What city has the best HS football?

    I guess this is directed at me.......hhhmmm...

    I stated that the Miami High School kids don't put forth effort in terms of S&C.....and that maybe it is a Miami thing "in general" as the "University of Miami" football players in addition to the High School players don't put forth much effort into S&C...

    Hence, the issue isn't "endemic to the high school kids in Miami only"....it's a city-wide "thang".

    Seantrel got to UM in "2010" but I guess it's the cities fault he couldnt bench his weight.

    -Grayson just "mercked" Miami Central 35-3 last Friday and held them to 22 yards of total offense. Grayson was the ESPN #1 team in the nation and Miami Central was the USA Today #1 team in the nation going into the game.
    -ATL Metro currently has 3 teams in the top 25 nationally (Grayson, Walton, Lassiter), 4 teams in the top 50 (Kell)
    -ATL Metro has the #1 overall player in the nation...and the #1 RB (IMO) in the nation
    -22-23 players ranked 4 star or better in the 2013 Class.

    Miami/Dade area has great athletes but those guys don't put forth the effort in terms of S&C that the ATL Teams do. Guess it permeates all levels in Miami it was also evident in the S&C numbers of The U [of Miami] that don't stress strength S&C either as I currently weigh ~180 and I was stronger that ALL of their LBs in the bench press & squat when I saw their 2010 S&C numbers. If I recall correctly, Seantrel Henderson couldn't even bench press his bodyweight. This was also evident in the Grayson vs Miami Central match-up as Grayson physically man-handled Miami-Central.

    Did. Not. Read.

  • USC has 11 NC's from mainly So Cal kids so the L.A. area must be doing something right.

  • There are more players in the NFL, and MLB, from California than any other state. California is divided into 10 geographic sections. One section produces 65-70% of the Division 1 football recruits and NFL players from California every year. The Southern Section in California produces the most talent year end and year out. South Florida and Metro Dallas also produce huge numbers of players.

  • I think if you are looking at one city/metro area in terms of high school football teams, it would have to be the Dallas Metroplex, right? Or maybe Atlanta.

    Players- probably either Miami or Los Angeles.

    Not surprising since The []__[] has the most players in the NFL.

    I would probably agree. Seems the infrastructure and coaching is much better in Dallas and ATL than in Miami. Most of the powerhouse Miami schools are public schools in poor neighborhoods.
