Alot of these players will be 06 draft prospects bc they'll declare early, for example I expect Peterson, Johnson, Ginn to all declare for this years draft.

I'm from the Syracuse area so I am a Mike Hart fan. He came from a Section III Class D (small) highschool in Onondaga. Most people said that he wouldn't amount to much because he was too small and the caliber of teams that they played in the class D division was weak. As you can see the kid is a monster. He owns just about every state record in the RB class. I have heard that his younger brother is even better than he is but I'll believe it when I see it. At Mike's pace, he'll be a top 3 draft pick when he leaves. Chad Henne is a gamer as well. Michigan will be fun to watch this fall.

On a side note, which one of the Miami receivers will we draft to replace Moulds in 2006? Buffalo has a thing for Miami and Tennessee players it seems.
