TheRealCAJ Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Interesting take....Football babies... http://www.cleveland.com/datacentral/index.ssf/2017/09/florida_georgia_lead_new_ranki.html The Southeast reigns supreme. The top five states are all from the Southeast, led by Florida at No. 1 and Georgia close behind at No. 2. South Carolina is third, Alabama fourth and Louisiana fifth.

Nolebull813 Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Just glad Florida can be in the conversation with giants like California and Texas. They do have more than twice the high schools and about 25,000 more kids playing football at any given time. 😝 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cream and elite players of Texas would still be around if program sizes were reduced or if weaker more rural programs consolidated. So Texas could theoretically cut participation significantly and the quality would be minimally impacted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not to be taken seriously. I know if they took half the schools in Texas and shut them down all the studs would just go to schools that are open and continue to thrive and advance to college and the pros. All in good fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take on what he is saying is, he would rather pick "all-stars" from the two most populous states than try and pick the same amount of all-stars from the big state of Vermont.

That don't increase number though And for fact we produce players on a level of states like Texas and California with at least twice the teams in it says a lot about Florida and ability to produce talent across the state at a high level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
