We produce large quantities of quality talent every year but lose much of it out of state. Obviously, Georgia can’t sign them all and Georgia Tech tends to shoot itself in the foot but I would also assert that the state’s geographically central position as well as the sheer number of FBS level recruits per capita bring more resources and attention from other programs than almost any other Southern state save Florida and now probably Texas. From a value perspective, even though Alabama or Mississippi does produce top talent, would a program be better off sending scouts to a game in Dothan, AL where they might find one player or Statesboro, GA where there could be 2 or 3 potential recruits lining up?
