**I’ve decided to post the High School Team list on another thread so post away if you would like**

People that know me know I go to a lot of high school football games each season. I love to see a variety of teams throughout much but not all of Florida. Many times I’ll see teams that may have a top recruit and I don’t even realize it. I started this breakdown so this year that doesn’t happen.

First of all, here are a few explanations:
*AI will eliminate the need to do all this work. It may have done it already🧐. I looked but did not see any yet.
*I wanted to use our Rivals.com list but I couldn’t find a way to get a Florida only list. I used a composite list that used the Rivals.com as part of their calculations.
*It probably won’t be difficult to find mistakes. Believe me, the more I dig into interpreting the info I find more mistakes. If you see a mistake let me know. Gatorman may have a field day🤣.
*I omitted IMG in the calculations because they skew the results. I did include them in the team list so their players will be identified. It is impressive but that’s no surprise. IMG has 16 players rated with 13 in the top 100.
*Players transfer to other high schools and change their college commitments often. For example, Gatorman posted Berkeley Prep’s OT Johnnie Jones recently transferred to Venice. Surprisingly, he was Berkeley Prep’s only entry in the top 200. A college commitment that changed was Windermere’s DB C J Bronough who decommitted from Nebraska then committed to the Gators. He wasn’t the only one.
*I have put together the All 200 First Team with some Honorable Mentions.

TEAMS WITH MOST PLAYERS IN TOP 200
American Heritage Plantation - 9
The First Academy - 9
Northwestern (Miami) - 5
Chaminade-Madonna - 5
West Boca Raton - 5
Vero Beach - 4
Booker - 4
Armwood - 4
Cardinal Mooney - 4
*Even though the privates were 3 of the top 4 the publics held their own.
*The First Academy is on probation this year and are not allowed to compete for a state championship this year. Violations concerning many players on the list contributed to this.

COLLEGES WITH MOST COMMITMENTS IN TOP 200
USF - 10
MIAMI - 7
FSU - 6
Syracuse - 5
Florida - 4
FIU - 4
UCF - 4
UCF - 3
Toledo - 3
Louisville - 3
*Look at USF! They are beating the bushes to come up with quality high school recruits. Looks like Head Coach Alex Golesh is evaluating and convincing players that he is building something promising there.
*I should point out that Miami’s and Florida’s commitments are highly rated.
*Miami has many players that are heavily leaning to them but haven’t officially committed. The Hurricanes must believe that this year’s crop of offensive linemen is very good because they are involved with many in the top 200.

*First I will post the All Star Team then
the main in a following post*
*I will post HIGH SCHOOL TEAM list in another thread. It is long so it may take a while*

Currently on my list are the players listed for each high school and commitments for each college. These lists will change as players move, especially college commitments.
