ACC Now

Where football recruits come from

Bookmark and Share

Nathan Mageo will travel 6,890 miles from home to play football for N.C. State next season. How do I know this? MapGameDay.com.

Richard Crout tracks every recruit for every college football team on this unbelievably comprehensive site. Mageo's blue push-pin in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (he's orginally from Pago Pago, via junior college in New Mexico) is one of the more fun maps.  

Crout, with the help of Jay Christensen of The Wiz of Odds and March to Madness, also charts the recruits from the classes of 2008 and 2007.

Make sure you have a enough free time to stop over there. You could spend all day with those maps.
