954gator Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 3 hours ago, Fred said: Small is relative. The top recruited county is LA county (48) with 10.17 million people. That's almost as many as in the entire state of Georgia. Next is Broward County (38) (Ft. Lauderdale) with 1.89million and Harris County, TX (26) (Houston) with 4.5 million then Gwinnett (24) with 860,000 according to their numbers. By those numbers Gwinnett does pretty good for its size. I also think that when you have a large population of good players that some of them get rated a little lower. There is no way Miami should have that few top 100 recruits, but these sites won't rate that many players. They have all these random guidelines of how many should be per area etc. It's kind of stupid, but either way that Gwinett number IS VERY impressive. This is why I think that the recruiting sites are Fukn up Fl ratings since IMG's arrival. Now it seems regular FL players are never at the top because those are all IMG players. Like ok, now all of a sudden the only good players in FL are going to IMG? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECHS05 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 The only rankings I really pay attention to are the 247 comp rankings. It use to be the 4 main recruiting websites together... But 247 recently absorbed Scout, so its really just 247, Rivals, & ESPN. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ararar Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Look people let’s get real here.70 to 80% of recruits in both California and Georgia are African American So it really stands to reason that is the population that matters the most.Georgia comes in at 3 million and California 2.2 million you win again Georgia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is #1. LA County has 48, Gwinnett Co. has exactly half that with 24... But just to give you an idea ... According to these #s, percentage wise, IF Gwinnett Co. had the population of LA County... Gwinnett would have 273 prospects to LA Counties 48. LA must be as dense as China... Thats an insane amount of people. Thats a alternate fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are helping TCU if no one else. Texas has sent 13 to TCU this year. Couple other states 1 each. TCU will have a Top 20 class and they are currently #3 in the Big 12 this year in recruiting.

You would only use the amount HS Football players in each county. You do know in LA County I will bet you there are more Koreans and Chinese than your whole County. There are more Asians in LA County than African Americans. Ga is a Southern State with the most African Americans in the Country. Pretty silly. Unless you think all those Asians are playing Football in SoCal. I lived there damn near half my life I will assure you they don't. 1.4 Million Asians and another 2.1 million of other races that are not Hispanic, Black or White. Actually they only have 900,00 African Americans out of all those people. It's not the South totally different demographics. Go out there you will be shocked how many Asian Grandmothers are not playing football Using your argument if LA County was 24% African American like Gwinnett County they would have over 3,000 prospects.

If the coaches were in the halls of the school recruiting the Asian kid instead of on the phone recruiting the Tongan from up the road, they'd have more Asian kids interested in playing football. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilDog Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Ga should have more Recruits than Cali and most other States. Ga. has more Brothers than Namibia: Now that's some per capita for you. I wonder how many Recruits would Namibia have if we taught them football. Per Capita is a silly argument.

At one point and time Louisiana had a higher African American percentage than GA but thats because LA population is less than half of GA's. In all actuallity Louisiana has never in its history had a higher African American population than Georgia. And it still doesnt. Georgia has a population of 10.3 million Of that 10.3 million over 3.1 are African American Georgia has the highest African American population in the nation... California has a larger population overall but Very few African Americans. The Northwest area in general is very white...

These are facts only an idiot would see it as racist. The real South in every State have very high percentages regardless how big the population. If I am not mistaken Missicreappi though a small State is like 35% Black and the largest percentage of any State. Mix that with the culture of football where the South is mainly White and Black and not very diverse and it is perfect for football recruits. Black and White kids play football and make up the majority of the South. Asians and Spanish kids not as much make up the majority of Texas to Cali. Just a fact. The soccer fields here in the DFW are packed on the weekends like you are in Mexico. That's why comparing a County in Ga. to LA County is ridiculous. One is a Crayola box and the other have 2 crayons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZone Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Here's another twist.... Louisiana high schools are tiny... What amazes me is on any given year we might have a 3A or 4A public school with more talent that say a Dallas Skyline (5000 enrollment) and etc. We just ain't working with much here. How is that possible? I'll tell you. We are amazing. I mention that yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
