Oh good, broken record growler on his montana recruits posts!
So lets check the facts. "3 times the amount of starters for Hauck from Montana vs out of state". That would mean each team he fielded would have 15 to 16 starters from Montana. Additionally Growler points out these teams made deeper playoff runs - so lets take a quick sample, 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2009.
2004 team:
Offense out of state kids had Ochs, Proctor, Rhoades, Orwig, Marshall, Walden, Heidelberger, Hancock, and Seagers.
Offense in-state kids had, Jay Green and Lex Hilliard
Defense out of state kids had Varona, Horgan, Vella, Edwards, Clark,
Defense in-state kids had Spencer, Murphy, Hoge, MacIntyre, Lebock, THomas
So the 2004 had 14 out of staters and 8 in-staters. One could also point out the offense had 3 other major contributors who were not starters and all out of state kids, Talmadge, Justin Green, and JR Waller.
2006 team
Offense out of state Bradshaw, Swogger, Allen, Chamber, Marshall, Russum, Balogh
Offense in-state Bagley, Beaudin, Michael, Dow
Defense out of state Wilson, Jackson, Tyler Joyce, Dlouhy, Mettler,
Defense in-state Torrey Thomas, Colt Anderson, Biermann, Kyle Ryan, Utterback, Mullan
The 2006 team had 12 out of staters and 10 in-staters
2008 team
Offense out of state Bergquist, Quinn, Horn, Russum,
Offense in-state Reynolds, Mariani, Ferriter, Beaudin, Dow, Hillesland, Schulte
Defense out of state, Fisher, Stadnyk, Swink, Mettler, Stoll, Thompson,
Defense in-state Anderson, Schillenger, Lebsock, Corwin, Jace Palmer
The 2008 team had 10 out of staters and 12 in-staters
2009 team
Offense out of state Sambrano, Burton, Horn,
Offense in-state Selle, Reynolds, Palmer, Mariani, Beaudin, Verlanic, Hillesland, Dyk
Defense out of state Stoll, Shaw, Fisher, Campbell, Tru Johnson, Keith Thompson, Hobbs
Defense in-state Mullins, Lebsock, Schillenger, Waldhauser
The 2009 team had 10 out of staters and 12 in-staters
----------
Never did any of the teams that won playoff games have 3 times the amount of in-state starters vs out of state starters. It was a fairly balanced group actually.
Totaling up the 4 years worth:
Out of state starters: 46 players
In-state starters: 42 players
