[pcitycane]

Fred Rause.

Bert Reed.

 

[swdp12]

Frank Gore

Unfortunately, I have to say 2nd is Lamarcus Joyner. Really impressive.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

I can tell you the best I played against: Lester Williams and Freddie Miles.

Where and when did you play?

Beach High, '78 grad. We only played CC in 1977 in a jamboree at Miami Dade North. Williams was something to watch. Luckily, I played defense. We got out of the quarter, 0-0. They won states that year. Unbelievably talented and fast.

I've heard stories about Freddie Miles. Me & Ty's moms went to Springs with him. The older guys from my neighborhood swear he's greatest ever. Willis is also from the area and they used to say he couldn't hold Miles jockstrap...

D.J. Williams

 

[RattlerCane305]

Frank Gore on offense, Willie Williams on defense...

 

[brock]

Alvin Kamara

 

[CalCane]

Leroy Butler and Emmitt Smith. By the time both were 9th graders they dominated anyone on the field.

Ty Law.

DJ Shockley

The Mad Stork. You have to be old to have seen him but dang he was wrecking crew. You had to run at him, which was a bad option, because you just could not run away from him. If young today, I wonder if he would be TE. Back in his day TEs were mostly blockers.

Played against Sammy Watkins twice in high school. Elite amongst elite.

Spenser Tillman, Tulsa Edison. Wayman Tisdale, Tulsa Washington. Our HS basketball team played Tulsa Washington in the State Finals. We had a guy that could dunk. Wayman smashed us. I remember seeing my first alley-oop. Also Mike Gundy.

 

[407cane]

Played against Marquise Williams UNC

 

[Ghostcane]

Freddie Miles

Percy Harvin. Absolute game changer. Man did everything

You from the 757? It’s a lot of talent in that area
