I’d add Matt Domer to the “next in” list, edge of top 5. Work horse on MC back to back State Championship team. Was a beast who put up huge numbers.

Domer is my MC All-Decade RB for sure. Imagine how gaudy his numbers would be in Lynch's system as well; singleback, defense spread out.

Two RBs, with less name recognition but nevertheless elite players, were Jarvion Franklin (Andrew) and Julian Hylton (LW North). They actually faced off in a regular season game as HS seniors. Franklin starred at WMU where he is the career rushing leader at 4800+ yards. Hylton moved to defense at Illinois where he appeared in 27 games before using his last year of eligibility at SIU.

Overall top ones I saw during the decade were Justin Jackson and although not from IL, were Olamide Zaccheaus (currently on Falcons) and D'Andre Swift( will be a 1st round pick out of GA) from Philly St Joe's. When Zaccheaus took one to the house v MC in '14 thought MC was going to get teeth kicked in.

As a high school player, where does Julian Love fall? RB, DB, WR, athlete? Hes got to be on this list somewhere. He was an absolute game changer. In the limited games I saw him play, he was unstoppable on the offensive side of the ball.

I ended up catching your drift, but it was a double take for me as well.

But it's absurd as in ridiculous, which when discussing SUPERLATIVES, is a positive...

That game in 2013 with Hylton and Franklin was one of the best I ever saw. Hylton carries the ball 52 times and had about 325 yards and Franklin was close to those numbers too!
