Gwinnett 13
Fulton 7
Cobb 8
Dekalb 5
Henry 6
Muscogee (Muscogee?!) 5
The first 5 are Metro Atlanta couties. I expect that Dekalb number to go way up starting this year. Actually I expect all the Metro Atlanta counties to go way up under Trent Miles starting this year. In fact of this year's 18 non JUCO commits, 14 are from Metro Atlanta.
Muscogee County is where Columbus, GA is on the AL line. That was surprising to have have 5 from there.

There's a lot of talent in the Columbus. The schools must be divided up in a weird way, because they make more noise on Signing Day than in the state playoffs.

Had a Swedish exchange student in high school. Was @ 6'5" and had legs twice as big as most people. Yep, his name was Bjorn also. Bet they develop pretty good legs with all that up and down walking in those mountains everywhere.
I think you are getting Sweden confused with Norway. I don't believe Sweden is particularly mountainous; Norway however is very mountainous, with the fjords and all.
I'm beginning to think the second letter of all Norwegian words is j......
I had a professor from Norway his name wasn't bjorn, it was Jari

I had Jari when I was a student back in '05, he is from Finland.

Fort Benning doesn't have a high school and that leads to a large amount of talent being spread around the area schools off post.

It must have been a 1000 level course, because when I had him for a number of my business history and historical economics courses he was pretty involved, he is a good dude. I never did get him into football though, can't say I didn't try.

We are lousing out on some pretty impressive African American players there. Even though they account for only 9% of that cities population they account for 87% of all FBS players out of there. I want some of that 87%.
Fort Smith produces some great players but it is small enough that we are talking one or two a year tops. If they are highly recruited then Arkansas will get them and stAte has had its fair share. Not really worth concentrating on specifically like going to a large metro where you can hit multiple schools with ease.
NW AR has not been very productive for anyone. Once you go above Ft. Smith you are taking a big chance signing a kid from that region.
