Bradenton/Sarasota area has IMG, Manatee HS, Braden River, Venice, and there are about 5 other HS around there that are known for producing DI talent every year. Some of those schools like SRQ Riverview and Bradenton Southeast have fallen off since IMG and Manatee have taken off

Got jack from Palmetto as well. Booker in Sarasota used to be a good one that's where Sam Shields came out of I believe

Correct you are about Booker and Sam Shields.

Thought so I played for Braden River 2005-2009 I remember seeing him play Venice in 2005

 

[AUcane]

Bradenton manatee still good? They used to be a huge power in the 90s.

Is it true Jack Daniels had a scantily clad pic of Urban Myer on his office wall with lipstick smudges on it?

Check this Ohio is more comp then California... if I had to name top 5 states to compete with FL

D.C
California... (they more Hollywood then gridiron)

bruh, no offense, but ur str8 tripping right now. I live in Cali and I saw Concord De La Salle set the record for not losing a game. I saw Long Beach Poly smoke teams outside the state of Cali consistently. I saw Compton Dominguez smoke teams outside of Cali (shout out to my bruh Richard Sherman). I saw Matre Dei, Bishop Amat, Crenshaw, Dorsey, Serra, Notre Dame, Garfield, Harvard Westlake, Corona Centennial produce a grip of NFL players.

There's a reason why ESPN show cases Florida v. California on the grid-iron.

Top States in Order, imo:

Florida
California
Texas
Louisiana
Ohio

New Jerseyand DC is trying to crack that top 5 as well, but I got Georgia slightly behind Ohio

I'm from south Florida and use to think like you, until I seen players from Cali play live. Completely changed my mind about Cali athletes. Cali has elite athletes.

I've had the privilege to see Florida boys play on the HS level and Cali boys....I'm completely enamoured at the talent pool the State of Florida has to offer, in particular So. Fla....but, Cali boys can play too. Everyone think L.A. is hollywood, but it's the gang bangin' capital of the world...so a lot of these parents put their kids in sports at a young age as an escape from their surroundings. I don't even want to go through the list of cats you will never hear of b/c they made a wrong decision that would be in the NFL right now. Florida and Cali mirror each other, imo. But I'm still taking Florida athletes in regards to football over Cali, but Cali is definitely 1B.

Ayo Rell you visit Anaheim/Anaheim hills much?

[MENTION=5469]D.L.I.N.K.D.A.GR8[/MENTION]: I'm in the bay now, but when i go back to visit my parents and relatives that's in LA...yeah, definitely. I have friends in Fullerton and a former jump off in the Hillz. lol.

When it comes to talent I think Georgia and Louisiana are the only states that would compete with us. The cajuns from the boot ain't no joke. Don't let Standish Dobard fool yall. I think he's going to ball out this year just because of richt play calling alone. The boot has major talent all over.

Cali ?

Kids, this is why you dont smoke crack...

obviously you don't watch or pay attention to high school football. just pay attention to the state of ohio and their football, when u get a chance. that's not a diss to georgia...but Justin Hillard (#3 ILB in the nation), Jerome Baker (#5 OLB in the nation), Dre'Mont Jones (#14 DE in the nation), Jonathon Cooper (#5 DE in the nation), Tommy Kraemer (#3 OT in the nation) are all from the state of Ohio. Stop being fooled that just b/c Georgia is a Southern State it has to produce the best talent. I mean I just named a handful of recent kids...didn't even mention Big Ben, Charles Woodson or many other great players from that state. Ohio produce beast...**** the PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF HAME IS IN CANTON, OH. I wonder why?

I like your list bruh, the only thing I'd change is Ohio and Georgia's places. GA has made up a lot of ground in recent years (maybe all the national transplants that have moved to metro ATL). They've always had athletes but they're producing more big-time prospects than back when I was in high school. On the other hand, Rust Belt states like Ohio and Pennsylvania have seen their football reputations decline due in part to their shrinking populations, especially Penn(Western). Another state that produces ballers but goes unnoticed because it's small is South Kak. SC is always up there with the per capita leaders in CFB and the NFL, and a lot of their top kids are legit.

I feel you dog...and I know GA is making up ground, but Ohio is still producing, nationally, top 5-10 positional players across the board along the trenches, LB and DB spots. I can't lie, I don't follow GA football like I do Fla and CA. football, but I pay heavy attention to TX and OH football as well. Maybe I should start seeing what's up w/ GA football. I know they got some players, as well.

