Insiders West top 100

Ryan Williams not in the top 100?????

Sanchez at #4, Bemoll at #8, Felder at #20, Trason Bragg (who was at tOSU advanced camp) at #24, R. Peele at #31, Hypolite at #39, Oatis at #40, Kahil Bell at #58 but no Williams??

It sure seems like we are in on more CA kids this year then we have been in under Tress.

Ryan Williams not in the top 100?????

Well, they list only five DEs total in that 100, which covers California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, and Hawaii. Remember how Williams seemed to come out of nowhere for us? To me, it's not all that surprising that they don't list him in the top 100 overall players of that region.

Orlando Sentinel Big list of prospects

Big list of prospects

By Bill Buchalter | Sentinel Staff Writer
Posted July 11, 2004

It's time to turn off the projector, and make some early recruiting decisions.

Summer camps give players an opportunity to showcase their skills, and college coaches can see up close and personal what they missed on film or video. With that in mind, it's time to pick Florida's top prospects at each position.

There are several things to remember:

The selections are just an opinion, a starting point, a subject for friendly debate. They will change throughout the season.

This is not a top 100-list; instead, this is a look at the 10 best players at each position. Some positions are much deeper than others. As an example: There are many more defensive backs than quarterbacks who will sign Division I-A scholarships.

Expect 300 or so Floridians to sign with Division I-A schools and another 250 to 275 to sign with I-AA schools. So that means a number of good players aren't on this list.

The positions are listed strongest to weakest.

Rankings: Top Florida football prospects by position

Defensive backs

This is why so many colleges head to Florida to recruit. This state annually produces great skilled athletes, many of whom will be playing defensive back this fall. This is the top position for prospects in the state this season, and as many as 50 defensive backs could sign with I-A schools in February. Player School Ht. / Wt.
1. Kenneth Phillips Miami Carol City 6-2 / 190
2. Avery Atkins Mainland 5-11 / 185
3. Demetrice Morley Miami Killian 6-0 / 175
4. Dorian Munroe Miami Coral Reef 6-1 / 175
5. Chris Chancellor Miami Edison 5-9 / 160
6. Bryan Evans Jacksonville Ed White 6-0 /175
7. Paul O'Hara Cross City Dixie Co. 5-11 / 205
8. R.J. Anderson Seffner Armwood 5-11 / 165
9. Gerrod Sinclair Jacksonville Mandarin 6-1 / 205
10. Quinton Andrews Miami Pace 6-0 / 185
Running back

Several of the nation's best make this a position to watch. There also are numerous sleepers with good stats, but of variable sizes, which means dissenting opinions. Player School Ht. / wt.
1. Maurice Wells Jacksonville Sandalwood 5-9 / 185
2. Antone Smith Pahokee 5-8 / 180
3. Kalvin Bailey Seffner Armwood 5-11 / 245
4. Conredge Collins Miami Pace 5-11 / 220
5. Amod Ned Pembroke Pines Flanagan 5-9 / 170
6. Briceton Wilson Crawfordville Wakulla Co. 6-1 / 205
7. Roosevelt Ross Ocala Forest 5-10 / 195
8. Glenn Coffee Fort Walton Beach 6-0/ 195
9. Jamelle Eugene Naples 5-10 / 185
10. Dominique Rocker Tavares 6-1 / 210
Offensive line

This is a deeper listing than in previous years. As usual, great size looms, but blocking technique and potential always are difficult to ascertain for linemen. Another dozen who could move into the top 10 lurk behind this bunch. Player School Ht. / wt.
1. Matt Hardrick Edgewater 6-5 / 338
2. Chris Barney Miami Northwestern 6-5 / 330
3. Ronnie Wilson Pompano Beach Ely 6-3 / 330
4. Richard Clark Seabreeze 6-3 / 280
5. Eddie Tabasky Mainland 6-3 / 330
6. Eddie Haupt Merritt Island 6-4 / 285
7. Simon Codrington South Miami 6-6 / 250
8. Cole Harvey Tallahassee Lincoln 6-3 / 255
9. A.J. Trump Clearwater Central Catholic 6-4 / 287
10. Daniel Tolley Wesley Chapel 6-5 / 300
Wide receiver

As usual, there is speed aplenty here and at defensive back. A handful of receivers listed among the state's 200-plus can turn in 100-meter-dash times of sub-11.0 seconds. Rouse is considered one of the nation's 10 best receivers and is the top player in a Lincoln program that annually produces numerous Division I-A signees. Player School Ht. / wt.
1. Fred Rouse Tallahassee Lincoln 6-3 / 185
2. Jessie Hester Jr. Wellington 5-11 / 165
3. O.J. Murdock Tampa Middleton 6-0 / 175
4. Rod Owens Jacksonville Wolfson 6-1 / 170
5. Michael Moore Coconut Creek North Broward Prep 6-2 / 185
6. Eric Sledge Apopka 6-2 / 180
7. Rocky Ross Jacksonville Bolles 6-3 / 185
8. Carlton Sanders Coconut Creek 6-1 /170
9. Woodney Turene Plantation 6-1 /175
10. Roger Frazier Lakeland Lake Gibson 6-1 / 180
Tight end

We have separated these from other receivers because each is being recruited specifically to play tight end, an unusally large listing for this state. Player School Ht. / wt.
1. Richard Gordon Miami Norland 6-4 / 240
2. Brian Ellis Mainland 6-3 / 230
3. Bryant Carpenter Edgewater 6-2 / 220
4. Paul Muse Jacksonville First Coast 6-5 / 245
5. Jammie Kirlew Cypress Creek 6-2 / 215
Linebacker

