First of all, I have the utmost respect for these programs and their ability to identify and develop talent.
Second, I have no relation to any of these areas and have no idea what the football culture is like, especially at the high school level.
My question is mostly for people who keep up with these programs, or are FCS nuts in general.
Where are all these kids coming from? Are these teams just so far ahead of the curve as far as strength and conditioning at the FCS level, that they have a built in competitive advantage?
I’m from the southern US, and I know that there are so many collegiate programs that our talent pool gets really spread out. However, a team from the deep south hasn’t even played in the championship game since Jacksonville State in 2016.
