just watched that golden tate video and man is he fast. only problem i see is that he carries the ball on the wrong side. someone needs to correct that quickly...........

This is why I not a big fan of Tom, I live in the same city as John Clay and watched him play a few times this year. Yes he is huge and he is pretty good but the teams he played against were horrible. This year Park High wasn't that good and Clay did not do anything special. Wasn't even player of the year in the city. I have heard from numerous people around town that Clay has put on close to 20 pounds and is very lazy. It was being talked about for awhile that he couldnt even play at Wis. Whitewater. He is always hurt, ankle, and he is lazy but he does have potential. But, for Tom to have him in his top ten is just a joke.

Fox, where in WI? Kenosha or Racine?

Thanks for the info. irishfox.

 

Ya jf, Tate's films are really impressive. I really didn't notice that, but of course it's not too hard to correct. I know a lot of services knock his level of competition, and maybe it isn't the best in the country, but his 4.4 speed will allow him to run with anyone, and the kind of moves that Tate has can be used on the best competition in the country with success. At only 6', he looks a lot taller and longer when he runs. Can't wait to see him at WR!!

Racine.

does anyone know when rivals is going to come out with their final rankings?

Fox, did you see Kevin Barry place for Park too...in 1997???

I played for Tremper 1997 & 1998.

final rivals on the 17th

final rivals on the 17th

sweet. justin trattou better be in the top 100 after the season and practices he had at the AA bowl. also i wonder if neal will get 4-stars, will kamara and romine get 5-stars, will gary gray get his 5-stars back?

it's great to see harrison smith in at #89.

All good questions russ, can't wait to see how it all pans out. Idk what I'd be more upset at, Neal not getting 4 stars, or Trattou not cracking the top 100. I think those two deserve big jumps in the rankings the most. Although I think Kamara is 5* player, he's already in the top 100 and is the 5th best WR in the country (IMO he is a lot better than Tolliver)

Rizz, I did see Kevin Berry play. I was a freshman in high school when he was a senior. I had a few friends on that team so I would go and watch them. He was a damn good player in high school, not really sure why no one really looked at him hard.

Rizz, did you played against Tony Romo while at Tremper? That kid is an all around athlete. His best sport could be golf if he played all the time. I was next to him on the driving range last year and he was just hitting drives 275+ with ease.

 

Back to the subject of this top 100, I think a lot of ND players are going to rise up in the rankings. Esp. Justin Trat and GG. They both seemed to have great weeks at the AA game. GG played very well against the deep ball.

Trattou should be a 5 star. He's a top 3 DE judging from the AA game and practices. He is a 5 star on Scout at least. Not being in the top 100 on Rivals is ridiculous. Plus he had 4 sacks in the state championship game against a good team.
