of Texas is also geographically larger than all those states combined (about 261,000 sq miles vs 240,000 sq miles). So the point doesn't mean much.
