How bout Zach Rogers.
You left off Larry Fitzgerald. He is a 6'2 cornerback at Memphis Mitchell High School. Coach Drayton informed Fitzgerald that he would be used as a free safety. Tennessee has offered him a full scholarship.
So is this helping at all? For some reason I doubt anyone is using it. For me, it's easier just to do a quick search from the dropdown to find a player.
Anyone have a better idea of how we can keep a running list?
Rex and VIA, any input? It would be nice if we could have a thread that the three of us try and keep updated with names. Thoughts?

Sims Names Top Five
By Eric Guimaraes
ATH David Sims (6-0 215) of Calhoun County High School has narrowed his list to five schools. USC, Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, and NC State are his top five. He has offers from all five as well as Alabama, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Colorado, Michigan, Oregon, Florida, FSU, Michigan, and Kansas. Sims's recruiter at USC is Shane Beamer and he says that Beamer is in constant contact with him. He likes USC because of its proximity. "It's close to home. I like that my family would be able to come watch me play." He also likes the coaches. "I get along with all of them pretty well." Sims says the Gamecocks are recruiting him at running back and, all things considered, that is the position he would prefer to play in college. "I'm being recruited for many different positions. I like running back." Sims camped at Alabama this summer and said it was just good to get some reps in. He plans on attending the USC/NC State on Thursday at Williams Brice Stadium in Columbia. He has not named a leader and has no timetable for a commitment.
The Ohio State running game, in a state of flux over the injury to Heisman Trophy candidate Chris "Beanie" Wells, might have received a solid boost to its future stock on Saturday when the nation's top high school running back indicated that he plans to play for the Buckeyes.
Floridian Jamaal Berry, a senior at Miami's Palmetto High, reportedly was in attendance at Ohio State's season-opening rout over Youngstown State, along with his mother and several close friends.
Berry (5-11, 195) told the OSU fan site Bucknuts.com that he gave Ohio State an oral commitment last weekend to accept a scholarship offer. Players cannot make a formal, written commitment until February, and NCAA rules prohibit Ohio State's coaches from commenting on any prospect until that commitment becomes official.
"I think he is a guy who could come in and contend for time right away," said Bucknuts managing editor Steve Helwagen. "And again, Ohio State has gotten one of the top players in Florida. It just shows again how OSU is taking advantage of Miami and Florida State being down."
Berry, who had 1,033 yards rushing and 14 touchdowns last season after rushing for 522 yards and five scores as a sophomore, told Bucknuts that he had offers from Florida, Mississippi, LSU and Michigan, and he might still visit several of those schools to fulfill promises he made to recruiters. He indicated that those trips should not be an indication that his commitment to Ohio State is less than firm.
"I made my decision for a reason," Berry said. "I feel at home at Ohio State. I like everything about Ohio State. I'm good with my decision."
