That is both meaningless and misleading

Those seven schools draw talent from key recruiting centers which just happen to be close to the school (FL/GA/TX/CA/OH). While it may be true that winning programs draw players from close to home, it is also true that losing programs draw players from close to home. Other schools that drew a lot of players from close to home include: Baylor, Texas A&M, South Carolina, Rutgers, South Florida, Illinois, Michigan State, and UCLA. Plus, a lot of others like Syracuse, Purdue, and Indiana look close to over 50% as well (I'm not going to bother counting push-pins on the map). During their NC days, Colorado and Washington both recruited heavily in CA, and ND has recruited from all over the country.

If these numbers are meaningful to you, you might want to add the fact that of the seven schools listed, six do not have blue on their uniforms or five do not have "State" in their names.
