St Thomas Aquinas is the equivalent of St Johns Danvers......they recruit from three counties and has little to do with "home grown." The towns on the SE tip of Lake Okeechobee....now that is home grown and talk about hungry. (Belle Glades, Pahokee, Clewiston)
Then there is Miami. I counted 184 players from the city of Miami have played in the NFL since the 60's.
