2015: The best high school class of RB's Washington ever?

Have we ever had a better class of talented/exciting RB's coming out of Washington at once?


Gaskins - strong, smart, fast, block reader
Joyner - looked like a man among boys vs. Goliath in the semi-finals, POY & all state since sophomore year
Urlacher - all-time state season record
Hicks - speedster with a couple of 300+ yard games
McClatcher - could've had 300 yards in 7 games (had 300 in first half of one) and one of the quickest and most electric ankle breakers ever out of the state
McPherson - do-it-all all stater on both sides of ball
Goltermann-Doyle - had 200+ yards against a Kentwood defense that practically shut down McClatcher
Wells - Nifty moves and deceptively quick KingCo rushing leader
Edwards - 2,000+ yard season speaks for itself

Did I miss anyone? Will there ever be this many fun-to-watch, talent-laden RB's again in one class?

I know half these guys are moving around in college, and many are too small to excel at RB in college. But I'm just talking about the class as a whole from their HS position.

    Whatever class Dillon was in beats this one. Even if dugthedoog was #2 that year.

    2005 had these guys...

    Jonathon Stewart 5* - Oregon
    Leon Jackson 4* - Nebraska
    J.R. Hasty 4* - Washington
    Taylor Rank 3* - South Carolina
    Tirrell Thompson 3* - Oregon State

    Those were the top 5 guys, but there was surely some smaller guys too.

    The Paul Arnold, Marcus Trufant, Braxton Cleman class was once hailed as the greatest of all time in the state. There were a couple other guys in that class who I'm forgetting now.
