Breakoff of the other subject. Interesting numbers in Texas Football magazine showing that SLC had the most D1 recruits over the last five years in the state of Texas.
Numbers are facts, but many times you need to go deeper. I will try and provide some brief color behind it. Note, my source is Dave Campbell's magazine. I have not seen an online version, but certainly many on here can check the accuracy.
First, It did surpsise me that SLC would be #1. SLC Dad pointed out, accurately that they had a big number, 10 in one year.
Second I think the thought among two posters, possibly more is that the players do not represent the highest level of recruit. I will look at the schools mentioned, as well as schools from the '07 class of other schools to compare. Because I am getting these numbers from the hard copy, I cannot link.
I also think that you get into sticky ground when you start to qualify D1 recruits. Is USC better than Stanford? Certainly more prestigious, but what about Stanford and Baylor? I don't want to make that distinction for this arguement.
I will post the raw data in a separate post. My experience is that it will likely be ugly, but certainly some will want to see it. If you have the magazine the table referenced is on page 48.
