CR has 2 on the list higher than...........nevermind.
smh

 

[Bucsnot]

Fields is a BEAST !!

 

[HSftballlaxFan]

I'm not entirely upset with this. There could be some tweaks. Then again I haven't seen everyone on this list so I could be wrong in my viewpoint as to who belongs where

 

[Titanium Shadow]

Lake Forest and Delmar just played last Friday, so a direct comparison can be made between Delmar's Masyn Lilly and Lake's Kristopher Thompson. And that comparison is not at all favorable to Thompson. Lilly was an order of magnitude better than Thompson in that game.

Wow, an entire order! Could an argument be made for 0.5 or 0.75 order of magnitude? A magnitude factored by 1.25 or 1.5? Just checking...

I'm an engineer, it's how we talk. Colloquially it means way better

Haha, I'm a molecular biologist, and am just teasing you for using that expression on a football forum!

I probably have said that Masyn has the strength of 10 men! Or maybe 1 man^1.5 or something along those lines lol

 

[VoiceofReason247]

Good list

 

[prepfootballstars]

Nothing against the lake kid but everyone on this list is considerably better.

Let’s do tiers

Tier one

Mitch Moyer DE - kid has really stepped his game up this year
Masyn Lilly - DT
Kasim Lewis DE
Eric Samuels DE — I did witness one of if not his best game in person so my judgment may be skewed huge upside for Samuels

Tier two

Logan Bushweller DE
Jermain Brown DT — new to his film but he Has been very productive
Amir Mitchell DT - need more consistency but I like this this kid also
James Yelbert DE
Zach Covington DE

Tier three

EJ Statham DL (only freshman )
Ryan Fields DE
Jermaine Lugo DT

Moyer and Lilly are the clear top two. Both have high production on film at this point in the season. Moyer has played more snaps but I give him the edge

My starting 4

Moyer- SSDE, Brown- DT, Lilly DT, Samuels WSDE

 

[prepfootballstars]

Moyer does a TON for Archmere. I still can't believe a kid that big can move that fast.

He really put some good weight on in the offseason. I know he Closed down his recruiting early by comiting to Columbia. Some bigger schools are interested however he stated his commitment was firm. Last year we evaluated him And felt he needed to get stronger and more technical. The Delaware Military Academy game in particular it showed. However this young man is a work horse and has came on big time. Love when kids buy in to the work.

I love the big uglies... the band of brothers.. That said a good line is not one guy..see Middletown

All these list are a complete waste of time. I’m totally convinced that parents care more about these list (for chest punding purposes), than the kids who are actually on the list! I have yet to see an accurate list at any position. Not taking anything away from any of the boys,some of whom deserve it, but these list are just nothing more than throwing names out and seeing what sticks. Since when do we annoit anybody of anything before the season even ends? Nothing more than click bait!

These are pretty accurate actually and definitely more so then the preseason. Can’t really argue with many of them based on the kids on the list production. One could always use biased opinions to change the order. But I give the man credit he is doing more work on these things. He wants to be accurate. The film does not lie and at least he is taking the time to consider everything available

There are some underclassman on perennial winners. If those kids were on last years or previous years, would those kids even be starting? Which brings me to another question.
Why are there so many underclass men starting at schools here in DE? I don’t remember this many.

A Couple of those kids have been starting varsity since freshman year. And the kid from Smyrna is currently a freshman. Bottom line is if your a dude your a dude. Most Big time Prospects for that matter have been 4 year varsity starters
