Pre-Spring Recruiting Rankings 2009

With recruiting having become a year-round spectacle, it is now never too early to start looking ahead to the 2009 recruiting class in Miami-Dade and Broward. So, last week, a day after the 2008 class was complete, I sat down with recruiting guru Larry Blustein to compile Pre-Spring football rankings for next year's classes in Dade and Broward. This is what we came up with.
