Hopefully we can get to the point where we start hitting that Iowa goldmine.

BJ. This would be a good time for your stats if they exist. Show him how much talent resides in the untapped Iowa.

is this a stat

[BJWilliams]

Not a stat...its just a well known HS in Iowa. They have 4 current NFL players that came out of that school

Stat.

The state of Iowa is 30th in producing FBS players, and 25th in players per capita.

(2009)
Texas - 1714 FBS players
California - 1493 players
Florida - 1379 players
Iowa - 104 players

BJ, get the fudge out of here.

no bells ringing.

25th per capita is not bad.

Which is rather sad that that is all you focus on. It was a very sad story to be sure. BTW if the only mark of how good football is in a state is how many I-A/FBS players there are that come from that state, its a pretty sad and rather shallow standard to have

We already knew that 14 was shallow. Tell us something we don't know.

Actually that's the only reason I've heard of the High School.

What other statistical analysis can you find that would suggest that Iowa has good football? Players in the NFL? Where the top 3 have over 170 each and Iowa 22? Or scout 100's best programs in the US, where Iowa has 1? Don't let me fool you, that last "stat" means absolutely nothing IMO.

Beej if Iowa had good football more FBS teams would recruit there.

All of this should be enough to say that comparing California, Texas and Florida to Iowa is a like a post-game shower scene at an inner city school with an Asian kicker.

it's good to hear that some kids still value that sigmo..I would totally feel the same way that i would go where somebody made me a priority rather than a last minute swing after their top target was lost.

Nick played well last week .... it's a good thing. The defense was on the field a lot. 10 tackles I think!
