I see kids that have very high rankings but they don't play like it. then I see no name kids that can really play. what's up with that?
who ranks these high school kids?

- Start date
Damn son, the experts rank them, commonly refered to as "they." And they always get it right.
here is a name for you. CB Raheem Layne. he plays at Sebastian river. from looking at him and the kid from American Herritage. Layne is bigger, more physical and they are about the same speed. but the Layne kid doesn't have any offers or stars by his name. why could that be? from what they were saying in the stands. school, grades and test score isn't a issue. raheem layne hudl
Truth, I'll try and get up with him or his coach and see if he has any offers and try to get him a Rivals profile. I see there is a Rivals profile for him but it looks incorrect. Is this the one you're talking about?
Sorry but Nu'Trelle disagree with SK 100% on this one. Great players slip thru the cracks all the time and they no excuse for it! When he were a senior, Wavebb - a special team specialist - never got one offer. He was a holder on punts.
Routinely got the $hit kicked out him ... and got no credit whatsoever.
Yeah that's what I have heard a lot. That guy Pettis is relentless when it comes to his kids. Wish r could have played fit more than one year with Pettis.
Thanks, moderators! I knew you guys would come through for him.
Be sure to have the family look at D-2 and NAIA schools in Florida. There are more opportunities than just D-1.
The Big 3 Florida often miss some of the best talent no matter how many stars they have. Just look at the rosters of every other SEC school, Louisville, and a few others. All are loaded with Florida talent.

Last year I saw a walk on WR for Clemson abuse a 5 star corner for Alabama. Those rankings don't take in coachability.
Thats the issue, they can't get around to see what's out there during the season. As an example, Tarpon DaVonte Price (go to Max prep to see highlights, worth it), Rivals has him listed as a no star LB. He's a pretty damn impressive 6'2" 190lb Running Back and KO return guy. He's a big reason the Tarps have had four running clocks in four games (including Pre-season) against teams that are a combined 9-2 without the loses Charlotte put on them.
Price returned a 75 yd KO against a very fast North Miami Team and has had three 70+yd rushes (a couple of 35-50s also) in three regular season games. Last week his 84 yard run made NBC-2 Play of the Week ahead of North FM's FSU bound Zaquandre White. He's not even our feature back (Maleek Williams is, a 235lb load heading for Arkansas).
Tarps also have a Soph left OT that is going to be a good one, and one of the best 10th grade kickers you'll find anywhere.

Every player on the Orlando Sentinel Super 60 should be added. I do not have the admin accessibility to add players otherwise up to 100 more would be listed.
naw I wouldn't say that either. there are players on their that aren't that talented.
You are wrong. There are players on the watch list that are talented and CFla is so deep that its hard to do 60.
You can't name a player obviously but I don't see who you are speaking of.

That is exactly what I said - but you implied exactly that when you took a shot at the 60 on the list. Chris Hays does an excellent job.
I know a few kids on your 60 list that there is know way that you looked at how they played. a lot of them aren't even best on their teams. but they in the top 60 in CFL
if your a 4-5 star safety or lb you should never shy away from contact or only show up against lesser talent. but I see to many on this list. 1 is to many in my opinion but there is more.
Make up what you think is a better list and put it on here. Problem solved. No b--tchin and moanin need be involve about the other guy doin it wrong, comprende?
It's a list man. Every so called "expert" on the Internet makes them up. There are thousands of them. Very few rational adults allow themselves to worry about any of it.
So take a few deep breaths, dude. Life will go on. Now, THAT'S THE TRUTH.

If you can shoot me a list of players and their offers I can at least make them a profile. I have ZERO pull as far as rankings and stars and all that, but I can at least make the kids a Rivals profile if they have at least a FAMU level offer.
I think the rankings is more speculation that proven talent. IMG's QB is the top ranked dual QB in the nation. I've seen plenty guys at the high school level this year that can run and throw better than him.
I spoke to coach Pettis and he told me that a few schools are close to offering him and he will keep me posted. He didn't say which schools but when he let's me know I'll let y'all know.
I concur Fla2014. The current FSU freshman QB ( also from IMG ) was also rated the #1 dual threat coming out of high school a couple season ago from several rating services. The young man has a tremendous upside and is a fine runner, but in no way does his running ability stand above a dozen or so current young QB's in college. IMO Jamis was a more dangerous player with his legs on the field.....maybe off the field too

I think Dual Threat means the combination of passing and running ability at the time of evaluation, not just the fact that a QB is an elite runner but not so much as a passer. If that were the case Lamar Jackson would have been #1.
I agree boss. Just giving an opinion. And you know what they say about them. Peace

Oh yeah, I get what you're saying tho, Francois definitely wasn't the best runner in the state that year. Hell, you could make the case that DeAndre Johnson was the best dual threat, he won Mr. Football after all.

Just so y'all understand what Dan just said... Deandre Francois came out the same year as Lamar Jackson.... But was rated as the #1 Dual Threat QB...
I hate to say it but this is one of those situations where a certain "type" of QB was labeled dual threat when in fact they are a Pocket Passer... Jameis was also labeled a Dual threat out of high school...
Amazing. Rarely does you see a QB who can play defensive tackle.
Not sure bout that, but Nu'Trelle saw him run a 70-80 yd QB sneak and then go back and try to help the injured 190-200 lb. Armwood defender who he'd run over near mid-field. Looked like a triple axle dump truck hittin a Fiat.
Preach y'all!!!!! Amen
that's great to hear. that kid stands out on the field.
