Athletes on the south side aint soft either... Something to be said for that. Year in and year out the south side of town has produced more D1 talent than the north side. Goodnight.

Not sure you could back up more D1 athletes statement with facts. In all sports, North does pretty well for athletes in college. Nonetheless, since almost none are making a living playing sports, character is of higher importance. Goodnight. Lol.

No guidelines could create an extensive list - I'm going to list some who didn't make it 4 years which should probably be a requirement to be on such a list. Essentially a very Terre Haute pissing contest and we will never have a complete list but here is a start:

Evan Pettit Baseball Murry State
Travis Smith Golf Ball State
Thomas Goss Golf Dayton
Kristy Twitchell Cross/Track ISU
Jimmy Smith Basketball ISU

All of the above from one small south side neighborhood.

I had over 10 D-1 baseball players on a single high school baseball team at North. So this list could be enormous. Maybe the most D-1 talent on a single team in TH history? And just think we never won a sectional.

Yeah, I'm not really interested in compiling a list for each school that's why I said not sure you could really support South has more D1 athletes than North with facts.

I did immediately think of the mid-2000's North baseball teams with 10+ D1 ball players.

Also, some more recent significant athletes missing are Odum, Gant, Mascari, AJ Reed, TJ Collett, Phegley and Kylie Hutson.

Obviously we could go on and on for both sides.
 
Just because I was trying to count them to make sure I was accurate here was the 03' team for THN

Blake Holler- Stanford
Chris Macke- Ohio State
Andrew Strange- Indiana State
John Phegley- Purdue
Max Hutson- Wichita State
Chris Lindley- Indiana State
John Cummins- Purdue
Ryan Nevill- Dayton
Josh Phegley- Indiana
Nick Ciolli- Indiana State
Skyler Pearson-Indiana State

Actually it's always interested me so I compiled what I knew but about the extent of the research. Had I really cared one way or another I wouldn't have gone to the trouble of including North athletes. Clearly.

Plus the thread is junk anyway so might as well get some use out of the white space.
 
I like it. Thank you Twitch. But my guess is you are correct about South having more D-1 talent in basketball. As far as the other sports go I'm sure it would be closer than you'd think.
 
Moved this discussion (because it is worthy) to its own thread so 1) we can quit giving that kid and IUPUI free advertising and 2) people that want to continue the discussion can do so.
 
Some other local kids I remember playing D1 sports that I can recall that haven't been mentioned:

THS:
Frank Smith -- think he played football at IU, no?
Reicina Russell - She left for her LN for her senior season, but I'd consider her a Brave

THN:
Steve Englehart - ISU FB
Jamie Petrowski - ISU FB

There were a ton of North and South kids to play ISU FB throughout the years not mentioned. Rocky Nease, Ryan Ralston, Ben Tomkins, etc.

Chaz Spicer is part of the LN/Indianapolis basketball scene via Terre Haute South who played D1 as he played at Utah State

I should probably/maybe list my brother-in-law Matt Seliger, THN, Football, ISU
