Scout Midwest Top 100

[wadc45]

First reactions:

1. Aaron Brown at #9? Just based on his offer list I would think he would be higher...at least above Ballard and Tilley.

2. Homan at #12 is a slightly pleasant surprise. No doubt he is talented...glad to see him getting some respect.

3. I know there are those that are probably tired of hearing me say this, but Adam Weber at #59 is nothing short of a crime.

4. Glad to see guys like Meenan, Mapp, Lauer, Burris and Alford making the list.

5. Jerome Jones should be higher than #87 in my book...he could be an exciting TE pick up for someone.

[Honor&Glory]

Congrats to the three players from Colerain on this list. That is quite an honor for them, the Colerain program and the Colerain community!


Regarding Brown:

I have said from day one that Smith as a MUCH better football player then Brown...yes, Brown is freakishly big and agile...but Smith is no push over either in terms of size and he plays OL with a nasty attitude...something that I have never seen in Brown...Terrill Byrd, who is going to UC to play, embarrassed Brown in a September game at Colerain last year...heck, the whole Colerain front 7 was in the Princeton huddle the whole game...While Connor was pancaking his way through the likes of Antwon Height on the way to the state title.

Don't take this the wrong way, please. I like Brown. He seems like a good kid and is very smart. I am just saying that sometimes you have to look at how a kid actually plays football and not just his size and agility...if all people that size could play football would the WWF/WWE even exist?

 

[gobucks19]

First reactions:

1. Aaron Brown at #9? Just based on his offer list I would think he would be higher...at least above Ballard and Tilley.

That is my initial reaction as well. I know everyone likes Ballard's versatility so I will give him that but putting Tilley higher doesnt make sense. Brown has more offers than him. Maybe they havent seen enough tape.

2. Homan at #12 is a slightly pleasant surprise. No doubt he is talented...glad to see him getting some respect.

This guy has STUD written all over him. He looks to have gotten stronger and faster since last year. Look at the latest pictures of him on BN from last weekends camp.


Man, look at all the OH guys on there: 8 of the top10 and 16 of the top25. This is a loaded class.

I still think Coleman should be higher. The guy is a pure athlete that could play 3 different positions at the next level - CB, S or WR. Those types of players dont come around every day. Watching his videos on DEF it seems like he knows what the play is before it happens and also knows where the ballcarrier is going next. Couple that with his size/speed combo and we have a bigger version of Donte Whitner on our hands. He isnt too shabby on OFF either.

I thought it was interesting to see Hartline as the 4th best QB, behind Davis. There was talk early on that he might be top5 in the country. I wonder what everyone's concern is, I assume the frame.

 

[BB73]

5 guys from Glenville on the list, that's impressive for 1 high school. Coach Ginn is really doing great things for those guys.

 

[BuckeyeSoldier]

are we EXPECTING to land 9 of the top 12 players in the midwest??? thats pretty damn impressive if i do say so.

 

[wadc45]

C.A.P.E

Boo-yah!

Just kidding...

H&G...I was not saying Brown should have been ahead of your beloved Colerain monster, or even ahead of Boren for that matter. But having watched ample amounts of film of most of the guys in the top 25 from Ohio, I would have put Brown at least ahead of Tilley based on potential, frame and footwork. I think he has more upside than Ballard as well, although I am very glad to see Jake get some respect as well. I probably would ahve had Brown at #6 and slid the other guys back a spot. But that is purely my opinion...

Even Duane Long has Brown ahead of Gibson, Tilley and Ballard. I still think Smith is the top OL in the state, and Boren and Brown are right there at 2 and 2A...

 

[BuckeyeBiz]

Ohio absolutely dominated that entire list. One thing I noticed is the lack of prospects in Iowa and Michigan. Neither are not regular power-houses but they seem to really low this year. Indiana has much more talent this year.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Anyone who doesn't think Ohio cranks out talent as well as any other state needs to look at that list.

10 of the top 12 are from Ohio.
13 of the top 20 are from Ohio.
18 of the top 30 are from Ohio.
21 of the top 40 are from Ohio.
27 of the top 50 are from Ohio.

Absolutely mind boggling...

 

[ShakerBuck]

Brandon Graham is listed as soft verbal to scUM any chance he changes his mind? I don't think we were ever in the running for his services but a change of heart to another school would still be nice.

#19 for cobrani nixon. I knew he was underrated by Duane do to his injury last year, but this is a very solid ranking. has he officially committed to scUM yet?

 

[TheStoicPaisano]

Here's the full breakdown by state:

50 from Ohio
19 from Illinois
11 from Indiana
10 from Michigan
6 from Minnesota
3 from Wisconsin
1 from Iowa

Mindboggling is certainly an apt description.

Brandon is about as solid of a soft verbal as you will find. I highly doubt Michigan loses him.

Mixon has not officially given his verbal committment, instead opting to see a few other schools, but the latest update from Rivals states that Michigan is still comfortably in the lead for his services. He is also theirs to lose.

 

[NightmaresDad]

At this point, I would say 8 of the top 12. and maybe 10 of the top 16.

As long as the state of Ohio stays this dominant in the midwest, we are in for many good recruiting years.

 

[Taosman]

We have only 19 schollies! A lot of Ohio's talent will end up out of state! Darn shame! Bad luck!

Yeah, too bad we can't use 50 scholarships to get all the Ohio kids on the list. Sheesh, no wonder you have your rep turned off...

 

[BIATCHabutuka]

what i found suprising was the lack of illinois guys at the top.

the illinois class is much like susan Z, bottom heavy.
