I can't seem to find the recruiting discussion from before, but it seems relevant for this thread. Bleacher Report (take that for what it's worth) put out a top 25 ranking of the states that produce the best CFB players. Beej, I think you will find this particularly educational --> not a knock at all.

Virginia isn't in the top 10
Although Virginia doesn't have immense volume, the quality of prospects is terrific. An average 3.46 rating is the highest among states with at least 10 qualifiers.
1-5 are pretty much on par for what I would have expected.
6. Alabama
5. Ohio
4. Georgia
3. California
2. Florida
1. Texas
How does this relate to Liberty to FBS? HCTG does a great job of recruiting nationally, specifically Texas and Florida. Liberty will be in a great position for early success at the FBS level if it can transition the 2-stars to 3-stars and the 3-stars to 4-stars. It's exciting to see all of the 3-star recruits HCTG has already offered, but it will be interesting to watch how many of those turn into verbals. Time will tell, but it makes sense why Texas, Florida and Georgia are a recruiting focal point for this coaching staff.
