954gator Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 @181pl Do you think that Clearwater Academy will affect the Tampa area schools talent? Are the Clearwater Academy kids local? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
181pl Posted September 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Not sure. They haven't got much of the local talent yet. They might but too early to tell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

954gator Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Next week 110 ranked FL team Plant travels to DC to play MDs #1 team Gonzaga. See this is what we are talking about here. Mismatch city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbons, AHP, Miami Teams, are down a bit, but who knows who will be surprisingly better this year when the year comes to a close. There could be some surprise teams that are solid.

badrouter Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 I think this may be just the beginning for Florida teams being down. The state has had "Super teams" for a while, with Dade county having open enrollment and private schools in densely populated urban areas loading up. Now, that trend towards super teams has spread nationwide with what we see in SoCal, the DMV etc. Difference is, most of the schools in the other states invest a lot more into coaches and facilities than do the Florida programs. So, they tend to be combining similar, super-team level of talent with superior coaching. There's no reason to think any of this will change or reverse in the foreseeable future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami-Dade County does not have open enrollment. They have magnets and limited school choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalven Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Florida is having a down year. Georgia looks way better than last year. I can't really examine Texas due to lack of OOS games. Cali is still very top heavy and pretty much it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but FL even in a down year is still better than most states best years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plant has a pretty first rate staff. Experience, winning, coaches from all levels up to the NFL on staff. Plant's issue is talent. Not coaching. Still, now that they know they are in this trend, I'd like to see the offense go back to more of a spread where the goal is first downs and not their current offense, which has been predicated on power running and big plays in the passing game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

181pl Posted September 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 No. By a Dillard fan. I know STA is not down. I'm just talking about Florida play across the board. Talent is there. Schemes, togetherness, coaching seems to be lacking. Of course not all teams. Just in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
181pl Posted September 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Went to IMG BTW last night. BTW kept it together for a bit but they were overwhelmed by IMGs size on the lines, physical O, and speed on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
