This site is always entrenched in FLORIDA football, and FLORIDA recruiting, and more about specific Counties than actually talking about any other states. The reality of University of Miami football is that some of the key players over the years did not come from the Sunshine state.... Testaverde, Kelly, Maryland, Shockey, Searcy, Stubbs, Olsen, Winslow II, Dorsey, Torretta, McKinnie, Romberg, ....Kaaya, Njoku, AQM, Jenkins, Berrios, Gus Edwards, Elder, Herndon, Willis, ....
Just curious, outside of Florida, what do you see as the next 3-4 key states to recruiting football at The U?
for me....
1) California - so many all time great have come from this state over the years. Not only is it a huge state but incredible skilled position players have emerged consistently.
2) Georgia - we are starting to make a push and Richt and staff should make this even more of a focus moving forward. Some big boys from this state.
3) New Jersey (NJ is small but very populated and is key to the U in the past and presently. There is great HS football in this state and The U should go even deeper into the talent pool. Don Bosco, St Joes, Paramus Catholic have played the FL teams tough over the years.
4) Louisianna? We have pulled from this state. Logically, the talent is in TEXAS and they should be tops BUT over the years, it is just not a place where the U can recruit.
What do you guys think?
