The Big 3

[imwhatzup]

The teams with the best recruiting base are Ole Miss-FL,GA,LA,AL,TX and Air Force-TX,GA,CA,OH,AL both having 5 of the top 7 recruiting states. I did totals with Air Force having a 1088 total pool and Ole Miss having a 1078 total pool. Northwestern has the top four TX,CA,FLA,OH.

Adding onto imwhatzup's post before mine, for those who are wanting to build a good team, Air Force has one of the newest teams in the FBS and was voted by BleacherReport.com as one of the Top 25 FBS teams to never win a National Championship. Just FYI for you guys

Just because you have great pipelines doesn't mean you are good. Many many schools also have Texas or Florida or California, or some combination, that are a lot better. Maybe they can beat out San Jose State recruits.

Also, when picking teams, I don't know why people are so worried about great pipelines to begin with. Sure, a couple states is nice, but all you have to do is get 4 recruits and you have a pipeline. I added Texas to Temple in one year with some 1-stars. Get in the door and go from there.

I probably would go with Northwestern because they have the top 4. These would be good rosters for Teambuilder teams.

It's just a kickstart to the recruiting when you already have them. As a team like NMSU, you need all the help you can get!

Ohio is closer to Florida on that list than Florida is to California.
