Damien Harris named one of Rivals' first five stars
His name was actually released inadvertently. They were only going to post two per day, but put links to all of them in the first one they posted.

Edit: They have fixed their mistake and it is no longer visible, but it should be coming out soon.

By the way, when they release their initial rankings players will only be given a star and numerical rating on their 6.1 scale. However, unless they decide to downgrade him, he should be in the top 10 when they release their ordered Rivals 100.
August 25th, 2013 at 9:54 PM ^
Hoke and Co are killing it.
August 25th, 2013 at 11:05 PM ^
Whew! Good thing Blackwell doesn't recruit Kentucky!
August 25th, 2013 at 9:56 PM ^

Tim Sullivan had been eluding to the fact that he wouldn't be in the first ten, but not far behind on the forums over the past week or so.
August 25th, 2013 at 10:15 PM ^

Wrong again.
eluting (n.) - extracting (one material) from another, usually by means of a solvent.
August 25th, 2013 at 10:41 PM ^
August 25th, 2013 at 10:43 PM ^
Yes, I know. It was a joke.
August 25th, 2013 at 10:24 PM ^
I was thinking of what George Campbell will do to DBs.
August 26th, 2013 at 2:18 PM ^
It's colluding. I smell a conspiracy.
August 25th, 2013 at 9:58 PM ^
George Campbell better be in the next wave of ten. Or else.
August 25th, 2013 at 10:55 PM ^
He's that fast.
August 25th, 2013 at 10:05 PM ^
There are only 9 names released from that link including Tolliver. Why can't Rivals just release they top X list each day. It's like they're trying to give their rankings more credence by having a countdown, and it looks like somebody screwed up.
August 25th, 2013 at 11:09 PM ^
August 25th, 2013 at 10:04 PM ^
I can't wait to see him behind that o-line.
August 25th, 2013 at 10:11 PM ^
Surprised Geoge Campbell isn't among that group.
August 25th, 2013 at 10:18 PM ^
Minkah Fitzpatrick is also on this list. I believe Jabrill Peppers is recruiting him already.
August 25th, 2013 at 10:24 PM ^
I knew Fitzpatrick was going to be highly rated, I didn't know he was a top 10 type of prospect.
August 25th, 2013 at 11:44 PM ^
I didn't think that either. But he is really athletic, ever since his freshman year people talked about how fast he was.
August 26th, 2013 at 12:15 AM ^
It seems like St. Peter's Prep has produced some good talent in the last couple of years.
IIRC, Savon Huggins couple years ago was from St. Peter's Prep.
August 26th, 2013 at 2:04 AM ^
We're pretty good at sports in general. Savon Huggins, Keith Lumpkin (startiing LT for Rutgers) Sheldon Royster, Jon Hilliman, Minkah, and Brandon Wimbush ('15 QB, has a few D1 offers without starting on varsity, this year will be his chance for a lot more offers) are recent names. They also had Will Hill a few years back, but I didn't think Urban was the best coach for him.
August 26th, 2013 at 8:31 AM ^
August 26th, 2013 at 1:40 PM ^
Yeah I graduated in 2012, so I know Jon, and I went to school with the rest except for Will Hill.
August 25th, 2013 at 10:22 PM ^
Every Wolverine fan should be excited about the players being recruited to put on the winged helmet!
August 25th, 2013 at 11:52 PM ^

Harris will get here when manball is in full swing. Our stable of backs is filling out very nicely.
August 25th, 2013 at 10:37 PM ^
August 25th, 2013 at 11:03 PM ^
Supposedly Campbell tends to fight the ball a little bit...
Has every physical tool in the world, however....I can't imagine he's far behind the Top 10
August 25th, 2013 at 11:07 PM ^
Some of the scouting services have Campbell as an athlete. As you said he sometimes "fights the ball". If not a sick WR, he is going to be one of the sickest safeties in the history of football kind.
August 25th, 2013 at 11:18 PM ^
There seems to be a lot of variation in who the top players are this year, though it makes sense since there isn't nearly as much film out and I'm sure the services are rushing a bit to get these first lists out once 247 got theirs out almost a year before most sites usually do. Looks like Campbell is top 10 to 1 site and Harris is top 10 to another. Surprised not to see Settle in the top 10 since he seems to be a consensus top 10 among the other sites.
August 26th, 2013 at 12:28 AM ^
They have played only through their sophomore years. There will be a lot of moving around in the next 2.5 months.
August 26th, 2013 at 12:44 AM ^
by the sounds of the other night, he is earning the 5 stars
August 26th, 2013 at 7:12 AM ^
Because I don't see any link anywhere that gets me to Damien
August 26th, 2013 at 8:02 AM ^
They must have realized their mistake, and fixed it. They should actually release it in the next few days. In the meantime, I'll edit the OP.
August 26th, 2013 at 11:07 AM ^
More great news... the (much anticipated) class of 2013 has yet to play a down, an even more impressive class of 2014 is still being finalized and I've already moved on to 2015. It's really amazing what this staff has been able to accomplish!
August 26th, 2013 at 1:15 PM ^
Not a shocker, but happy he's being officially recognized. This staff is doing an amazing job getting top kids to come to A2.
