The OL thread got me thinking. Who are the best Dade prospects at every position, all time?
I’m not talking about results of how they did in college and the pros but more who are the highest rated Dade high school prospects ever?

Might as well do Broward as well

I can’t even imagine the sweepstakes sean Taylor’s recruitment would be if he was in high school now

Andre Johnson and Sean Taylor are 1A and 1B for me as the most complete, sure-fire, born-to-be-legend prospects.

Prototype height/weight/speed/coordination. Production. No injuries. Both were just absolute can't miss.

Frank Gore is up there with Adrian Peterson as the 2 best HS backs in the last 30 years that I've seen (obviously only saw Gore on film). He was electrifying. I would put him a notch behind Dre and ST because his physical characteristics were - still very good - not elite best of the best.

Position by position? I'll take a crack at it.
QB - Bridgewater
RB - Gore/Mcgahee
WR - Dre
OL - VC. While his NFL career hasn't quite gone as planned, Flowers had every measurable you could want, too.
DL - Not sure on this one. I can't think of any can't miss freakazoids. I really liked Ricky Jean Francois
LB - Jones/WW. I knew Nate Webster was going to be great in CFB but obviously he didn't have elite measurements.
DB - ST. Kenny Phillips was absolute can't miss. Antrel Rolle, too. All total package type kids.
 
thought he was a 4 star. That said, his running stats were on par with a 5 star.

Only really got significant interest from Miami (mainly because Buck was on their radar), Clemson and Iowa State. I don’t think UF or FSU offered.

Went to the Ridge with Lamont, the Davis boys and Sedrick (before he was bought out by Miami High) - but, i think Danyell Ferguson belongs on this list also.