Dis man got it, right here. Howevah, I wouldn't put DC up there at all - even the metro DC area. Heck, I'd put the tidewater area above the DC area. I'm not real impressed with the DC area football schools.

I'd leave your top 5 as is and I'd include Georgia in there over NJ and DC.

Yup, Metro DC has athletes, but I'd agree they have NOTHING on the Tidewater area. DeMatha is probably the only school up there that could compete annually in the power states and they likely have some kids on their roster from well beyond the local area.

But I'm still taking Florida athletes in regards to football over Cali, but Cali is definitely 1B.

I definitely agree with you bruh. I have family out there, a little in South Central and the surrounding cities like Gardena, Long Beach, Carson, etc. so I've had a chance to watch some of the schools like Serra and Poly live and they've got horses out there. Their top programs, competition level and game speed are comparable to what you see here in Florida. I will say though that their defensive mentality overall is a little softer than what you would see in the South, but there are definitely many, many individual savages over there (e.g., Vontaze Burfict). To me, Florida is absolutely #1 , Cali and Texas flip-flop depending on the crop they put out yearly, Georgia and Louisiana. I think if Louisiana had a population of 10 million, they'd be 1B, the talent there is that good. One last thing, I applaud NJ for carrying the entire load for that region (NYC, LI, CT definitely subpar to put it nicely, plus some people lump the South Jersey guys with the Philly kids, but I digress), but the state is top-heavy. There's probably about 20-30 kids up there that range from pretty good to elite(1 or 2) and the rest are JAGs, plain and simple. In a vacuum, the 31st best player in NJ shouldn't get a letter from us, unless he's grossly underrated. I like the Tidewater area, the Carolinas and AL/MS better than NJ.

Destrehan (La.) High School DL Glen Logan got an in-home visit from Cane line coach Craig Kuligowski this evening.

"He came over at 6 - it went well, he's a real cool guy," Logan said. "he was here for about an hour. We were talking football, about life after football, education. He also talked about guys he coached like Shane Ray."

Logan says the time spent with coach Kool, as he's better known, "Helps Miami with me - being able to meet him, talk to him in person was great."

Logan is set to visit UM Jan. 23.

He says he's down to two schools: LSU and Miami.

An LSU soft commitment he's asked what the Canes need to do on the visit to catch up with LSU.

"Not much, really," Logan said, adding "Miami's always has been in good shape with me."

Logan says he'll wait until signing day to announce a decision.

 

[Jimsartay]

o-ya , now just close baby

 

[nycane]

at least Kool can talk about more players than Muhamed Wilkerson, Muhamed Wilkerson, and Muhamed Wilkerson.

California... (they more Hollywood then gridiron)

I disagree. I don't see how Penn can be in the same discussion as Cali, when they've dropped off worse than any other state that's a football power (both in talent and quality of teams). Those Penn powerhouses from 15+ years ago are almost all no longer nationally relevant.


LA metro alone, has more national powerhouses than the entire state of Pennsylvania. They also have what's known as the toughest district/conference in the country in the trinity league and the toughest playoff circuit with the Pac-5. Teams like Long Beach Poly, which have been one of this countries top producers of NFL talent, are usually bounced out of the playoffs early.

I respect your opinion Barboni. But i disagree when it comes to the talent . There is still a lot of Pennsylvania surprised me when I was staying in the Cumberland valley a year ago. Harrisburg reading Lancaster Altoona had some grown men out there. I wouldn't be surprised if Pitt challenges us every year.

Now I will say I'm my judgment from California is all based from me playing juco out in San marcos. Watching reggie bush at helix was awful. Corona had the best squad at the time they were centinial i believe. They had a running back from there that went to Hawaii with Colt Brennan.

There were like 4 or 5 schools that looked legit to me from San Diego to LA. Majority of the kids in the LA area going to the Catholic schools were on that Matt leinart Hollywood lifestyle tip. Can't really speak on the bay I do think fresno and Bakersfield have more talent than san diego. I'll know later this year though when I move to the bay and see for myself.

There are more catholic powers in the LA area now than before. I'm in my early 30's and when I was in high school, Mater Dei, Amat, and Notre Dame were nationally known but schools like Serra and St. John Bosco weren't poppin' yet. Even Oaks Christian didn't take off until mid 2000's when Joe Montana's kids played for them. Back then Poly was King and much of the talent going to the new private programs would play for schools like Crenshaw & Dorsey (LA's Northwestern & Central, right down to the colors) and core suburb powers like Mayfair.

Closing on this guy would be extremely encouraging. He's visiting LSU this weekend so we've gotta hope he doesn't cancel his visit to UM
