go to UT now, but went to Camden County, GA in high school. They are #21 preseason, but I'd bet we could beat anyone in the country, have won 2 5-A state championships in a row.
anyways, it is good to see Alcoa at 89. Weird not seeing more Tennessee teams in the top 100
So this post got me thinking. I took a look at some of the states that typically produce a lot of talent. The list below are some of those big states and how many HS they have in the top 100. I think the list below just further proves that TN must recruit out of state in order to compete on the field. It is interesting that Alabama only has one HS in the top 100 though. Thoughts on Alabama recruiting? My take is that they have been so good under Saban that they can cherry pick their entire recruiting class from anywhere they want.
Florida - 12
Texas - 12
California - 11
Virginia - 5
Ohio - 5
Louisiana - 4
Georgia - 4
North Carolina - 3
Tennessee - 1
