Message: [QUOTE="CONNMAN98, post: 2639743, member: 6150"] Using each schools official stats and rosters I compiled a list of every player who has at least played one minute this year AND is listed as being on their current roster (this would exclude players listed on the roster who are red-shirting or who transferred, etc.). The range for each school was from 10-14 players. I also made a smaller list of the more "significant" players on each team. For this I just included those players who played at least 10 times as many minutes as the teams total games. For instance UConn has played 34 games so the "significant" players had to have played at least 340 minutes. Using UConn as an example, this includes their top 7 players by minutes played ( the starting five plus Azura and Meghan). The range from each school was 6-9 players. The state I used was the hometown listed on the roster page. It didn't always coincide with the state of the HS (ex-hometown DC, HS-Mary). I also included the countries for the foreign players even if they had a US HS listed (like IMG etc). TOP STATES (OR COUNTRIES) FOR CURRENT ROSTER OF SWEET SIXTEEN TEAMS: TEX (25) CAL (18) MICH (14) NC (11) GEOR (9) AUSTRALIA (9) NY (8) CANADA (8) FLOR (7) IND (6) WASH (6) ILL (5) OHIO, ARK, PENN, MO, MISS and NJ (4). Michigan's high total is due to 13 of their 14 kids being from Michigan. TOP STATES (OR COUNTRIES) OF "SIGNIFICANT" PLAYERS IN SWEET SIXTEEN: TEX (17) CAL (12) NC (7) AUSTRALIA (7) GEOR (6) MICH (6) IND, ILL, NJ, NY, WASH (4) ALAB, FLOR, MISS, NEV, ORE, CANADA (3). I was expecting Texas and California to be the top 2 states in these categories and they were. UConn, Duke and Louisville were the only teams to not have a "significant" player from their home state. Uconn the only team not to have anyone from their home state. The teams most top heavy with in state "significant" players were Central Michigan (all 6), Baylor, Texas and UCLA (all with 5 in state significant players). And finally i don't know if this whole thing means anything...but I did it anyway. Sorry if I wasted anyone's time! :( [/QUOTE]
