10 best Freshman in the country

I saw Gerry mention that Mike Davis and Jackson Jeffcoat were better than advertised and 'top 10 type guys in the country.'
So I guess this question is for Gerry/Bobby (but anyone can answer). Now that we are 3 games in, who are the 10 best freshman in the country so far (yes, I know this is a small sample size).
Davis and Jeffcoat seem to certainly be in the top 10. Lattimore and Dyer also seem to be locks. Who are the others?
Thanks!

IMHO, USC RB Dillon Baxter needs to be on that list...UF DT Shariff Floyd has played with intensity in the limited UF games I've seen

I know Florida has played more Freshman than Texas and had the #1 class. I just haven't watched them enough to say who from that class (if any), should be added to the list.

USC WR Robert Woods has really been good too. WR and KOR. Definitely high on the list.
Let me check and I'll come up with something today.
S Matt Elam from Florida has been pretty good. Josh Shaw as well at CB/S. Not saying top 10 though.

South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore is probably #1 right now.

Woods has looked incredible to me. I was able to see a lot of him at Serra last year and he looks much faster at the college level than he did last year.

It's not even close IMO.
I know you're going to disagree, but I think that kid has AD potential written all over him (minus the fumbles). I've only seen two games, but I was blown away by his running ability, ability to stay on his feet, and how smooth he runs.

For OU, Tony Jefferson is the guy. He's the safety/nickel from California. Trey Millard is starting for them - he's a true freshman fullback in the JD Runnels mold.
But I think Mike Davis is having the same caliber year that Jefferson is having.
Anthony Barr is a big tailback that is playing some for UCLA. Malcolm Jones is getting carries for them, too.
Jeffcoat is on another plane from everyone except Lattimore right now IMO.
Others:
Justin Hunter, the WR at Tennessee, is legit, but plays on a bad team.
Demarcus Milliner is pushing the starters at Alabama as a CB.
Damonte Moore is getting some serious time at A&M, as is Joeckel.
Josh Huff at Oregon - from Aldine - may be their best freshman.
I'm sure there are others, but I haven't looked at it comprehensively yet.

I don't know if he's a redshirt or not, but he's on their roster fwiw.

Dontae Williams, the other freshman from Texas, had a better camp from everything I read.
