How to read recruiting geography
Treat the map as a pipeline view, not a guarantee of future production. Dense clusters show where a class is sourcing players, while out-of-region markers can reveal national recruiting bets or one-off relationships.

Map Guide
Use recruiting geography to spot pipelines, not to flatten context.
The map is most helpful when it turns a class list into a regional pattern. Pair it with recruiting rankings, high-school detail pages, and team context before making a claim about roster building.
Pipeline questions this can answer
Use the map to ask whether a class is local, regional, national, conference-heavy, or position-specific. Then move into the recruiting hub or high-school pages when you need rankings, player detail, and school-level context.
Year and filter caveats
Each recruiting cycle is its own snapshot. A single year can swing because of coaching changes, roster needs, late commitments, or missing hometown coordinates, so compare multiple years before calling a pattern permanent.
