Amazing that some people think if your parents live in a small school district it mean you'll never be capable of becoming a D1 football player. NU was almost built using them, hth.
Yeah, because playing against 2A talent and training using 2A facilities will really get you where you need to be to compete at the D1 level.
I do not disagree with this, at all, but at the same time I recognize that there are numerous kids from KS who are making D1 teams, whether they play at a 4/5/6A school they are playing against inferior talent and teaching all while having little to no trouble making the transition.
I just don't agree with the absolutes and downplaying of 3/2/1A kids from KS. I mean hell dudes, there are plenty of them from KSU's history who were able to play with anyone. The #fracking1 player in the country just came from a school who plays teams comprised of the same type talent/training in 1/2/3/4/5/6A KS high schools.
And SD, I LOL at the makovica clan reference, and no, I'm not taking the time to dig through their history, accept it or don't.
Funny thing that you may not know: those 50-lb plates prolly came from one of those 1/2/3A schools in SW Kansas. I played down there for H.S. in a 1/2A high school. In college, I played at an NAIA school in central KS. By far, the 1/2/3A high schools in SW Kansas had 3x better facilities than the NAIA colleges and other high schools in Wichita/KC. From what I was told from the admin, the schools made so much money back there that they have to give the state money back to evenly distribute money to the poorer (aka Eastern Kansas 4/5/6A schools), so that's why the 45lb plates at some of those sw Ks schools weigh 50lbs to you guys from eastern ks, cause they have to stuff the extra money somewhere to keep the state from taking it.
(Why do they have so much money you may ask?) Think OIL. SW KS has one of the largest natural gas reservoirs in the country. Schools are banking along w/ the farmers who have oil wells on their land.
