Keep in mind that the 2012 class is dynamic as ratings change constantly and players pick up offers and change their commitments throughout their senior seasons. Just yesterday, Kevin Davis and Jordan Wallace accepted scholarship offers to
Anyways, just look at the list of those players. If a FBS college coach wanted to build a squad of 22 offensive and defensive players, he could fill it up solidly with Warren Central players from the 2010, 2011, and 2012 graduating classes. Heck, if he only wanted defense, Warren Central could easily fill that need. I'd be surprised if this year's defense gave up more than 7 points per game. I'm kidding, of course, but you get the picture. The school runs a blitz-heavy scheme with both safeties playing close to the line of scrimmage. This is one of the reasons why UC-bound Nick Temple was listed as a safety in high school but will project to a linebacker in college and why you see so much talent coming out of Warren Central on the defensive side of the ball. This powerful defense also helps the offense, as players like UC-bound OG Deyshawn Bond face intense pressure in practice and become extremely well prepared for the games on Friday nights. Even more so, it prepares them to face the bigger, smarter, faster players at the college level.
And that takes me to my last point. Matt previously wrote about the pipeline
