There was a similar thread over on Intermat that I thought would be interesting for us to discuss here. I added Duke to the list compared to the Intermat thread. Most on Intermat chose Blaze, followed by Forrest. For myself, I would place Blaze and Duke in the top two, with it being a coin flip between their careers. Their stingy defense and solid positioning are what I think separates them from Bassett and Jax; think Dake compared to Taylor. I would place Forrest at three because of his insane scrambling ability and also his ability to generate offense from unconventional positions. This leaves Bassett at four for me, which seems incredible considering his pedigree. The other three are just that incredible. I have doubts that Bassett's frenetic pace will yield as many dividends in college. Also, he too frequently allows his opponents to get to his legs. This is something that will be much more problematic for him in college than it has been for him in high school.
With all of that said, I anticipate stellar careers out of all four of them. As far as predicting the number of national titles for each of them, my cautious nature is telling me to not get too far ahead of myself since national titles are so hard to achieve. But since this is all in fun, my imperfect self is going to go big on all four of them and say that Blaze and Duke get six or more between them and Forrest and Bassett get four or more between them.
