Speed Kills

Florida, Texas and California are more than great places to retire. They are home to speedy youngsters that make up the wealth of talent at Division 1 schools across the country. The great dynasties of this century are based off of talent that has been incubated below the Mason Dixon line. USC, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas, LSU, and the Florida schools prosper because of their close proximity to the rich recruiting grounds that are the humidity filled southern states.

Desean Jackson, Devin Hester, Romance Taylor, Trindon Holiday, Demarco Murray at, Jamaal Charles,Willis McGahee and many more all found their start in the South. College programs are giving Southern recruiting zones such as Houston their own recruiting coordinator. Southern California and Southern Florida produce enough speed each year to win the 4X 4 relay in any country other than America each year. Looking at any school that has won a national title in the last twenty years and an established recruiting trail leading straight to the speed states has been the impetus for their success.

The great Don James led teams at Washington in the early 1990's ruled California in their recruiting. Nebraska led by Tom Osborne in the middle 1990's stole great players such as Tommy Frazier from Florida and Lawrence Phillips from California.

Oklahoma and Texas subsist primarily off of talent that is located in Texas and have for the better part of the last 50 years been major players in the college football landscape based off of the talent located in the great state of Texas.

Bobby Bowden, Steve Spurrier and Butch Davis will give you first hand accounts about the unnatural speed located in Florida a state so rich in speed that it feeds programs as far north as Iowa and Ohio with its skill position players. Santonio Holmes the great Ohio State star had his beginnings in the swamps of Florida. You can't teach speed and if longitude and latitude are any indication you cannot teach location in relation to speed. I strongly suggest to any coach wanting to keep his job and possibly contend for a national title to cover Florida, Texas and California very thoroughly in pursuit of the one thing you cannot teach in football...BLAZING SPEED.
