Interesting Recruiting Tidbit

Was looking at 247 rankings for 2021 and 2022, sound an interesting but not at all surprising trend.

So in the next two recruiting cycles schools that comprise approximately 10% of all MSHSAA football playing member schools are going to produce almost 80% of the Division I talent in the state. Seems legit.

When are the public schools going to start working harder and developing these kids at the same rate as the private schools? I wish the private schools would divulge what their secret is.

Was surprised not to see Trinity represented at all in 2022? Is the recruiting, I mean hard work, in Spanish Lake drying up?

It's in the genes.

Pure coincidence! You nailed it, they have always said if you don't like it, you need to just work harder! It doesn't matter if ole 6'3, 235 Billy who lives 25 miles away for them, you just need to get your 5'9, 155 Poindexter working harder! And those billboards on the highway, ads on the radio, and twitter messages promoting incoming student visit nights, those don't mean anything.

I mean these are all STL schools. Not fair to compare to the other 90% of Football Programs. Those other areas of the state just dont produce athletes like STL. They’re small and slow. Nothing to do with Private schools.

Pembroke Hill is in St. Louis? That must be the extended metro area...lol

They can recruit everywhere.

Of course its not a private school thing. Is just pure luck that out of approx. 80 football high schools in the STL metro the superior athletes just happen to end up at the same 5-10 private schools every year. Cant help that, just dumb luck.

They just have better coaches and they work harder

THE YEAR IS NOW 2020 AND YES MOSPORTS IS STILL COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE. YES, STL PRIVATE SCHOOLS LOAD UP WITH LOCAL TALENT. I PROMISE THIS POST AND THE 473738373736367338 BEFORE IT WONT CHANGE IT. THEY’LL CONTINUE TO RECRUIT AND MSHSAA (because they literally cant prove it) WILL CONTINUE TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT

I don't have any issue with it. Last time I checked the superior talent of STL is 0-3 against the "small and slow" kids of Lamar. In the past 10 years about 15% of Lamar's players have went on to play college football. That's from a town of about 4500. Per capita you could probably argue Barton County is producing more talent than STL.

 

[hb1025]

But are these kids from Barton County playing college football or in the NFL

Um yes. He said in the last 10 years approximately 15% of their athletes are playing college football.

 

[hb1025]

Or the NFL
