Would be nice to put your list side by side, or your rankings in parenthesis, for comparison's sake.

For clarification, DMoney's list was based on how the players project for the college game. Is Blu's based on the same or just on high school production/who is better right now?
 
Who cares what his list is based on? He's clueless. Why anybody would respect his evaluations on football players is beyond me.

There's a difference between following high school football and actually knowing what you're looking at. He's nothing more than a fan like everybody else, he just has a title.

That list is terrible.

Blustein is a pioneer but I disagree with a lot of his rankings/analysis. He has known some of these kids since Pop Warner, and I think that creates a natural bias. Valentine and Demetrius Jackson are way too low, and IMO it's because they came on the scene later.

Ismael is a great go-up-and-get-it receiver, but he's kind of a one-trick pony. No twitch or quickness. Yeargin is a "looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane" guy, and JoJo is too high. Those would be my major complaints.
