DevilDog Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Florida takes over from Texas this year. The also get a bump from IMG which is not necessarily Florida Kids in some cases: Ranking all 50 states by their percentage of 2018’s blue-chip college football recruits Florida reclaims the throne from Texas, and here comes Georgia. Florida reclaims the throne from Texas, which led the way with 47 in the class of 2017 and 50 in 2016. Florida led in 2015, when it produced the likes of FSU safety Derwin James, Alabama receiver Calvin Ridley, and Florida tackle Martez Ivey. The state has five players rated five stars, which is huge. Florida gets a significant bump from 11 blue-chippers at Bradenton’s IMG Academy, some of whom are initially from elsewhere. Georgia continues to set itself apart as the biggest recruiting state outside the big three. This year, Georgia’s much closer to those states than it is to Ohio and Louisiana, two states often considered Georgia’s peers. https://www.sbnation.com/college-football-recruiting/2017/12/18/16780636/best-recruits-2018-state-rankings All 50 states and D.C., ranked by 2018 blue-chip recruits State Blue-Chips National Share Florida 65 17.8% California 48 13.2% Texas 44 12.1% Georgia 40 11.0% Ohio 12 3.3% Louisiana 12 3.3% North Carolina 12 3.3% Pennsylvania 12 3.3% Tennessee 11 3.0% Alabama 10 2.7% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have nearly 100 more than GA Even if done by size FL would likely still have top spot and besides GA has infinite more resources put into football than Florida so size shouldn't matter because they have a advantage most in Florida don't have Big name coaches So regardless FL has proven they are able to make the most out of What we got, if the state put the money into football that GA does or Texas does then FL would never lose the top spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you pump zero dollars into your kids, because well 98% of Florida is white knuckled and blue haired at the wheel of those 73 caddy's, and gotta have bingo and shuffleboard, right? 2.7 million students in 4,269 schools at roughly 100 kids a team roughly 426,900 football players and out of that 292 are blue chips, you call that productive? By all means get some coaches! No wonder IMG put up shop! Florida SUCKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly That's why the population argument Means nothing Those old retirees aren't putting on pads so FL probably has a similar player numbers as GA Keep in mind that while FL might have a few more schools they don't have the same roster size as GA FL rosters average between 40-70 on Varsity plus maybe 40 on jv GA rosters have over 100 on varsity, plus jv and freshman teams Very few schools even carry a freshman team anymore in FL So if were to compare how many players are available to each state the gap wouldn't be as wide as people want everyone here to think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilDog Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 This settles who the Big 4 are. And the HS football quality seems to bear it out. Now if you want to argue the best of the Big 4 that is another Subject. They are also the 4 fastest States as well. (My Track reference but it is true) Ga. is closer to the Big 3 than they are La. and OH where people try to compare them. We see Ya JawJaa. Now start acting like you belong and knock off the 35 threads a week. You are among Royalty now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the blue hairs. Florida has about 1,000,000 more students k-12 than Georgia. The raw material is there even if your state does a poor job of using it. If your average roster sizes are smaller it speaks to your inability to get kids to play. That's your problem, not ours. Even with smaller roster sizes you have more students and more schools. You *should* have many, many more elite players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct there We should have more elite players and more elite teams In my opinion (and many others) it stems to 2 causes 1) poor financial support 2) poor coaching What I'm saying though is i see GA guys using excuse that FL only has more because of our higher population which is bullshit Texas has nearly 3 times the size of Florida yet we passed them so GA can't use state size as a excuse for trailing FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when 3/4 of them are Foreign which is not the case in the deep Soufffeee. Haven't we had this discussion before. In Beast Texas that would 100% be the case just like the Old Souffeee.
