Scout has BobL, Greg Powers, and the guys from the ohiostate scout board...

I agree with this wholeheartedly...isn't Stever Hare primarily in charge of Ohio and the midwest? I'm not a mod but Terrelle doesn't effect the '09 recruiting rankings, so that would be best served in either the '08 rankings or the 2008 season discussions on our current team.

Don't get me wrong he looks like a very good back, but not 5 star type player IMO from watching the film...I would have him as number 5 player in the state of Michigan behind Campbell, Jackson, Sims, and Caper...

A friend of mine ranked the Michigan players like this...
Quote:
Elite Prospects
1. DT William Campbell, Detroit Cass Tech High School (Michigan Verbal)

4. LB Chris Norman, Detroit Renaissance High School (Michigan State Verbal)
5. RB Larry Caper, Battle Creek Central High School (Michigan State Verbal)
6. TE Dion Sims, Orchard Lake St. Mary's High School
Very, Very Good Prospects
7. QB Andrew Maxwell, Midland High School (Michigan State Verbal)
8. WR Cameron Gordon, Inkster High School
9. WR Donald Spencer, Ypsilanti High School (Michigan State Verbal)
10. TE Reid Fragel, Gross Pointe South High School

If you want to go by offers, Norman, Jackson, and Baker are the top 3 in the state.
