This isn't fully accurate as many of the players are associated with both a college team and a club team. For example there are 4 Polar Bears players on the team, but only two of them listed their club team while the other two (Kerns and Higgins) listed their college team.
Joaq,
Good point. No cross-rostering was performed during the making of the above charts.
The source data is taken directly from USAU's published data [http://www.usaultimate.org/news/2013-u-23-national-teams-named/]. Another example is John Stubbs (Paidea High School), but he's listed by USAU with a Club team (Bucket); hence, the visual data above considers him a Club player.
Oregon is the third most represented state with 7 players. Also, it would be more interesting to plot number of players per 100,000 residents (i.e. normalize by population). In that sense, California will not be that impressive, but Iowa will be incredible.
Dear Anonymous @ 3:33 PM,
Thanks for reading the data map! Oregon has now been properly given the bronze in state representation.
Excellent perspective/suggestion per state player population.
And no female data.
Anyone know anything about this Tom Allen guy?
