- sinoue 5mo agoNice job!
- brockbedard 5mo agoThank you! Anything you particularly liked about it? Any additional feature you'd like to see? No pressure.
- Caged 5mo agoLooks great! I did something similar to this back in 2014. It surprisingly still runs: https://labratrevenge.com/cfb-recruiting/ https://labratrevenge.com/cfb-recruiting/
- brockbedard 5mo agoAwesome! I really like the visualization.
- phreeza 5mo agoIt seems like college towns have a lot of players even if they are small, what's the reason for that?
- brockbedard 5mo agoSometimes the football culture is big in those specific places. Also generational players (kids of coaches/players) stick around the area. Walk-ons, as well.
- troad 5mo agoVery neat! I tried to drag left to get to Asia / Oceania, and got stuck on the International Date Line. Would be neater if it wrapped around, and didn't put Samoa and Australia on the opposite ends of the Earth. :)
- brockbedard 5mo agoGood callout. I'll change this tomorrow! Thanks for the feedback.
- Beestie 5mo agoThis is really cool. I took a couple guesses as to which team had the most states represented (Colorado, Notre Dame, USC, K State) but it was too close to call. So easy to use. Bravo.
- brockbedard 5mo agoThanks! Very fun to see the breakdown by state. I'll be updating for 2026 rosters once the dust settles going into fall camp. Will be interesting to see how it changes with the transfer portal comings and goings.
