Limited space prevented me from listing everyone, but we know there are really good players at those schools, too. We'll have a 2014 watch list next week.

Mr. Lancer exposure come in two part what the kid and his parents do in his under class years and what the coach do in the off season, for as camps , combines 7 on 7 college visit . Players and parent can't depend on coaches to get them in college most coaches are going to help the kids that most readly or most reccuited . Get your child or players involved in as many events as posible camps , college visit 7 on 7 est.

Do not sleep on Dwyer's Clint Stephens -he's a Roscoe Parrish clone.
Travis Ruldolph is as talented as they come-he locked up the best receiver in the state in Stacy Coley in last summer 7 on 7's-
Johnny Dixon is as elusive as they come with that sensational track speed-He would look good as a Miami Hurricane-
Mark Kelly an absolute stud who plays with great leverage-Georgia is the team to beat.
