It goes more by the cost of "Scout Live," "Host Recruit," and "Visit Recruit." Those in-state will have a cost of $125 each, and those are the most likely to be "landable." Recruits where the cost is $650, $500, and $700 are also possible targets for a school like Southern Illinois. Actual distance within the state is not a factor. I did some of the leg work and research for Gary when he was setting this up several years ago and it's a matter of drawing a circle to include a certain rough area of a certain number of miles out of state; that's what differentiates $650, $500, $700 from $850, $750, $900.
But states as small as Rhode Island and as large as California are treated the same in this regard.
You won't have any $650, $500, $700 states if your school is in Alaska or Hawaii, and few in some other remote areas.
Hope this helps and keep the questions coming!
