[QUOTE="Techster, post: 196382, member: 360"] I didn't refute that the numbers were declining, my inference was that decline is neglible: [I]"In 2008-09, 1,112,303 boys participated in 11-player football, and the most recent trough was 1,086,627 in 2012-13 — [B]only a 2.3 percent drop[/B], or 25,676 players. With more than 14,000 schools playing high school football for NFHS-affiliated schools, [B]that’s a decline of only one or two players per team, [U]total[/U], over the course of four years.[/B]"[/I] Definitely not enough to impact the recruiting numbers. The poster was making it seem like declining participation could be factor in recruiting. Those numbers would refute that. My bigger issue isn't so much in his opinion, which every poster is entitled to, but his lack of any credible evidence to back up his opinion. As his last post exemplifies, he was more enamored with his opinion than being accurate, which makes having a constructive discussion impossible. [/QUOTE]
