New England is a powerhouse when it comes to producing Division 1 talent. A lot of that talent is concentrated in two states: Connecticut and Massachusetts.
While the latter is the beast most are familiar with, the former is a talent factory of a different sort.
With a number of top-level public and private schools throughout the state, Connecticut is one of the most stacked regions in the country.
It’s also the only place where you can root for the Red Sox and the Jets without catching looks. Connecticut is a state of sports-related contradictions.
