Add the D1 commits from Westchester, Albany region and of course, Western NY and the number must be truly impressive.
179 all info from lax power 2015 data base


You failed to recognize/adjust for the fact that Long Island has a population density of 5402 people per square mile while Maryland has 550 people per square mile so Long Island should have more D1 recruits given their more concentrated population to draw from. Comparing apples to oranges and if one were to take the time to do the adjusted math, Maryland would more than likely exceed the number of D1 recruits of Long Island based on the number of kids playing. This discussion has taken place countless times on these forums-stop trying to stir the pot and recognize both regions have talented players. It is not an us vs them - those kids that go on to play in college, will all play together so stop trying to pit them against one another.
