College Hoops Capital
Some light weekend reading for you from my Basketball.org post of the week brings up a discussion on the capital of college hoops. While some areas may fight for it with talent (ie. Duke, UNC, NC State, Wake Forest), my argument is that LA has the most NCAA Division I teams within an hour drive of each other.
Nine Division I basketball teams covering three conferences within an hour drive of me. That is impressive. That is a lot of games to go to as well, and my calendar is now full through 2012, but that is impressive. Does anyone else know of any area with more Division I teams so close together?

After years of scouting college players, I know LA was a good spot to set up a base. Not sure all those schools are within an hour, unless you’re driving to them at 3AM. Other good areas were Philly, SF Bay, and Raleigh, from my perspective.
While you’re at it, is there any consensus as to where the best high school players come from? Obviously it would be population weighted, but are there some areas where they produce a disproportionate number of players for the area that go on to say -Div. 1A schools, and maybe the NBA.
