Don't know where you read that either I haven't heard that . Deon may play some slot in a pinch because of depth. It was suggested that Artie could fill the role of Gunter rotating in some coverages.

[h2]The South keeps 91 percent of its top football recruits home, more than any other region[/h2]

How each part of the country compares at producing elite high school players and hanging onto them for their college careers.

I split the country into five regions and found where the top 100 247Sports Composite recruits in each of the past five recruiting classes are from. Then I looked at which region each player went to for college.

It's no secret the best high school football players are in the South. And even though there's a surplus of talent, most of it stays right at home. A whopping 91 percent of Southern stars stay within their region for college, with 66 percent going to SEC schools.

While the West Coast isn't quite as loaded, it also keeps a ton of its top-100 blue chips nearby for college. Eighty percent from the West go to western schools, likely due to geography. While players in other regions have many options semi-close to home, the Pac-12 is so isolated it has a big advantage over other conferences for schools in its region.

But players don't always stay in their native regions. The SEC has done a good job pulling stars from the Midwest, East Coast and Southwest, the latter partly due to the addition of Texas A&M. Notre Dame gets a substantial number of players from every region, in many cases beating out entire conferences, thanks to its national brand.

Percentages don't all add up to 100, due to rounding.

As for conferences themselves, the SEC took more than twice as many top-100 recruits as any other conference, with the Pac-12 making up a little ground.

The South has more elite players, so the SEC should get more of them. But players in different regions have different tendencies. Some stay home, but others choose to leave for better opportunities elsewhere.

While the South's SEC and ACC teams have a distinct advantage, the region's also able to keep recruits at home at a higher percentage. Western teams also keep elite recruits at home.

Midwestern teams have generally been able to keep other top programs out, while the Southwest is heavily recruited by the entire country. The East Coast -- home to mostly middling teams in the ACC and Big Ten -- has only kept elite recruits home 35 percent of the time.

There are some surprises. Of Arizona's 10 top-100 recruits, none went to an Arizona school, while all 10 elite recruits in Mississippi went to a school in-state. As likely expected, Texas, USC, Alabama and Florida State dominated their in-state counterparts over the last five years.

The takeaway? Geography matters a lot in recruiting, but if you know where to go, you can steal some players who might be looking to play far away from home.

Exhibit #24343 of the NCAA worrying about weird things, they have banned the tucked in/Crop top jerseys

I understand that the rolled up shirts make it harder for a player to get grabbed and dragged down from behind but, in theory, now if a QB is sacked and his shoulder pad is exposed, he has to sit out a play?

 

[witnesskb24]

There goes our chance at repeating and Zeke getting the heisman



NCAA is so petty though, there's probably way worse things going on that they should be worrying about

 

[gunna get it]

Need to go head and ban the lineman downfield screens. O well.
