Thanks to Auburn's College and Magnolia blog for helping me figure out how to do this.

I always enjoy any type of graphical visualization of data sets. I also really like recruiting. Combine those two in a paint shaker, and you've got this map of each town from which an Ole Miss signee hails.

As you can see, the Rebels pulled players from eight states: Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Massachusetts, and Illinois. The fact that Ole Miss was able to nab five players from Texas, four of whom were rated at four stars or higher (and one of whom was Greg Little, the #1 player in the state), is absolutely astounding.
