It’s not a shocker to keep hearing these three names excel. The surprising thing is that Edmond Memorial’s Connor Myers and Tulsa Edison’s John-Philip Hughes still aren’t getting the recognition.

According to Barry Every, a recruiting analyst for Rivals.com, Myers, Hughes and Guthrie’s Kentrell Brothers were all very impressive at the National Underclassmen Combine two weekends ago at the University of Oklahoma.

I especially liked what he wrote about Myers because I’m in total agreement about it. Every said it’s tough for Myers to get noticed because he’s playing a position (defensive tackle) that’s tough for colleges to find. Myers has offers from Air Force and Weber State, feels like he should have more.

Not much more you can say about Brothers. The Bluejays star has racked up one big honor after another the entire summer, and the ball feels like it’s in his court at this point.

Hughes came out of nowhere this summer, and I’m glad he’s getting some recognition. He looks clunky out there, but he’s extremely gifted and should start to get some offers and interest.

For Every’s full report, including the top names for 2012 and 2013, here ya go.
