Great news for this class' rankings

Boom!

 

[DD4ME]

Boom! Where does this place us in recruiting rankings? ....that's right still #1

Sweet

I wasn't sure before, but now that he got the fifth star I'm convinced this kid will be really good.

Now that we have a 5 star recruit I'm a firm believer that Butch can recruit.

I was always sure. Dude's a stud

Moves our average star ranking to 3.5 which is tied for 5th best in the country. That is with 24 commits with the next closest top 15 team in star average having 17 commits.

We have the best and deepest class in terms of overall talent, IMO right now. It isn't really close.

 

[YankeeVol]

Awesome!

 

[DD4ME]

Butch is putting us in a position to still be top 5 even when other teams start filling their smaller classes.

 

[omghulkhands]

Is he rated just as a RB? Wasn't there some talk about him playing DB?

 

[Wilson27]

Would like to see Kelly and Bates get that 5th star too. Not that it matters in the bigger scheme but just really good pub for us and can help recruiting feed itself.

 

[orangeluvr]

Hurd's performance this season will cement that rating. I want all of our recruits to have great and injury free seasons, and of course stay committed.

He is playing safety at his HS, along with Rb. He is rated as a Rb and will play there in college.

 

[CountVolcula]

He is automatically better now

Whew! I was worried

 

[vflsmokey1]

is it fair to say he will be the starter going in to the O and W game?

"Stars mean nothing." -voice of seasons past

Well they don't mean that much when rated high. Woody Womack admitted that the reason Hurd didn't get a 5* earlier is because he didn't attend their camp. Nm the fact that he was talented enough to be a 5* on two other sites.

 

[bigeasy]

Has he always been the 5th best RB?

 

[livefaith]

This makes me feel so much better. I guess Butch does "get it". :-D

 

[Rocky-Top 10EC]

Heck yea!

 

[Catbone]

Correct me if I'm wrong but if we were planning to play him on defense you'd think we would be taking more RBs this class

 

[Volunteer forever]

Major boomage!

Underrated post haha

Much deserved.