Lots of Division I-A athletes, up to 50, will play linebacker at a Florida high school this fall. But will they measure up for recruiters when it comes to the tale of the tape? A lack of height will hurt some of these guys. Player School Ht. / wt.
1. Jon Demps Pensacola Washington 6-4 / 220
2. Demetri Stewart Oakland Park Northeast 6-3 / 200
3. Marvin Sapp Jacksonville Sandalwood 6-0 / 215
4. Elijah Hodge Fort Lauderdale Dillard 6-0 / 200
5. D'Angelo Davis Tampa Wharton 6-0 / 235
6. Steve Johnson Plantation 6-0 / 235
7. Sean Hayes Merritt Island 6-0 / 215
8. Quentin Taylor Apopka 6-1 / 205
9. Rapheal Ousley Ft. Walton Beach Choctaw 6-0 / 240
10. Jamar Chaney Port St. Lucie Centennial 6-0 / 215
Defensive ends

While these guys will line up at end in high school, some will move to linebacker in college because of a lack of size. As usual, though, there's a lot of speed at this position. Player School Ht. / wt.
1. Geneath Moffett Palm Bay 6-2 / 220
2. Spencer Adkins Naples 6-0 / 225
3. Eugene Hayes Madison Co. 6-2/ 215
4. Matt Lewis Mainland 6-2 / 245
5. Brendan Deska Olympia 6-4 / 225
6. Kerry Bonds Tallahassee Lincoln 6-3 / 230
7. John Holmes Rockledge 6-2 / 210
8. Dustin Fortson Miami Northwestern 6-1 / 205
9. Ryan Stamper Jacksonville First Coast 6-2 / 215
10. Courtney Harris Jupiter 6-4 / 225
Quarterbacks

This is not a deep position this year, even with the knowledge that some new faces will emerge. Beck already has committed to Nebraska. Player School Ht. / wt.
1. Harrison Beck Clearwater Countryside 6-1 / 205
2. Brett Hodges Winter Springs 6-2 / 180
3. Jonathan Garner Mainland 6-4 / 205
4. Jorge Fernandez Miami Westminster Chr. 6-4 / 195
5. Wayne Campbell Punta Gorda Charlotte Co. 6-5 / 205
6. Alex Thompson Gainesville Buchholz 6-1 / 195
7. Jake Owens Jacksonville Wolfson 6-2 / 210
8. Michael Greco Ft. Lauderdale Gibbons 6-2 / 190
9. Carlton Jackson Pompano Beach Ely 6-2 / 185
10. Herbert Bynes Lauderdale Lakes Boyd Anderson 6-3 / 175
Defensive tackles

This is one of the toughest positions to project this season. Some of those athletic ends will grow into tackles, meaning this grouping definitely is subject to change. Player School Ht. / wt.
1. Jeff Owens Plantation 6-2 / 270
2. Ricky Jean-Francois Miami Carol City 6-3 / 240
3. Lemuel Jeanpierre Timber Creek 6-4 / 255
4. Vladimir Richard Sunrise Piper 6-4 / 250
5. William Moore Havana East Gadsden 6-3 / 265
6. Kendrick Stewart Lakeland 6-2 / 275
7. Brandon Bennington Miami Krop 6-7 / 275
8. John Russell Jacksonville Bolles 6-4 / 245
9. Devin Carter Oak Ridge 6-3 / 300
10. Kevin Dixon Sebring 6-4 / 235
Athletes

Some quarterbacks may emerge from here. For the most part, though, these skilled athletes can play several positions. Player School Ht. / wt.
1. Jarrett Brown Palm Beach Lakes 6-3 / 190
2. Dedrick Davis Auburndale 5-10 / 185
3. Matt Grothe Lakeland Lake Gibson 6-1 / 185
4. Carlton Hill Monticello Jefferson Co. 6-2 / 210
5. Taurus Johnson Cape Coral 6-0 / 185
6. E.J. Biggers North Miami Beach 5-11 / 160
7. Kyle Fowler Lake Brantley 6-1 / 205
8. Theodis Wilson Dunedin 5-9 / 170
9. Dennis Brown Miami Central 6-2 / 180
10. Gavin Grigg Tallahassee Leon 6-1 /235
Finally . . .

Already wondering about next year? Here's a preliminary look at the state's five best juniors:

TE Cas Piurowski, Land O'Lakes, 6-7/235: The son of former FSU LB Paul Piurowski. He also is a top baseball prospect.

OL/DL Corey Hobbs, Oviedo, 6-4/305: Was a dominant two-way talent as sophomore.

DL Reggie Odom, DeLand, 6-2/289: Started since ninth grade and has potential to be school's best ever.

ATH Justin Simpson, Miami Gulliver, 6-2/180: Has the reputation, athleticism and genes (he's O.J.'s son).

WR Brandon Heath, Palm Beach Lakes, 6-0/175: Caught 35 passes and was second-team all-Palm Beach as a sophomore.

I am a little confused and may be you can help me understand this: How did OL Nick Howell, who was ranked ahead of Bemoll by insiders a month ago, now is ranked 33rd in the west and Bemoll 9th?

Nutty posted Rivals West Rankings- they are going to be different then the Insiders West rankings

Although in the case of Bemoll they are pretty similar- As Nutty posted above Rivals has him at #9 in the West while Insiders has him at #8.

Nick Howell is #51 on Insiders- looks like Rivals is giving him more props at #33
