Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Generally when I am officiating a kid or two each season will catch my eye and I will casually follow him as he moves up the ladder. However, I don't put a lot of effort into it.

my HC quit between the last week of summer practice and the first week of school (with a game that Friday night) when i was a senior.  Most the team quit too in protest, but most the team came back to play after that first week.  it was some sort of drama with the school board and such- can't recall any of the details even if i ever knew them in the first place.  

nobody came out of that school and went anywhere except the junior colleges around who would scoop up anyone just willing to play.

afterward, a coach came in and did really well for the athletes- several went to major D1A/FBS schools- and a few went pro.  One will soon be in the HOF.  Everyone believes that one particular player was perhaps the GOAT from that area, but many would argue otherwise.  I'm one of them.  he's the one who found himself in the program that was ran by a professional at his job and who alerted the right schools- getting him national attention.  

.... and this is what my little 'project' is based on- which is attempting to allow players in forgotten area's and far away from any established 'pipeline' to solicit themselves as prospects....    

I feel like if I still lived in Gainesville, and now having a career and ample down time, my familiarity with the HS programs around the state, I'd probably/possibly be big into it.  
Without knowing the histories of these programs out in AZ, meh.  It's not as fun I guess.  

I do know that Arizona has been good for at least one top 5/top 10 QB recruit annually, though.  It's easy enough to learn who the big-time Phoenix-area football factories are, but I don't know jack about any of the rest of the state, besides the Navajo Rez.
