We had one in Shrout.
No, I get your point. By and large QB play at the high school level is superior out here than most other places. Texas is right with them.

It doesn't matter where they are from. Josh Heupel was from South Dakota and he was a National Champion and Heisman finalist.
Tua was from Hawaii. Burrow from small town Ohio.
It seems like TN is the only state that can never produce a legit QB.

Maybe you were thinking of that Brian Petty guy we recruited 2 years before him. He was from Tejas.

I would agree. Overall high school sports in California is years ahead of what I'm familiar with in Tennessee this includes the private schools as well. Whether it's baseball, basketball, and especially the skill positions in football, they just do a better overall job. The Southern high schools and coaches for the most part are all about out talenting each other rather than developing the players for the next level. I liken it to different ways of getting there. The old Soviet Union put great fighter aircraft in the air as did the USA back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. However we'd get one of their aircraft and were often stunned that their designs were simply brute forcing, just putting out more thrust with ever bigger engines. Meanwhile the USA was doing it with designs and sophistication for instance gaining more thrust not necessarily using larger engines put creating new alloys that allowed higher temperatures in the jet turbines to burn. Cali are the design sophisticated guys at the high school level, Southern high schools are the old soviet brute force system to high school football.

Very nice analogy.
Yeah, even in Basketball too...way ahead of anywhere else.

There are so many planned, epicurean type communities out here that pour money into some of these programs it's insane. HS Coaches making 6 figures and bonuses.

And then they recruit across the state and nation actually. I just watched Bronny a couple of months back, and I really wish that kid would play football. 5 star WR if decided to play...

Come on Football Season..........

Would we want the 10th ranked qb from Cali or the best one in any other state?

Some homework. Find the top 10 qb's from every state in the last 25 years, where they hail from and what sort of system they ran in high school and where they wound up in college and pro ball. You can use Rivals as your source. This is open book.

Post them on here in alphabetical order according to height in a final ranking of who was the most successful.
