Honestly University of Maryland is a poor example of where the best players go because U of M is a State school. For various reasons not the least of which is economic. A state school is going to pull most of its recruits from in state. There is a huge difference in enrollment costs in state and out of state. A better test would be picking a quality private college program and looking at the rosters. Costs are the same for all players. I just looked at ND for a quick test. 7 from MD 7 from LI. honestly the most important thing is if they are all team players, have skill and can be coached. Those kids come from everywhere and generally don't have over bearing parents.
