After the 4 recent BCS offers, including the P5 offer from Syracuse, I moved him up to 5th in the state.  I had him there in my head but it is hard for me to justify having kids with multiple P5 offers over a guy who only had offers from Delaware State and some other small school I have forgotten.

Rashard had 111 tackles as a DL last season.  100 tackles is great production for a season for a linebacker.  It is ridiculous production for a DL.  Led the state in sacks with 23.  I think numbers like these matter, even at the HS level.  Took a program on his back and led them to the state finals as a junior.

As of early March, unbelievably, he had no highlight film up.  That could only happen in NYS for a player clearly one of the top 10 in the state.  I did watch one of his playoff games (I think it was McQuaid) and while he took a few plays off, as money says, when Bennett needed a big play, he delivered consistently.

Anyway, he is a little light for DL and will probably need a year or two in the weight room to make an impact on a program like Syracuse.  That is the real difference I see between him and the kids rated ahead of him in the state (all national level recruits).

Made a few other minor changes, but Rashard got the big bump.
