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

Sony Michel(4-star)-AH Plantation/Univ of Georgia

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.

    • The biggest problem at public schools right now is 2 things. One, they are hiring radicals who are more interested in indoctrinating kids with extreme ideologies rather teaching them basic fundamental skills to become well rounded adults. And 2, they are not getting rid of the worst students who take from the kids who want to learn. If kids skip school they should be expelled. Drugs. Expelled. Fights. Expelled. They can stay home and do E-learning. But these public schools keep, and sometimes cover up crimes and poor behavior. Get rid of the kids who don’t want to learn. You gotta tighten the ship 
    • Better to have some kids thrive, then none. Every kid who goes to a private school and thrives is a net benefit to society. Plus your scenario assumes that the private schools don’t already have great teachers taking up all spots available 
    • I’m glad those recruiting rules don’t apply to Broward & Dade county…….
    • Or the private schools will use their combination of private money and public money (i.e., vouchers) to hire away the best teachers, leaving the rest at the public schools to teach those who don't have the resources -- even with the vouchers -- to send their kids to private schools.  Of course, if this happens, there might be a few folks who will brag that it all worked out the way it was planned.  
    • Yeah, if you're in a in a program that has accountability and structure the season never really ends. January to August is when you win championships. I just hope the fans understand and respect that. The coaches should be paid accordingly for the time, effort and sacrifice they put in for the school and football program. Oh, and that 100 degree heat aint no joke for the players, trainers and coaches.
