If you can share a minute. Please help me with this, I just need you to copy and paste the list.. having a -, +, -- or ++ on each player. I want to see directly what people think and I would look closer at -- or ++'s.

Or add a player thats not on there and add a range such as 10-20 etc.

[Josh2Blue]

Are we rating them as HS players, as college prospects, or as a combination of the two?

My top ten right now looks like this:
James Ross
-- Amazing combination of LB instincts and athleticism.
Aaron Burbridge
-- One of the top few RAC receivers in the country. People underestimate how athletic he is as a leaper and how well he goes and gets the ball.
Danny O'Brien
-- Puts in strong camp performance after strong camp performance.... often times against some of the nations best
Royce Jenkins-Stone
-- A great athlete who lacks the instincts of Ross.
Ron Thompson
-- Huge athlete who can play WR or TE on the next level...... off the field issues and a school change have hampered his recruitment considerably
Ben Braden
-- Guy who will translate well to the next level at the tackle spot
Dennis Norfleet
-- Can play a big variety of positions, just an above average athlete and football player
Terry Richardson
-- I've grown pretty indifferent towards Cass Tech's seemingly dime-a-dozen tiny cornerbacks, so that may disqualify me from a fair ranking of richardson
Jamal Lyles
-- Ideal LB prospect, has the frame to put on weight but stay at LB.
Matt Godin
-- Fantastic quickness for a guy his size.


For a whole list, I think guys like Juwan Lewis, Cooper Rush, and Kodi Kieler should be higher.
Flopping Jabari Dean and Darryl Goldsmith is something I'd agree with.

Detrick Goff now lives in Mississippi fwiw.

USC Linebacker commit Scott Starr looks like a mega doucher..just like Cushing.

[The D Zone]

Josh2Blue: I would say both but I am thinking more of down the road when I rank. Else you would have many players from schools like SMCC, Saugatuck, Escanaba etc who are wishbone offense and put up crazy numbers rushing the ball but not going to play college football. I like to think I am the Michigan Analyst for rivals lmao so I gotta get something more concrete and something people can go, "that makes sense."

That Preliminary list is not bad but I missed a few but thats why I made that so people could bash it/ Like it and I could improve it.

Also who TF is Eric Wilson just got offered by Toledo, BGSU and West Virginia. He is from Thurston. Talk about an Ultimate sleeper everyone missed on him. Just like Bacci and Hunter Matt but those two are get big offers already.

Heres highlights for him and his brother who was already on my 2012 watchlist of players who did not make the initial top 100.

Kind of tough to know who is who though.

[The D Zone]

This just in: Tony Annese of Rochester Adams commits to central Michigan.

Who is better him or Cooper Rush?

Okay thank you. I think I will be going to an Adams game this year. I made preliminary/tentative schedule. Its the game where they host Harrison late in the season on Thursday Night I think.
