Your list of a dozen or so guys spans like 30 years. I know that there are more and you just chose a couple of handfuls off the top of your head, but SU was not very good in the 70s and early 80s (ftr, Tim Green does not fit your description of an underdeveloped HS kid that produced in year 3 and 4) You also left off the list of out of state guys that is  probably a lot longer and more distinguished.  SUs top period of success, the later Mac and P years, the roster had many guys from NJ, MA, CT, PA, MD-DC, FL. McNabb was from IL, Reyes from OH...
It's also not accurate to say kids are the same all over. Maybe genetically speaking they are, but socio-economic and demographically speaking, they aren't. A 6'4" guy in Vermont is not as likely to develop the zeal for football required to put in the time and effort to fill out his frame and develop the requisite football skills to compete in FBS as a similar size and athletic body in the Philly area.
