good idea in my opinion but can we limit the discussion to draft eligible only prospects? until the underclassman officially declare it just creates to much uncertainty (not to mention self impossed blackout of a certain player) that doesn't count does it?
 
well i can give you an eye witness report of leak. he can't take a hit. the guy will fall down in the face of a defender. also, meyer doesn't know how to adapt to his players.

good list but i think a few changes could be made:

Reggie Bush USC RB
Matt Leinart USC QB
Drew Stanton MICHST QB
Marcus Vick VT QB
Chad Henne MICH QB
Michael Hart MICH RB
A.J. Hawk OSU MLB
Tedd Ginn Jr OSU WR
Adrian Petterson OKL RB
Vince Young TEX QB
Brady Quinn ND QB
Maurice Drew UCLA RB
Laurence Maroney MIN RB
Elvis Dumervil LOU DE
Chris Leak FLR QB [imo the best player in the nation]
Brian Calhoun WIS RB
Chad Jakson FLR WR
Omar Jacobs BG QB
Derek Hagan ARST WR
Laron Landry LSU FS
Jimmy Williams VT CB
Darnell Bing USC SS
Mathias Kiwanuka BC DE
Mario Williams NCST DE
DeAngelo Williams Mem RB
Alan Zemaitis PSU CB
Ernie Sims FSU LB
Lendale White RB USC
Joe Addiai LSU RB (homer pick but best RB in the SEC, best all-around back behind bush)
Calvin Johnson GT WR
 
I would have to say that 1) Chris Leak is not the best player in the nation. 2) Joseph Addai is not the best all around back behind Bush, Maurice Drew is. Maurice Drew might even be more of an all around threat than Bush because of his insane punt return numbers.
 
forgot about drew, he is good but of course it is the pac-10. i took that from mel kiper before the year so drew has taken over that spot. however, drew is not a better all around player. bush averages 30 more all-purose yards a game and this is without getting to return many punts and having to share time with a back that averages more than 100 yards rushing a game himself.

not if urban meyer is still the head coach.
 
I think Leak will be a future star in the NFL too, this season has been a disaster though, which is why I don't think he is currently the best player in the ncaa.

There is the CB Jimmy Williams from VaTech who is 6'3 and fast. He will probably be a top 10 pick.

USC. He single handedly beat Notre Dame Saturday. Forced a Fumble late in the game which turned the tides on a USC comeback. He's been pretty solid all year.

ok i know who your talking about hes good but then again who on USC isnt.Imagine this how good USC was last year and if Mike Williams didnt make that stupid decison to enter the draft after his freshman year and then not being able to get reinstated but anyway imagine if the had him then theyd have Matt Leinrate Reggie Bush and Mike Willaims i think theyd have 3 of the top 5 heisman finishers.

The scary part is, Both John David Booty and Mark Sanchez are FAR better QBs than Leinart.

A Bunch of reasons...

1. He's not mobile.
2. He's not VERY accurate, just accurate.
3. He has an average arm.
4. The talent around him is enough to stock 3 D1 programs...his backups Booty and Sanchez both could start and put up his numbers(probably better...) or start at another school since their Freshman year.
5. He relies too much on the talent of his teammates. Often just lobbing the ball up and letting them do the work.

Realistically, He's exactly like Ken Dorsey. A smart, accurate passer with a weak arm who benefits from playing on awesome teams. The difference is, Miami was well balanced, so Dorsey didnt have to "carry" Miami, the way the USC offense has to carry USC.

Booty is starting next year because Sanchez is a Freshman this year and Booty will be a Junior next year. Sanchez needs to put on some weight before he gets a chance to play. Booty can absolutely throw the ball though.

If Jarrett(has to..sophomore), Smith and LenDale White all stay, no doubt Booty will be a Heisman canidate. If he loses White, then Mike Coleman will get the majority of the carries. He's certainly built to carry the load, but he's only going to be a sophomore as well.

Booty doesnt run very well, but far better than Leinart.

what if Reggie Bush doesnt enter the draft none of them are gonna get any votes for heisman
 
Bush is definetly gone. He basically said he was leaving when Matt was leaving. So if Matt left last year, he was going to leave this year. Matt coming back was just a bonus for him.

oo that sucks i love watching him in college and i like college football more then NFL [which i love the nfl to] because those guys show more intensity and they have better fans.Man i cant wait till i play college football but thats off the subject.I dont think White will be in the top 5 heisman race i mean look at all the other players like Adrian Petterson Marcus Vick Chris Leak Drew Stanton Chad Henne Michael Hart and im sure theres others
 
just happens I have a certain friend at work who's son is 13 and is eating up the competition as the starting RB. seems he has a solid line of, get this 13 year olds, 6'0 -6'2 average weight 210-230 lbs+ averages 100 over yards per game plus 2 td's and runs a 4.5 40 for real! Texas football is awesome baby and thats why we need people who are from this state running the Texans, there needs to be that connection. Derrick Johnson should be a Texan & Casserly blew it, big time just like Lidge did by throwing to big Albert Pujols in the 9th with two on base. man this hurts deep :mad:

If this was a list of last year's best players, then Teddy would get a spot, but this year, hype alone doesn't get it done. Holmes is the man on that offense.
 
i think a late-round steal is going to be Taurean Henderson from Texas Tech. the guy doesn't get much publicity since Tech throws 100 times a game, but he's an effective runner. and he's proven he can catch the ball out of the backfield. he's a little on the small side (5-10, 210) but deceptively quick. then again, there aren't too many RBs in the NFL taller than 6'.
 
i think the player that gets most of the carries next year for usc is hershal dennis if both white and bush leave. one thing you are forgetting is that leinart calls the shots, which is why he is so good. the guy is the college version of peyton, he called to the fly route to jarret on the fourth and nine. usc is going to experience a huge drop off next year because the norm chow connection will pretty much gone. hear good stuff about both booty and sanchez, booty will probably be the starter becasue he is a junior.

don't know about that heisman list. some of those players will be in the hunt but leak, peterson, henne, hart, and stanton probably won't. leak has looked terrible in his three big games (tennessee, alabama, LSU) so far outside of the first half against tennessee. AP has been slowed with that high ankle sprain. henne hasn't played well, the lose of edwards is really hurting him, if mario manningham can become the number 2 then breaston can move back to the slot where he is most effective and michigan could start rolling again. hart was hurt for some big games and that will take you out of the heisman race. stanton has put up some big numbers and had a great game on national tv against nd but wasn't able to do it against OSU. i thought i was going to be vince young's heisman to lose but bush seems to have emerged as the frontrunner and will win it if he continues. Young could sneak up, but i think he will be number two and matt leinart will round out the top three. if va tech stays undfeated then marcus will probably finish in the top five and i will put maybe croyle if they finish unbeaten, but that will be tough for bama.

relatedly, i like the other OSU linebacker more than hawk, for what it's worth.

Carpenter is nice, but Ohio State hasn't seen a better LB than Hawk since Spielman. Is it that you like his style of play? Carpenter would be a better 3-4 fit than Hawk, that's for sure.
