I'll stop here, but you have plenty of talent just within the state from those schools that these student athletes got to and other schools like many of the urban and Catholic/private schools across the state(big and small), Maine-Endwell, Carmel, Somers, Cicero-North Syracuse, Shenendehowa(in Clifton Park), Lancaster, Tioga, Salamanca, Massapequa and other suburban/small town schools that could fill out a good portion of the roster with quality players and that will play for a school they have a state wide connection to.
