Transfers Are Really a Dade/Broward County Problem
Below are the number of 2018 Top 200 FL seniors and Top 95 juniors, broken down by county, who transferred to a school within that county over the past 2 seasons. Outside the Top 200 seniors, the number of kids getting FBS scholarships drops off substantially. These numbers do not include IMG players or players who transferred from outside the state/region. In parentheses after each county is any school within that county that got 2 or more of these players.
So, some schools may be gett
To some extent, sure. I'm not sure exactly how big and systemic a problem it is, though. I'd love to have some data of starter-quality football players who transfer each year. The percentage of those kids who transfer relative to the total number of kids who play may be quite small. Have to wonder if the 80-20 rule applies here, with 80% of transfers going to 20% of the schools.
