But where your comments are a little off is with regards to Gary Gray. Gray is nowhere near as good as you say he is. In fact, many of us here at BP feel he is one of the more overrated players in the country.

I'm a big fan of Gray's. Thought he did well in the AA game. Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I think Dionte Allen is also ready to play. Those guys are probably the three most ready corners to play in this class IMO.
RoJo will have an adjustment period in college if he plays CB. Like most other HS corners the coverages in college will be on another level. Another thing about RoJo though is that he played alot of FS in HS and when he did play CB he played straight-man and very little if any zone. RoJo was able to man-up and out-athlete just about every kid he faced in West Michigan. He won't be able to do that out of the gate in college.

Warren can cover, but does he have the overall size to come up and stop rb's in the big ten like Beanie Wells and guys like that...
Also some of the bigger receivers will be able to get seperation based on size...
As for Gray he is a borderline 4 star IMO...

Gary Gray is ready to play? Wow. I will just assume you are basing that off of articles and never seeing him in person.
He might play at ND due to their pathetic defense...but he is not close to "ready" for any top tier school.

I'll guess that there aren't many others that will. I hate to keep sounding like a broken record, but the college game is a lot harder than it looks on t.v., or a video game, regardless of position. Very few players just show up and be wonderful. |

Michael Williams, reminds me of leon hall has great cover skills and hits like a linebacker. Just like Warren he can come in and compete for pt, he would a great nickleback. Warren was excellent against Toliver in the AA game, rivals says he is great against big receviers. Tackling ability may need some work.
Go Blue!
