Some of that has to do with nationality too.. like Maine for example is
under-represented, simply because their best players (Jeff Tory, Dan
Shermerhorn, Blair Allison, Brad Purdie for example) are Canadian.  Since
BU recruits many players from around the Boston area, that would
understandably be why they have more.  While all this to me makes sense,
I don't know this for sure, it's my speculation..
