Finally, here is a chart showing how each team fared in Ohio compared to the rest of that team's class. I have analyzed only teams that had a top-50 recruiting class and signed at least 3 players from Ohio.
The chart shows (in order): Total class size; Ohio signees; percentage of Ohio signees in class; overall class score; score of Ohio signees in class; percentage of class score from Ohio signees; differential between percentage of Ohio signees in class and percentage of class score from Ohio signees (a metric to determine how valuable the Ohio signees were to the overall class); average rating per signee in class; average rating per Ohio signee in class; differential between average rating per signee in class and average rating per Ohio signee in class (another metric to determine how valuable the Ohio signees were to the overall class).
Ohio State's class had 22 signees, with 6 being from Ohio (27.3%).
Ohio State's overall class score was 316.01, with 84.79 of those points coming from Ohio signees (26.8%). So by that metric, Ohio State slightly underperformed in Ohio by 0.5 (27.3% Ohio signees - 26.8% Ohio score = -0.5)
However, Ohio State's average per recruit was 94.76, while the average per Ohio recruit was 95.36. So by that metric, Ohio State overperformed in Ohio by 0.6.
It is interesting to note that Cincinnati had 3 more Ohio signees than Ohio State, yet Ohio State's 6 signees accounted for 22.2 more class points than Cincinnati's 9 signees (84.79 - 62.59 = 22.2). Cincinnati signed a lot of players from Ohio but did not get much value from those signees.
