The fact that this thread is on page 3 without any mention of Jordan Meisner is disappointing

E.J Manuel started the end of the season after Ponder went down. He played like Jefferson is supposed to play. He one the bolw game against WVU.

Bowers is better than Kennard IMO.

+1

I like the early Evan Points at Him call. Willie Williams goes without saying.

1. Patrick Johnson
2. Ronald Powell
3. Noel Devine
4. Tom Wort
5. Russell Shepard

Honorable Mention: Devon Kennard

If Kennard hadn't torn his ACL for his senior season, he would have been the consensus #1 player in the country. His junior film and his camp performances in the summer were some of the most dominant of all time.

Thats fine, Mike Mayock, but it's my personal decision. Kennard suffered an injury his Senior season that set him back a bit.

No Eric Berry or Percy Harvin? Those two and Patrick Johnson are among my top guys, very tough to choose five though. I really liked Ray-Ray Armstrong last year too

Agreed on the Kennard note. He has the best Junior defensive line film Ive ever seen.

Tom Wort is my sleeper.

His highlight reel was absurd with the lay-you-on-your-arse hits.

King Kong in Pads is the best nickname for a recruit ever though.

Where's Eli? Mark Sanchez? Jimmy Clausen? These, and any other recruits that ESPN drooled over are my LEAST favorite recruits. The only reason I didn't include Peyton was that I'm not sure that he hadn't already graduated before Rivals started. BTW, I LOATHE ELI and PEYTON!
