Maxpreps has breakdown of where 1st round picks went to high school.  Only a handful went to schools whose names most would likely recognize.

...the Florida guys...interesting that 4 went to schools not considered traditional football powers but were still "found."  Their ESPN rating in high school is in parentheses after their names.

Derwin James(5-star)-Haines City/Florida St.

Isaiah Wynn(4-star)-St Petersburg Lakewood/Univ of Georgia

Hayden Hurst-Bolles(5-star)/Univ of South Carolina

Calvin Ridley(4-star)-Monarch/Univ of Alabama

Lamar Jackson(3-star)-Boynton Beach HS/Univ of Louisville

Hayden Hurst only played 1 year of high school football. Pretty sure he wasn't a five star recruit.

Below is the link showing the 5 stars, but I had the same doubts as you and think there is an error.  With a scout grade like that, am guessing he may have been 4 stars.

Yeah that's wrong. Has him ranked as the 73rd best player in the ESPN150. When you go to the rankings he's no where to be found. Hurst wasn't considered a football recruit he was all baseball. I doubt they even ranked him coming out of high school. He had to walk on after his pro baseball career was over.

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave. 
    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here.
