Max Preps Recruiting Top 100 2012

FL.  14

TX  10

CA    7

Case closed!
[/quote]Scout 100 has florida 17 and texas 13.  I didn't check rivals.  Max preps is more of a basketball site.  I think the real question is whether you are considering just the top talent or the breadth of talent.  I just don't have time to count up the scout 300 and rivals 250.  Either way, it's very close.

[/quote]Yes they are close. But from a recruiting point of view, the scouting services list more top  recruits from Fl. than Texas.

Drew Brees- Texas kid. Matthew Stafford- Texas kid. Andrian Peterson- Texas Kid. Greg McCleroy (Alabama QB)- Texas kid. Chase Daniels (Drew Brees' backup)- Texas kid. You'd be surprized on how many Texas High School players play out of state. A LOT!

C'mon guys, this is easy, just look at all the Texas Universities:

1. The University of Texas @ Norman, OK.
2. The University of Texas @ Stillwater, OK.
3. The University of Texas @ Lawrence, KS.
4. The University of Texas @ Manhattan, KS.
5. The University of Texas @ Lincoln, NE.
6. The University of Texas @ Fayetteville, AR.
7. Most of the universities in Louisiana including McNeese and LSU, who recruits heavily in our area.
8. Without the city of Dallas, Oklahoma would be a Div. II school.

I would love to see a breakdown of how many players Florida high schools have playing collegiately and professionally compared with Texas. If you're ranking blue chips, I'm sure several states could compete. But for the overall quality and sheer numbers, I'll take the Lone Star state. Most Florida kids play for a Florida university; what would happen if all of Texas' top tier players stayed here? I believe Dallas /FW alone could handle most, if not all, of the states in the U.S. in talent.

Yep, Robanadana...your knocking this one out of the park! no other state could carry Texas jock in quality.

You do know that Mississippi has more people on NFL rosters right now than any other state. I, too was shocked to fin this out.
