Texasball Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 When you add in Juco transfers California is 3rd nationally and Georgia is 4th. if only counting kids who played HS Ball last year Georgia is 3rd and California is 4th Texas is #1 Florida is #2 pretty damn close to Texas 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolebull813 Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I think Georgia has been a better football State for a while. You cant judge Cali by 2 transfer academies. (SJB and MD). The typical Cali team does not look like that. These are all star teams recruited up to be relevant nationally. I think the difference in the states is the same in the college conferences. The SEC has been the most dominant conference the last 15 years because of freakish defensive athletes particularly on the D line. The PAC 12 can’t compete like that. And if that wasn’t enough, Georgia has progressed exponentially on the offense side of the ball from when Rufus and Rab played. This ain’t your granddaddies Georgia football! They have found a way to get the freaks on the offensive side as well. Georgia has it all. Just like Texas. I say it goes Texas Florida/Georgia Cali 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZone Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 ...rated four or five stars at 247Sports Composite since 2013....only 6 states in triple digits. Here’s the distribution for the top 15 states in the last seven classes combined, going back to 2013. The best blue-chip talent states from 2013-19 Florida 337 15.3% Texas 321 14.6% California 295 13.4% Georgia 221 10.0% Ohio 104 4.7% Louisiana 101 4.6% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key takeaway: 76 percent of America’s blue-chip recruits are in 10 states. And 89 percent are in those top 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

954gator Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I personally like total # of kids signed over the # of topXX ranked etc. Rankings are just not accurate enough IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I actually put in effort towards my work instead of just being a petty prick like you because I didn't tell you that LSU was a elite team which by the way they aren't and will be bama bitch this year just like they been since 2011 national title game and they will once again be sitting at home come playoff time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that, especially since many these player rated sites are not actually seeing the kids play in a game and are instead going by measurements while wearing shorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLA is pretty stout at the top. Even in a “down” year CA 2d best team lost to STA. I don’t assume SJB and MD would BOTH beat the very best teams in FLA.

Crazy how Fl is “trending so far down” on these recruiting websites. FL was at or near the top BEFORE IMG, but now with those extra kids from IMG, Fl has less total “blue chips” lol. I guess the NFL numbers (which so far have been pretty much IMG-less) are showing Fl was overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
