Another Day, Another Top-100 Poll
If the arrival of those sleek college football preseason magazines on the shelves of your local supermarket didn't adequately provide your June football fix, maybe some prep recruiting rankings will.
There are dozens online from which to choose, the latest being from rivals.com, which is fairly generous in its assessment of some local talent.
Five Hillsborough County players are on the Web site's list of the top 100 senior prospects from Florida. Leading the local contingent are two Armwood standouts: left tackle Matt Patchan (No. 6) and tailback Eric Smith (No. 27). Both are deemed four-star candidates on a scale of one to five stars.
Other locals on the list are Hillsborough defensive tackle (and recent Middleton transfer) Moses McCray (No. 29, four stars), Riverview running back Jahleel Addae (No. 93, three stars) and Chamberlain receiver Fred Sykes (No. 98, three stars).
The St. Petersburg Times High School Sports blog is written and compiled by the Times preps sports staff from Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco and Hernando counties. We invite your participation in the comments area.
So What! So they might go to college and play ball. why do you keep on giving Patchens press? It is not even football season yet.
