In-State Players Thread

Next year's DL class on the west coast is going to be another good one. We lose Benning, Bronson, Clark, and possibly Levi after this year and already lost Mosiah. That's 4-5 spots and it looks like we're only taking 1 this year. I'm thinking we take JTT along with 2-3 other prospects in the '21 class to get our numbers back up.
 
The in-state talent coming up is fucking incredible.

I had a theory about this that was so good that I went home and had congratulatory sex with myself:

Football is drying up in the more populous west coast areas. It's not extinct yet, but the numbers are definitely down. And yet here's Washington having a bit of a high school football renaissance. The quality and sophistication of play has never been better (at least at the pointy end), and there have NEVER been this many in-state kids hovering near the top of the national TBS rankings. And it's not just the Ferndales and Prossers and Wenatchees; it's mostly the big city schools.

It's gotta be the Seahawks. The Seahawks made their first Super Bowl in 2006. Class of '20 would have been five years old. Enter the "Twelves" bandwagon era, with everyone within three states jumping on. They win a Super Bowl when these kids are 12 or 13. Go back again the next year. Every kid in this state grew up in a near-Texas level of stupid football worship, with giant 12 banners painted on building walls and flags flying all over the state. A guy I work with spent thousands of dollars on a custom Seahawks vinyl wrap that covers his entire truck and matching blue/green wheels. He's debating wrapping his tailgate fifth wheel to match. Football has been King Shit of Turd Mountain in this state since the 'Hawks got good, so Washington has largely bucked the west coast trend of sagging football enrollment, although there have been some program casualties in isolated pockets (I know Anacortes is a recent addition to the list).

Anyway, that's my theory.
