Other states

The same read for every state with enough college signings to measure.

A recruit's state is his HOMETOWN, so this is where Maryland talent comes from rather than where it plays. Descriptive hindsight, not a forecast. Draft outcomes cover all positions (2010–2020 signing classes, each with the full five drafts behind it); the college-contributor count covers offense-skill positions (2010–21), where we have production data. How this is measured.
