I was wandering around over at CNNSI.com when I came across a google maps application which allows you to view the recruiting progress of a school or conference in map form. For example, peep the PSU recruiting map.

Or USC's:

It is interesting to be able to get this sort of graphical comparison of recruiting classes. While college football is and always will be a regional sport, it is interesting to note how USC recruits on a national scale in comparison to PSU's very regional recruiting.
Which begs the question, should PSU be recruiting on a national scale or are the Lions getting what they need from the North East?

My guess is that it is easier for USC to recruit on a national scale compared to Penn State because of the weather. Let's not kid ourselves. Kids with possible NFL talent want to play in warmer weather a lot of the time.
Those are cool maps. I thought it was interesting that Michigan actually does more national recruiting than USC. It's just that the majority are from Ohio/Mich whereas the majority of USC's recruits are from Southern Cal.
It shows that the PSU staff pretty much keeps to Joe's "200 mile" philosophy which is just that - everything we need to be successful (recruit speaking) is within a 200 mile radius of Happy Valley.
Cool, those are called Mash-ups incase anyone is curious
