Way back in the old days, the top states interested in recruiting Canadians were those that shared the same border with Canada.
Going west to east most players went to Washington, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, New York and Maine.
When the Perfect Game Scouting Service listed its top recruits by conference, the leader was the Pac-12 ... with seven. And only one player crossed the border from his province to the adjacent US state ... Okotoks Dawgs’ RHP Boston Warkentin (Ladner, BC) is attending the University of Washington Huskies. PG has him rated 61st among the top recruits.
Three players are with the Utah Utes with Vauxhall Jets RHP Anson McGorman (Parksville, BC), White Rock Tritons RHP Chase Marshall (Surrey, BC), who is 89th and former FieldHouse Pirate C Cameron Gurney (Scotland Ont.) listed 113th.
Former Toronto Met RHP Turner Spoljaric (Lisle Ont.), with the University of Oregon Ducks, is listed at No. 31, Former Okotoks Dawgs OF Max Hartman (Okotoks, Alta.) is off to the Washington State Cougars.
The highest ranked Canucks are former London Badgers RHP Carson Lumley (London Ont.) who is a Bowling Green State Falcon and listed 18th in the Mid-American Conference.
Next best are RHP Zakery Szabo (Whitby Ont.) headed to the Troy Trojans and is listed as 20th best in the Sun Belt Conference and Utah’s McGorman.
