I thought I'd run down the All-American game rosters to compare teams total number of players in both the Army and Under Armour games. I thought maybe some other people would be interested in this too. Top All-American Teams: 1. Texas - 12 2. USC - 10 3. Ohio State - 10 6. Georgia - 9 ***5. Michigan - 8*** 6. Florida - 8 7. Notre Dame - 7 8. Oklahoma - 6 9. North Carolina - 6 10. Miami (FL) - 6 * Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, and LSU all have 5 Here's the full list of schools who have recruits playing in either All-American game, in alphabetical order. The list works like this: School - (Total # of All-Americans) # of Army/# of Under Armour Alabama - (5) 4/1 Arkansas - (1) 1/0 Arizona State - (1) 1/0 Cal - (3) 1/2 Clemson - (5) 3/2 Florida - (8) 4/4 Florida State - (5) 1/4 Georgia - (9) 3/6 Illinois - (3) 2/1 Iowa - (1) 0/1 LSU - (5) 2/3 Maryland - (1) 0/1 Miami(FL) - (6) 2/4 *****Michigan - (8) 5/3***** Michigan State - (2) 2/0 Minnesota - (2) 0/2 Mississippi State - (2) 1/1 Missouri - (1) 1/0 North Carolina - (6) 5/1 Notre Dame - (7) 6/1 Ohio State - (10) 5/5 Oklahoma - (6) 3/3 Oklahoma State - (1) 1/0 Oregon - (1) 1/0 Penn State - (3) 1/2 Rutgers - (1) 1/0 South Carolina - (3) 0/3 South Florida - (2) 0/2 Stanford - (4) 1/3 Tennessee - (1) 1/0 Texas - (12) 7/5 Texas A&M - (1) 1/0 UCLA - (3) 0/3 USC - (10) 6/4 Virginia Tech - (1) 1/0 Wake Forest - (1) 0/1 West Virginia - (2) 1/1 So what does this all mean? Nothing we didn't know already really. Getting Will Campbell obviously helped us out alot. It's good to see with all the decommits we still rank among the top classes. If we had kept Newsome/Beaver/Mcneal we'd have an elite class. Hopefully we can fill those spots in with some high quality recruits and end up somewhere in or near the top 5 classes. North Carolina really surprised me here, especially once they picked up Brennan Williams during the game. Texas dominated everyone but there could possibly be a slight bias to Texas high-schoolers selected for this game seeing as the game is played in San Antonio. Florida nabbed two commits during the game, placing them near the top of the list. All-Americans by conference: SEC - 34 Big Ten - 29 ACC - 25 Pac-10 - 22 (10 from USC) Big 12 - 21 (18 combined from Texas and Oklahoma) ..this is sad for the Big East more than anything else... I-A Independents (Notre Dame) - 7 Big East - 5 So some unbalance in the Pac-10 and ridiculous amount in the Big 12. These numbers give hope to the Big Ten coming back soon, and point to a possible demise of the Big East. All in all, 14 different schools have as many or more all-americans than the entire Big East (including us!). Important to remember that players don't have to attend an All-American game or even perform well in that game to be good in college. You really have to be proud of Rodriguez and our recruiting class right now. Just trying to keep hopes up for next year :) Update - 1/5/09: -Added 6 commits from UA game, updating top ten and conference totals Notes: -This list is derived from rosters on Rivals.com, from these links: -http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?SID=880&CID=866621 -http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?SID=880&CID=893928 -Updated the list during the Army game with the recruits who committed during the broadcast, plan to update tomorrow after Under Armour game as well
