He runs left and right with great ease, but when he wants to throw the football, he can really hum it in there. He has over 20 offers to play quarterback and I think that he can. He already has offers from Clemson, Florida State, Ohio State, Alabama, and Auburn,<o =""></o>

He was selected to the St Louis All-Metro Team as a junior along with being the only junior selection to the 6A All-State Team. I think that he can punt and kick at the next level.

Kicker - Kyle Peterson^ 6-4, 190, 4.8, West Covina South Hills, CA - Peterson is an exceptional punter and kicker and he could play either or both position at the next level.

(2006 All-Star Bowl Game)

Emfinger is such a joke to me...........i think LITERALLY, but if not, atleast almost literally, half of his list or more is comprised of TX and Louisiana players.................one list had like 6 of his top 10 DT's from Louisiana.........i don't put any stock into his rankings based on his regional bias........one list i counted had like 50 players from Louisiana and about 25 from Florida and Cali combined.............i didn't bother counting this one, and i don't know if the list i'm referring to was a pre-season or post season list

IIRC he had MoC listed as a FB coming out of HS as well.

which shows how much of a joke he is...

I think this has been brought up a few times, but it is nearly impossible for a national guy to really have a good opinion of all these players... jsut too many players videos to watch and you really need to see them live to get a great opinion of them..

I'll just trust our coaches :)

Almost every single recruiting "expert" had MoC listed as a FB so if he is a joke, every other recruiting service is too. Alot of his players are from Texas and Louisiana because HE is from there and sees those kids ALOT.

I'm not so sure that nearly all the services had him listed at a FB, but many indeed did. As for Maxipad listing a buttload of TX/LA players solely because he gets to see them more often, then why even call it a national list?

The only thing I can think of as an answer for that is because he owns his own website. I know that doesn't make it a "national recruiting" website, but how many people do you think would actually subscribe to a recruting website about Lousiana and Texas? Probably not nearly as many as now.

In all fairness this is the most unbiased list I have ever seen done by Emfinger. IMO he gives more fair play to the rest of the nation than he normally does.

I have not posted the Honorable Mention part of the list as it is cumbersome to post b/c it inserts smilies etc....

He has a few names of interest on that list as well...

I am not going to bash this list as it looks like it took weeks and weeks to compile.
