About the size of Cocoa. They have the old coach from Armwood on staff who won 3 state titles. they are a decent team but I wouldn’t put them against any one nationally elite. They got beat 37-6 by Chaminade and 36-18 by Cardinal Gibbons last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my point. My point is it doesn’t matter.They would have been drafted if IMG didn’t exist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree the guy went to Michigan and was a first round pick.If he stayed at Camden he still would have been heavily recruited because of his talent which can’t be hidden because you don’t play at IMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolebull813 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 It’s pretty impressive for a small state like Florida that is filled with old people, central and South Americans to be able to field football teams that can turn out good NFL talent. Florida has less than HALF the high schools Texas and California have. About 700 less. Let’s say each team has an average roster of 60 kids. That’s 42,000 more kids playing football in those states with a chance to get a D1 schollie and eventually a chance to go pro. Florida is always good underdog story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many areas where football is not a high priority to include fluffed rosters with kids just wanting to be a part of the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida is the 3rd most-populous state in the entire country. Out of 50 states, that’s not small. Florida’s population currently sits at 21,944,577.

So basically 2.8 percent.

Meaning there's a lot more rural towns that have schools then Florida. There's 249 6A Schools in Texas There's 161 schools of similar size in Florida(7A and 8A). Some 6A would also go here, but let's leave it at 7A and 8A last year. 5A in Texas has 251 schools 5A and 6A has 179 schools in Florida.
