For the past eight years, Front Range, a mainstay of PSU's online community, has conducted the Annual Recruiting Survey, which breaks down the origins of football talent across the nation. In this part we take a closer look at the Keystone State's talent breakdown. Initially in Part 1 of our Annual Recruiting Survey, we reviewed the national Class of 2008 talent distribution, identifying the top states that produced Division IA talent this past year. In Part 2 we reviewed the eight year trends of talent origins across the top states. Now, we take a closer look at how Penn State's home turf of Pennsylvania breaks down by district, reviewing the Class of 2008 distributions for the Keystone State. First, here is a map of how the PIAA districts are split:
 Consistent with most years, the vast majority of Pennsylvanian D1A talent comes from the WPIAL (District 7) although the number was down a third from last year – from 42 to 28 – confirming the discussion we heard during the recruiting season. The biggest increase this year was in District 12 – Philadelphia city region – up from 2 to 7, a 250 percent increase. Here are how the districts broke down:
District 1: 11
