re: Dandy Dozen released.

I cannot figure out why everyone is freaking out over Lashley being left off. DD is best HS players, not prospects. Lashley has started half a season on the OL in his career. Nothing he's done on the field validates DD. you could make a good argument that he's the best prospect in MS but that's not the DD.

Damien Dickens is not a project and was probably the biggest screw job on the whole list.

I'm partial to Abraham but it should not be both he and Howard. Howard got a state title last year and silly stats so you could make an strong argument for him too.

Justin Conner was questionable and Jordan Dimcan was highly questionable.

You could take off Abraham/Howard, Duncan, & Conner and replace with Nero Nelson, Damien Dickens, and Daniel Crowell and have a much better list that rewards the best HS players w/some credence to college upside imo
