I think this post says a lot. The top schools still cherry pick the best kids from Florida, but they don’t build through Florida. Bama and LSU build through LA, MS, AL, and Texas. Georgia and Clemson build through Georgia and the Carolinas. OSU builds through Ohio and the northeast with a strong national presence as well. OU goes through Texas.
It’s tougher to build a strong foundation for a team through Florida players.
this right here^^^this is exactly what I’ve been saying. Those teams cherry pick FL, but are in no way building through Florida. Clemson has one FL guy starting, LSU has none, and Ohio State only has 2. OU has none this year, and only had 1 in previous years (Hollywood)
Some posting on CIS will have you believe the very lifeblood of those teams are from FL talent but that’s not even remotely true. Not even close to being true.
Build your team with Florida players and you get Miami over the past 16 years and FSU over the past decade.
