The graph above shows the share distribution of recruits from the states (and the District of Columbia) that matter, even a little. I had to trim off the bottom ten states to get the labels to fit and be legible. Over the past six years, the bottom ten states produced a grand total of nine recruits, or an average of 1.4 recruits per year for all of them combined. Engineers and real statistics experts could probably say better, but it looks a lot like an exponential distribution to me.

Before fans from Louisiana or any of the other top states get too filled with pride over the position of their state on the list, they should consider the following: in 2013 American Samoa produced seven FBS recruits on a population of slightly over 55,000, for a rate of 12.6 recruits per 100,000 population. That is almost six times higher than the next highest single year rate for any state. Big time college football programs have only been actively recruiting American Samoa for a couple of years (and only a fraction of FBS teams do so); expect to see that trend continue.

My post was joking around, but thanks for serious reply.
