When you were in high school? who did you know for a fact was going to be a stud at the next level. My junior year of high school, we played Midland-Lee in Texas in state-semis and I watched Cedric Benson play, and knew that he was going to be a man among boys even in college. He had everything you wanted in a rb, size, vision, speed, strength...everything.

Who you seen?

Chuck Wiley from Southern Lab was good. When I was younger I got to see Todd Kintchen play at Trafton. He was crazy good.

i would actually say one of my best friend Ahmad Bradshaw (RB for the giants), he was a beast in high school in every sport he played and he basically carried Marshall for the three years he was there, and then he played a big part in the giants post season run for the title, and i dont think it could happen to a better dude, GEAUX G-MEN!!

Ed Reed, without a doubt! This dude could do anything. Began playing baseball in high school and wasn't bad. He was a man amongst boys in high school, college and to some extent in the pros.

Saw Peyton, no doubt

Played against Eli, wooped dat arse in highschool, but wasn't sold on him at that point.

Saw Brandon Jacobs, kid was a beast

Saw Ryan Perriloux, wasn't blown away, but he has potentail around a good players

Saw Rondell Mealey

Saw Joe Mcknight, kid will be a star, and yes Top talent in Nation turning down the top team this decade pisses me off.


baseball:
Jeff Winchester: Kid was a monster, went to Pro's and never heard from him.

I played Jr. High basketball on the same team as Pete Maravich in South Carolina in the late 1950's. It was pretty obvious he would go far, even then.
