check this out. The usual suspects (USC, Florida,) are swimming in football talent. Nothing new there...but check out some of the numbers. Cal obviously doesn't have to go around as much as say, WSU, to get talent. But look how many live within 200 miles of campus, how many are in-state. And how UCLA is so close to all the great players but they still stuck...etc.
