I've seen film on all these kids, seen plenty of them in person. I also like to rank kids who are committed to teams that really need them in the position they are ear marked to play. For instance a kid like Gary Gray will probably see the field right away for South Carolina, so he has a better chance at making an instance impact on his team rather than a kid like Eric Berry who needs to learn his position. Also a kid like Keith Nichol is ranked higher than a John Brantley because Nichol will see the field quicker and has comparable talent. (obviously not fool proof but I did my best for a guy who's just goofing around.)

for the sake of another opinion here's my list:
  1. Marvin Austin DT
  2. Josh Oglesby OT

I think you switched up Dwight Jones and Terrance Tolliver and you mixed up Marc Tyler and Caleb King. Must of just been typos.:biggrin:

Also Allen Bailey is a little too low.

And I second Wad's list, but I would like to add a little side of #89. :biggrin:

Honestly, I was thinking the same thing of #89. According to the Rivals Top100, he might be the most athletic kid this year. I would love to grab him and have a chance with his little brother. UF or anyone else, do we have a good shot with this kid?

The Bucks have had zero success in Maryland/DC recently (Stan White, Jr. and Shawn Springs don't count, as they were legacies). They got close the last two years with Rico McCoy and A.J. Wallace. Will this be the year and will Haden be the guy....? Don't bet on it.

I figured this would be the case. I was hoping there was something behind the scenes that some of us didnt know. Guess that's not the case. Would really love to land this kid though.

WR: Aaron Johnson
TE: Brian Linthicum
OL: Evan Blankenship, Nick Schepis

DT: Antonio Jeremiah
LB: I am at a loss here. Would Brandon Lindsey and a MLB.
CB: Donnie Evege, Devon Torrence
S: Nate Oliver, Carlton Peake
