[Tommy]

Need to add a linebacker in the top 10
Micah Paris - Kapolei 5'10 210

His first two games alone had 18 and 14 respectfully and 25 total the last 2 games-
We are looking at around 57 tackles, most unassisted. There is no other
linebacker with those numbers-

on the cusp:
Jacob Afele - Mililani

0-Linemen

Other than Sataraka, the rest of the Farrington line is over-rated, they are good, but not top 10
If the rating is about: speed, technique, footwork.



Their line is slow from side to side, but their great backs are awesome-
Using your bulk doesn't make you a good overall player, Sataraka has it all (speed, tech, footwork, bulk)

[HRC Paul]

Yes! Micah Paris. See, this is why it's good to be as public as possible with lists. I saw him play against Waipahu. Solid!

Just added him to the 'Cusp'.

[jonnylingo]

Elias McMoore 6'3 255 lb DE Sr. Kapolei. Big part of why Kapolei defence is so strong along with Owen Sueza on the other end. You have to watch how good these two gentlemen work on that D line and the to top it off with Micah Paris at MLB and Kaeo Kanoa DB.

[HRC Paul]

Would you have McMoore in the top 10 for DLs?

I see him listed at 245 lbs. Did he gain 10 lbs since the summer physical?

[jonnylingo]

255 lbs #74 yes I would put him in the top 10

[HRC Paul]

Really? I gotta go back and look at my Kapolei-Waipahu video.

Who would you bump out of the Top 10?

[jonnylingo]

Mcmoore at 9 , Savusa at 10

[HRC Paul]

Mcmoore at 9 , Savusa at 10

You'd bump Fangatua and Taua out? I like Savusa at 10, too. He had a big play last week.

Then again, Campbell gave up 45 tonight against Mililani. Yikes!

[DA SCOUT]

Austin gerrard WR kam avg over 20yds per catch and three td's . he is a great middle cusp guy on the rise , elite hands and great vertical speed. kealii kaanapu, Damien spectacular pass catcher , great at the top of the sleeper list when the monarchs need a big play u can guarantee he's in thtere mix. Paredes from Waipahu should be hanging at 11 or 12 he might be the most versatile QB in the OIA red west, you have a WR in the top 10 from waipahu somebodys throwing him the ball. dade apao Kam not even a starter barely plays and he started at top 8 still hanging around at 12 or 13 , great special teams guy though

Thanks DASCOUT.

Gerard has skills, definitely, but Kamehameha doesn't throw much to him or Pedrina. The three TDs are impressive. Coming into this weekend, there aren't a lot of receivers with at least three TDs: Kanawai Noa (six), Daicorri Briscoe (three), Kenan Gaspar (four), Domonic Morris (five), Kainoa Abreu (four), Zac Bastatas (three) and Tanner Nishioka (five).

Haven't seen Damien yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Kaanapu has eight receptions, zero touchdowns, but the season is still young.

Apao - a guy not starting is going to affect the list. Thanks for the update and please keep them coming.

[Tommy]

Yes! Micah Paris. See, this is why it's good to be as public as possible with lists. I saw him play against Waipahu. Solid!

Just added him to the 'Cusp'.

On the cusp? Paris? He is a top 10-bump out the bottom of the list, I think overall he is better and has better numbers than anyone on the top ten and just a junior.

I saw the kid Mcmoore play and he is very good, but better than Savusa?, I don't know. Savusa didn't have a good outing last night, but if Mcmoore does great next week, he deserves to be rated. Good size 6'3 and 245-255, college DE certainly-

[HRC Paul]

Who would you bump out if Paris is in the Top 10 LBs?

[Tommy]

I would bump anyone from 5-10 in place of Paris
He is that dominant, in fact, who has better numbers than him in the top 10, he is pushing around 57+ tackles in 4 games-
anyone?
Kapolei has one of the most solid defenses around and no one was listed except Kaeo Kanoa, why is that?
No linemen, no linebackers, no corners.

[SRJC]

After watching the Baldwin v.s. Lahainaluna. I think #52 Alika Ezera isn't that good.
His teammate is better Baldwin OL #76 Ricardo Montilliano 6'3" 300 senior.
I think Lahainaluna sophmores should be included in the sleepers #73 Justin Hong OL 6'1 275 soph and #54 Connor Mowat C 5'11 215 soph.
