RE: New York Times touts Birmingham’s downtown revitalization
Not really. There are way more players from out of state on these rosters (as you've said many times before) those that are from Alabama are more represented from rural areas or inner city schools across the state. The only Alabama players from OTM schools are walk-ons. Save two or three

I do not usually think of Hoover schools as being "inner city", but Hoover players and a few from such as Auburn HS, Madison Academy as well as other suburban HS around the state account for most of the state's signees at AU or UA in the past decade. No D1 state university signed more than a half dozen Alabama public HS FB players last Feb. so "2 or 3" make a large % of those signed.
