Ten starters in Monday’s title game are from Florida. This does not include IMG kids. Here is the state breakdown:

Florida- 10 (4 from South Florida)
Georgia- 6
Ohio- 5
Louisiana- 5
Texas- 3
California- 3
Indiana- 3
Alabama- 3

That’s why stats like this, from the Class of ‘21, are important:

Read an article this morning regarding rhe amount of florida players on the teams. Talked about how things won't change until the florida schools start keeping kids in state.

i think that article’s premise is mistaken - it’s tail not dog. Alabama will always take some panhandle kids. Ohio State has always taken a kid here and there. So maybe the 10 becomes 8 (one each per class). That’s not going to be the difference or make a difference.

Alabama and Ohio State can also recruit nationally. If Jacory Brooks types stop going to Alabama, doesn’t mean Alabama will miss a beat.

The question is what it takes for Florida programs to get right, and the answer is fix the coaching and the infrastructure, and if they do it, kids will follow. Maybe it’ll drop down to 5 kids from FL on the combined Alabama/Ohio State rosters. They’ll be fine. And those 5 kids won’t be the difference between where the florida programs are and where they need to be.

it’s probably the 22 kids who went to other p5 programs that are the real tell here.

Been my point about recruiting for a while; Florida is a big state, good football gets pllayed all over. We haven't been as successful with what's left - Staff needs to do due diligence, not rely on rating services and find some of these gems all over this peninsula. Some come from sound long standing programs and are very well coached.

There's more players from Florida in this game than Alabama and Ohio combined.
 
It’s great that we’re getting more blue chips from Florida this year, but outside Taylor and Williams, they’re not on the level of most of the blue chippers that go to Bama, OSU, Clemson from Florida.

Where are the starting 22 of each team from?
 
This thread says it all. I see too many elite Florida players representing Alabama, OSU and other elite programs. If the Canes can’t win these battles in their own backyard, they will never compete for national championships. Period
