I get the whole HUDL and MAXPREP sites and what they deliver.
You are delusional if you think there are reliable, comprehensive stats on Maxpreps for skill position players at most New England High Schools. Any NESCAC recruiter will confirm that.
Are you referring to reliable stats being available somewhere else?
. These HS staffs were competitive as hell & watched every single snap & charted every play....saw it like clockwork...sat thru more "film reviews" starting at 0800 & ending at noon than I care to admit...lotta coffee . Lochman
Are you saying that you get complete complete statistics on any HS kids for their entire career?
Always need to be careful evaluating guys off their high school film, many NESCAC guys were just bigger stronger faster and look average in the NESCAC. Opposite goes for guys who played in really strong leagues against D1 competition.
You are probably right, lumber. The top 5 states overall for the NESCAC in order (no surprises): MA, CT, NY, NJ and PA. It is really top 4 and PA is a decent drop from NJ as the 5th. So teams are still filling 2/3 to 3/4 of their rosters, on average from those states. However, to your point, it is all over the place after that.
CA, FL, IL, NH, TX, GA, ME, TN and VA are next. With 10 teams in the league, the average is 1 to 4 players from those states on each squad. Then a bunch of states that average less than one player per team. NC, OH, RI, DC, CO are some worth noting.
Some are doing it because of admissions leeway as you bring up, some may have to to do it to draw players and some do not have to...
There is talent everywhere, but this gives some clues on where the focus lies. Certainly specific leagues and programs within those states as well.Interesting Mole, great info.
Maybe I'm too simplistic on this but my contention is that nationwide diversity makes for more admissions flexibility.
Back in the day going back many years Tufts recruited a large number of eastern Ma and greater Boston prospects.
Today, I think Tufts admissions, and NESCAC admissions in general, value geographic diversity so they are much more flexible on a kid from Georgia or Texas or Oklahoma. If the Tufts staff presents another kid from Eastern Mass where they already have already accepted 8 recruits it can wear thin with admissions. They don't want 15 football players from Eastern Mass. I say Tufts admissions flexes downward a bit on academic credentials of prospects in other areas of the country to diversify the geographics of the incoming class.
It's a primary focus in all NESCAC admissions offices to bring in a diverse class from all areas of the country and I think Civetti and others are recognizing that and working in unison with Admissions toward this goal.
So in your opinion do you think HC plan is working ? We always say give it time but can you honestly see them making great strides to becoming a top tier team. They should be able to given that if I am not mistaken have the highest student body
Has anyone else been impressed with Trinity 2026 class. I mean they are stacked from getting a coveted Defensive End , to getting on paper a clone of Girard at WR from Georgia. I would say barring injuries this team is going to be tough to stop. Especially with all coaches returning and a great mix of upperclassman and rookies
