The King is gone, long live the, well, Crisp

With the departure of DE Gabe King for Oregon—he has enrolled at South Eugene High—The Observer’s NC Top 25 Prospects list will have a new No.1 player, as everyone moves up a spot. That means that OL Robert Crisp of Athens Drive High is our new top dog, taking over from Gabe.

It also means that everyone else on the list moves up one spot. At the end of the group, No. 25 Tehvyn Brantley is now 24th, meaning I’ve got to find a new No.25 for the list.

Have any suggestions? I’ll be checking with coaches and writers, but feel free to make your own pitch. But just because little Johnny scored six TDs against the Rhubarb Academy last week doesn’t make him a good candidate.

Anyway, let’s get this thing back up to 25 guys again.

Anthony Short- Butler High School- should be in the top 10. The Brantly kid is a joke and couldnt sniff Shorts jock. He plays in the pitiful NCHISAA- a glorifed pop warner division

Glad I was able to help point this out to Stan. State with 3 of the top 5 players.

At the FBU camp, Crisp and King went at each other with everyone watching and not only did Crisp win that battle but all the others as well against 5* DE's. You should probably have him at #1 anyway.
