Recruiting America

[Eric the Red]

Which one and why...

 

[kramer]

Got to go with California because of lack of competition and these guys will work better with our offense.

10 years ago I would probably say Texas, maybe California.

 

[AR Husker Fan]

Had to go with Texas. Their high school programs are incredible, they produce at least as many athletes as Florida or California, and they will have grown up in the Big 12 - they will understand the rivalries and what is at stake for each game.

 

[StuckinChicago]

Easily Texas. There is a reason why that state supports 8 division one football schools, 6 of which are pretty good. By far the greatest depth of talent. Guys with unbelievable measureables, like Cody Glenn, get overlooked simply because of the depth of talent. Cali may have a few top notch products every year, and the same goes for Florida, but give me Texas everytime.

 

[husker in soonerland]

Texas is the best HS Football State in the US.

 

[nebr_bob]

I went with California - lack of competition is the main reason look how many teams in the Big 12 and the SEC hit Texas - I understand there is an abundant amount of talent , but it is a log jam trying to get the best players from there.

:cheers

 

[hack]

Texas, because it steals players from Oklahoma and Texas. :thumbs

 

[kanhusk]

Texas due to the overall depth of talent. Cali has great talent at the top, but not near the overall depth of Texas.

 

[Huskerfan66]

It has to be Texas. Florida and Cali are right up there with talent, but the competition for the FL and CA talent is much tougher. USC can have just about anyone they want from Cali, and there is always the big 3 in Florida taking in almost all of the big time prospects. In Texas, ut is really the only power recruiter. The Huskers can go after Texas guys just as well as A&M and Tech are able to.

Why isn't Nebraska on there? That must be the other that someone voted for. I know most big time universities come through here for their talent. :sarcasm

I went with Texas by the way.

Seems like NU did pretty well in the mid 90's. The majority of those kids came from Nebraska, with kids from other states mixed in to complete the team.

You recruit kids just from Nebraska and I'll recruit kids from just California and well see who's going to win. NU has maybe 4 kids a year that are legit D-1 players. In the '90's schoalrships were different.

That was a group of kids that comes along once in a long while. You just don't see that, especially here in NU. You probably see that out of football factory states like TX, CA, and FL

Hey, if you want take the bull by the horns and make NE a top football prospect state, go for it. But if they aren't here, they aren't here.
