It seems like a SEC influence that values skilled players rather than tight ends, o-linemen, and defensive tackles. I could be wrong, but you are sadly seeing that influence reflected in who is considered top high school prospects. Tennessee has a lot of great players in those "other" positions with tons of college potential as well. But here's my question, how do you figure guys who only have 1 offer are the state's top prospects? I would think top "prospects" have several offers which would reflect that they are wanted by several schools. But that's just my logic I guess?

Last year, the top ranked player was Brandon Warren a TE, and the #2 was OL Jacques McClendon. So I don't believe it's a bias to skill players. Also, on Rivals rankings they have 5 DE's in the top 20 including 2 in the top 4.

Rashad Mason is being courted now by the likes of LSU, UCLA, Tennessee, North Carolina, Michigan, & Louisville. He had a great senior season at Pearl-Cohn as both a DB/WR and was a main reason for the Firebirds success in the playoffs over Polk Co., White House, & Sycamore.

 

A 6'6 225lbs. kid who can run 4.4 with that much athleticism is rare. He reminds me of a young version of Calvin Johnson (GT's unstoppable receiver the last couple of years).

even if a player has one offer that doesnt mean he is not a top player. i know at least mark fisher should be on here. this not an all state team. all state teams take players from top teams and doesnt even really consider people from bad teams. this is individual talent, no favorites. everyone is deserving thats on this list.

i think that todd campbell wr from franklin is over rated very good or he wouldnt have been offerd by ut but i played aginst him this past year and i didnt what i would expect out of a top 10 prospect 3rd overall reciver i didnt even think he was the teams best player i thought lb/fb #4 i think his name is frohock or something like that that kid can play he is a little under sized for a D1 lb but i wouldnt be surprised if he makes a name for hi self at a small D1 school like mtsu or a western kentucky or smething like that

    • You are so correct!  It’s really 99.9% of academia want to change to way that education is not only taught but the way it is viewed.  The pendulum has definitely swung as far to the left as possible and eventually will swing to the right much too far.  I have always  said that politics and one’s personal religious views need to stay out of education,  but for the last 40 years education has been running full throttle to what we have today.  If the social experiment that we are currently experiencing continues it is only a matter of time before the public school system in the USA completely collapses and all kids attend private schools or even worse don’t go to school.
    • He was a bruise but Aaron Dykes is HVA’s best RB ever.
    • I am talking about what they both did for their team. They both carried their team for four years while they were both there. I wasn’t really comparing them that would be unfair. Bishop is on a level of his own.
    • Dorian Eskridge had a great Junior year, highlighted by a great game to lead HVA to an upset win at OR that year. I think that was 2010. In 2011 OR won at HVA. OR had a real good QB that year l think. Dorian Eskridge had a great senior year also. He always played hard from the DCM videos l saw.
    • It seems we lost a ton to graduation. We shall see how it shapes up for 2024.
