Recently FAU coaches went to Indianapolis to watch an event. The HC went to the Northwoods league to watch a juco player from the midwest this summer.
One SEC team has an on staff paid scout who goes everywhere to watch players.
There is a lot of searching going on everywhere these days.
As he said, coaches do not fly up to northern high schools to watch games in the SPRING. Except maybe the scout from the one SEC school?
I've certainly never seen a southern school coach at any high school game in Wisconsin, nor have I ever heard of one attending a WI HS game, and I've been attending games for decades.
The Wisconsin kids get seen in the summer, fall and winter at showcases, tournaments and camps.
We live in Idaho, and Ryan had MANY D-1 Power 5 Coaches fly in to see him play in the Spring. You just can't paint everything with the same brush.
Idaho is a little more off the beaten path than Wisconsin. If the coach finds out about a kid, and they want to take a look at him, he will travel.
