Don't read too much into the 17 from NH because nine were true freshmen and I think only two of them are scholarship players. UNH continues to rely upon out of state students. But in-state kids will always have the opportunity to walk-on and develop!!!!! And the best in-state kids will always be a recruiting goal and a place found for you!!

I don't think App St recruits "nationally." Sometimes players that were already being recruited move, things like that... rivals listed one California player as looking at App St and Furman and someone else... probably used to live in NC or something.

56 from Louisiana, 20 from Texas, 1 from Mississippi, one from Georgia. McNeese is located about 30 miles from the Texas border. Using this site:

http://www.indo.com/distance/

I determined that 97 percent (76 0f 78) of the home towns of players on the roster at the school's web site are from within 205 miles of the school's town of Lake Charles. About 2/3 (53 of 78) are within 140 miles.

The average distance is 115 miles.

But in-state kids will always have the opportunity to walk-on and develop!!!!! And the best in-state kids will always be a recruiting goal and a place found for you!!

You can count the 5 Vermont Kids as virtual "in-state" kids for UNH, as well. With very few exceptions, UNH is the ONLY 1-AA school who pays attention to what is going on in VT and will give a VT a chance. It has paid off in just the last 3 years with Ball (3 time AA), the Peterson brothers (both AA as seniors), the Karim brothers (both starters at LB), ....

Since the University of VT dropped football after the 1974 season, VT kids have had extremely limited options within the state--just D3 Middlebury (were very few will qualify for admission) and D3 Norwich University (whose uniqueness has always been the military component). Norwich has developed some great new majors which attract VT kids & the coaching staff has committed to VT kids which is great. However, for 1-AA prospects, UNH has been just about it recently (again, with a very few exceptions over the last decade-UMaine, UMass, Fordham, ....)

Do you have any stats on how many Montana D1AA and D1A players are starters throughout the country? It is amazing that with less than 1 million people that you are able to produce so many D1 players, unless they are just on the team and never play. I imagine Montana and Montana State are relatively cheap schools for instate students?

What kind of climate is there in high schools for football players? It must be terrific to motivate that many kids to want to play college ball.

There are 5 classes of football in MT. AA(biggest schools), A, B, C 8 man, and c 6-man. Besides UM and MSU, Montana kids have the opportunity to play at (5) 4-year NAIA schools.

This gives alot of kids places to play, but imagine if MT had 1 four year university like WY does. We would be a top 25 FBS team.

Montana also offers in-state tuition (or large discounts)to all states in the West.

Approximately how many D1 football players would you say Montana HS football produces each year? I know it varies but give me a rough figure.

Here in Vermont, with 625k population and 34 football playing schools, if we produce a D1 player every couple of years we are doing well!

The guy from Sweden is a kicker? Ya?

That pipeline will dry up soon with Cal Poly and UC Davis getting better and better. No reason to play football where it snows when you can enjoy 65 and sunny in the middle of January and still play great football! :hurray: :hurray: :nod: :nod:

Note to superfan: FCS IS D-I. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

So, every player on MSU, UM, Idaho, Boise State, Wyoming, Oregon State (Ryan Leif's little brother), UW, etc., are ALL D-I players. :read: :read: :read:
I know that, your post makes no sense! All I want to know is how many D1 level players are recruited and signed, or are walk-ons on a D1 roster, out of Montana HIGH SCHOOLS each year, on the average.

If no one knows, no big deal.

I guess the reason I thought you didn't know is because I'd be SHOCKED if Vermont only produced ONE D-I player every couple years! :eek: :eek: :eek:

You mean, even at the FCS level? :confused: :confused: :confused: That can't be right....

Ever heard of a guy named David Ball? :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: He's not too bad...... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ball_(college_football_player)

that's right....born in Berlin, Vermont. :read: :read: :read:

Superfan,
In my previous post I said 43 between the 2 MT schools plus a few that go to 1-A schools.

So 40-50 per year.

Unfortunately what I'm telling you is correct! Vermont is not heavily recruited because the level of hs football is not considered to be very high. Our biggest schools (Division 1) have an average student population of about 1200-1300 and there are only 11 of them. The other 23 football playing schools are considerably smaller, thus the weekly competition is not as great as in more populated states. About 1/4 of the schools have been playing football for less than 5 years. The other factor here is that college tuition and room and board costs so much that it cuts way down on the number of athletes willing to walk on at a D1 school. Since Vermonters are not recruited much and they can't afford to walk on most of them end up playing for D3 college programs in the northeast. There is nothing wrong with that, of course, but I feel like players here are as good as anywhere else but they never get a chance to show it.

I think you will find that in 2007 there will be (2) D1 FCS scholarship players who call vermont home and none in D1 BCS. Three of the 5 at UNH have graduated, leaving 1 who is on scholarship, and there will be 1 at Fordham. There will be a walk-on here or there but that's it. I understand 2-3 are getting a look by UNH for the incoming freshmen class but as walk-ons only. There are 60-70 kids playing football at D2 and D3 college levels.

Dave Ball is probably the only Vermonter to EVER play in the East-West Shrine game.

Since it is the off season and the verbals are flying, I am curious were do your players come from?

SDSU 2006 players by state:

South Dakota = 28
Minnesota = 16
Iowa = 14
Nebraska = 12
Arizona = 6
Wisconsin = 5
California = 3
Texas = 2
Missouri = 1

Here are our Verbals to date:

IA = 4
MN = 2
SD = 1
TX = 1
