2008 PROSPECT; Bakari’s father played for the Bengals and Bakari is one of the top WR’s in Ohio.  Duane Long at Ohio High has Bakari rated as the #25 player in Ohio tied with other WR’s Kenny Stafford and Roy Roundtree.  Here’s an evaluation from ESPN:

Bussey really grows on you the more you watch him. He has good size and better speed than he is given credit for, and he has an aggressive “go get it” demeanor in everything he does. He has good height and a frame he has yet to grow into. Must add a lot of bulk and upper-body strength. Is smooth and fluid in his hips. Shows good change-of-direction skills, body control and balance. He accelerates well and flashes the ability to make the big play in the vertical passing game. Shows good body control, has the leaping ability to compete for jump balls downfield and flashes the ability to make the spectacular catch. He plays hard with good toughness for the position. He has good hands and is not afraid to sacrifice his body to make the catch in the middle of the field. He is a solid route runner who uses his size, quickness and body control to get open. Bussey is probably going to be categorized as a possession guy at the next level, but he still has the ability to create some big plays if you fall asleep on him. Can play inside or outside and is a go-to guy in the red area. Overall, Bussey is fairly explosive, is extremely productive and plays with a great motor. Has an opportunity to develop into a fine college receiver.
