With spring practices, camps, combines and a lot of film-watching sessions in the rear-view mirror, Rivals.com is following up pre-summer grades at each position with grades for each region. Mike Farrell breaks down the East region in this edition.
East 2009 Position Grades: Offense
WIDE RECEIVER
Je'Ron Stokes is one of the best potential slot receivers in the country, Todd Thomas has size and speed and Justin Brown has offers from everyone.
