Lots and lots to watch on Monday and I'm 100 percent positive I missed more than a few kids. Here are some of the top WR/RB who caught my eye.
WR Markavian Darough East St Louis- good sized kid has hands and speed.
TE Josh Babicz Barrington- might of been one of the tallest kid at this event (6-foot-6 plus?) who has good size and good speed.
RB Justin Hall HF (soph)- easily tone of the MVP's of this event. Played DB last fall and worked out here at Rb and just wowed all with his speed, hands and overall motor.
RB Xazavian Valladay Brother Rice (soph)- nice player here and a name to watch.
TE Charlie Mangieri Dunlap (soph)- great size/frame and will no question be a Top recruit name in the 2018 class. Comes from a good bloodline and is also a beast at defensive end as well.
TE Austin Schwantz Fremd- just a good sized and pretty athletic big kid here. I could also see Austin getting some looks as a DE as well. Showed good hands in positional work.
WR D'Anti Cox Rochester- the twins showed good speed in drill and positional work. Didn't see a ton of one on ones from these two but I was impressed.
WR D'Vante Cox Rochester- see above
RB Kamari Mosby Phillips- just love this kids motor. Runs hard plays fast and once the pads go back on will run hard and very physical.
WR Gavin Webb Springfield Southeast- has real speed and I saw that here as on his junior video. Size will be a bit of an issue for the bigger D1 level schools but kids like Gavin will play on Saturdays.
TE Chris Sampleton Nazareth Academy- just gets better every time I see him. Wondered for awhile what Chris would play in college and I have no question anymore. Could of had the best overall day out of a very, very good TE group.
WR Joshua Hill Chicago Christian- has some upside. Showed good speed needs to continue to work on hands etc but has some potential.
WR/TE Michael Marchese Stevenson- just loved the twins. Hard nosed kids who just bring it. One I feel is better than the other but then again I still can't tell one from the other so what do I know anyways?
WR/TE Henry Marchese Stevenson- see above
RB Tyler Hoosman Plainfield North- really liked this kid's game in 2015 and passed the all important eyeball test here.
TE Micah Jones Warren Township (soph)- has a chance to become the next 5 star in Illinois in the Class of 2018. I might be crazy but the more I see Micah in person the more I think he has the frame.size to develop into say an elite level DE? Regardless this kid's a stud and a half.
RB Richie Warfield Providence Catholic- just a hard runner, smooth with more speed than you think. Pretty comfortable making s bit of a comparison to say Sam Brodner here as far as running style and toughness with the ball.
WR Ty Richie Homewood-Flossmoor- good hands and body control. Runs well and has a bit more size and upside physically than I first thought.
WR Justin Weller Nazareth Academy- a turf rat. Just shows up to every one of these events and performs well.
RB James Fay Burlington Central- was a blast to watch in the open field work. Isn't the bigegst kid but has strength, speed and big time wiggle.
WR Markavian Darough East St Louis- good sized kid has hands and speed.
