Your always asking the tough questions. Big Grin Big Grin

Went back from 06 with Spark players that I have had and are out at schools. Obviously some of the kids have switched schools for various reasons but these were where they committed.

Since 06 sent out 127 players

58 players to Illinois schools at various levels at 19 different schools. So a little less than half stayed in Ill.

69 players have left the tundra to 48 different schools outside Illinois, many still in the frozen tundra however. Of the 48 outside Illinois 22 are still in most Midwest scouts areas( Il,Ia, Mich, MN, IND as a rule and it varys ). Leaving 26 schools outside my area scouts turf. Of the 26 schools we are talking 35 kids who scampered away.

Numbers can be misleading....

From a Pro scouting perspective I would think for job security reasons and others they would want our boys in the scouts area.. Midwest area, not just Illinois...

So to sum that mess up,
Have kids at 67 different schools since 06
41 of which are in a Midwest Scouts area(19 in Ill,58 players..) 22 out but in scouts area-34 players)
92 players stayed in their area.
26 out of the area schools , representing 35 kids.

Man Woodly, making me think too much on a Sunday morning.



thanks Bill that helps us alot.....and didn't mean to have to rack your brain that much...take care of that neck and back!
