well, CA has about 80 JUCO's.  Ny is probably 2nd with 35ish, TX has 25ish, IL has around 25 as well.. FL, MI and AL have around 15..

I haven't done a geographical layout of them to see what specific area has the most but I have a pretty good list made up that has the states, city, college, etc for each junior college..

 

Fantastic job! Way to go.

NJ has 20 or so as well....CA's JUCO to FR ratio is definitely the highest, it's very noticeable recruiting there.

Duke -- you probably have your max favorites already.  Remove one of them and the star will be available.

That was it, thanks.  Had no idea we had a limit of only 10 favorites.  That's pretty weak.

Ohio University in Athens Ohio is missing.

For division 3. Where is the best area of the country to have ur team located. Based on fertile recruiting grounds to build and maintain a team

I think Palm Beach Atlantic is the best place. You are the only one in Florida, and especially if there are not many human D2 coaches, you can pull down lots of local talent. Colorado is also very good because it's hard for people to compete at long distances in D3

Agree with this...have long said that Colorado and PBA (personally I'd put them in that order, but D2 coaching densities could sway my opinion) are the two best jobs to have in D3. 

On the other end of the spectrum, there's Maine-Presque Isle (miles from everywhere, never had a player within 70 miles when I coached there, and the whole Northeastern gauntlet and its 100+ D3 colleges has a distance advantage over you when recruiting the rest of New England...). Sul Ross St. wasn't a walk in the park when I grabbed it in a world either (you pay out the wazoo for the Texas FSS each year, only to discover that rarely is an obtainable recruit generated in your half of the state and most of the ones in New Mexico are just far enough away to be annoyingly priced, if you're lucky enough to be in a year when NM produces something worth recruiting.)

Umm... "Vagina Tech"?

Re PBA and D2 human coaches, it's really just whether the d2 sunshine state conference is full and the caliber of coaches that will determine how good (or not) the available recruits are. As a PBA coach in a world where sunshine state is loaded with good coaches, I've often had to recruit outside of Florida, which gets expensive from the SE tip of the country.

Colorado College is like playing on easy mode.  Currently favored to win the NT in year four of a rebuild there... it's just so easy, beating up on Sim DII schools for Colorado recruits.

If the RMAC is empty, yeah. I had a really hard time finding decent talent when I was at Colorado in Phelan. The RMAC had 8-10 human coaches at that time, and they usually picked off everyone worthwhile from the D2 list and often recruited guys on my D3 list. 

Wow...this is really cool. 

Is there a way to get the maps to overlap so we can see the d3/d2/d1 distance relationships?
