sausmann9 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 when people talk local talent at the high school level; what is meant by local talent? For example the four kids from BC listed in the other thread about how far from home they travel, in miles, to school. Which of them do you consider local? when people talk local talent at the NCAA level; what is meant by local talent? For example, I consider Sean Clifford from St X as local talent for PSU. Is 7 hours of a drive still considered local at the NCAA level? Do we ever call players like that "regional" talent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorCalRuss Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Local talent at hs level should be the school or school district that's dedicated boundaries to where you live. My son goes to a hs in another city but it's 1/8th a mile from our home, city is zoned that way as a example. College level local talent would be from the state at major college and Smaller level and JC would be surrounding counties and cities?

Fred Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 We've got 22 high schools in 437 sq miles in Gwinnett. 18 play football. In less than 10 miles from my house I can be at 7 maybe 8 different high schools. There are kids from at least 5 high schools in my area that all played rec ball together, go to church together, socialize together yet attend different schools. That's all within 15 minutes of here.

Rufus69 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Colquitt's definition of "local" is kinda like Facebook. Our county...any bordering county...and any county that borders a county that borders us...are all considered "local". The only exceptions to that definition that I know of...is the states of Alabama, Florida and Michigan. Wait a sec...I forgot about North Carolina. But we're expanding.....

BigDrop Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 How long does it take someone to drive to work? There were a pool of GS 13's who commuted almost 80 miles each way to work for a government agency in Arlington, VA. (110-120K or so a year) Their houses in Charles county, MD were a quarter to a third of the price of a house in Arlington. They took turns driving and all four of them, over three or so decades, learned how to sleep while another drove. Their salaries and homes made it worthwhile. I believe the same would be true for an athlete: their future would make it worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCIntellectualProperty Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 i'd take a 10 mile radius for 'local' if all students/athletes within 10 miles of South Oak Cliff... went to South Oak Cliff...and weren't split between, Kimball, SOC,Carter and no less than 3 Privates and Charters, South Oak Cliff would dominate Dallas ... even more than it does now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cossacks Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'd say within about an hour or so seems reasonable on the long end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
