@LZIp, I appreciate the compliment, but I'm no expert. Lol. I guess I just spend a little more time following some of the top local players than most.
We missed on a really good LB from Barberton. His name is Keye Thompson (6-1, 210). He's a do everything player, kind reminds me of Julius Peppers. He's going to OU.
William Collier is another player from East who is really good. I'd say he's 5-10, 200. He was the excellent backup RB to Todd Sibley at Hoban last year. Earlier this year I mentioned that I thought East RB Devanier Floyd had a good shot at being Ohio's Mr. Football. Well, Devanier is still the starting RB at East, but with Will transferring in, he also gets quite a few carries, so Davanier's numbers are more watered down this year than I thought they would be. Will is also a really good safety. Great all-around player.
Two players from East to look for next year are...
Kyre Williams, a 5-11, 180 Safety/Corner/WR. He's an athletic, quick, fast, slippery, athlete who East sometimes lines up @ the wildcat on O.
Dearius Reese, 6-2, 275 DL. This guys excellent. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on landing him.
McKinley's got a junior QB named Elijah Curtis who's been putting up impressive numbers, but he's only 5'9", so it's extremely unlikely we're looking at him for QB. 5'9" QB's who can play at the D-1 level are 1-in-a-million. He'd have to be the next coming of Drew Brees or Russell Wilson.
I also like Jackson's QB, Jarret Polotta (sp?). He's got great size at 6'5" & can really throw the ball. Unfortunately he's verbally committed to UMass.
