Football talent comes from places where they can play football practically year round.  In the northeast, recruits miss out on 3 or 4 months of time on the football field.  They can hit the weight room and exercise indoors, obviously, but that requires resources not available to everybody.  Out west, down south and in a lot of the midwest, you can head outdoors and throw a football around practically any time of the year.

Northeast schools have to go out of their local area to find top recruits.  That hurts.  With the emergence of some smaller schools in Texas and Florida eating up talent that would have otherwise gone elsewhere, the pool of recruits is dwindling.  Let me know if I'm wrong but, last I knew, the best recruits come out of Texas, Florida, Cali, and Ohio.  What do you tell those kids to get them to come up north to play ball?

edit:  based on this: [URL='http://www.sbnation.com/college-football-recruiting/2016/6/28/12040586/rankings-state-stars-florida-texas-california']All 50 states, ranked by their star CFB recruits[/URL] , apparently Ohio isn't as big a player as I thought; Georgia is, which speaks to the point even more.
