Hurd and his Beech HS team will play Station Camp and Josh Malone on TV this Sunday the 25th at 11 or 11:30 AM. Not sure whether it will be on CSS or one of the ESPN networks. Check the listings for your area. Sorry if it has already been posted.

Dang it, I for one was hoping he would stay a 4 star as UT's record with 5* RB's isn't very strong. At least he was a 4* when he committed.

Don't forget, Gators can get life or lethal injection as well. Depends on where they reside.:)

Do stars matter? It depends. For perception reasons, I think stars/class rankings are great. A kid whose is highly rated may be more inclined to commit to a "down" team like UT if he sees other highly rated kids are doing it. And the publicity is good, especially for a team and fan base that has had little in the way of good publicity over the last 4 to 5 years. On the other hand, either you trust CBJ or you don't, (or CCM as well). Regardless of the stars, you need to believe that he is picking guys that he thinks can be good. Remember, it has been recently revealed that players are getting stars more often based on the number and quality of teams that recruit them rather than an actual talent eval. We sure can use the momentum of a top rated class, but if CBJ is "the guy" (I think he may very be), then even if we have some players drop a star, you gotta believe that coach sees something in them that he can use to win at UT. I think we have a perfect storm the season in that CBJ has brought new energy in a year with more in state talent than in recent years along with highly ranked legacy recruits. Hopefully CBJ will parlay this into a several year run of top end recruiting. I can't believe we are 2 weeks away from recruiting not being the most exciting thing happening in UT football!

By the way, Hurd is going to be a stud. I don't give a rats arse if they drop him to 1 star. Can't wait to have a fast, 235+, 6'3" RB (projected weight once a starter, by me) making CB crap their pants while diving at his feet to avoid the hit. The boy is LB size, inside no less.

UT hasn't done that in over 40 years! The closest recent "run" by UT was a 4-3 mark from 1998-2004. Other than that, UF has beaten UT like it owes them money.

5th star!! Now, he can be mentioned in the same breath as Brian Darden and Bryce Brown!!

FWIW: I think Jalen Hurd will be a great running back at UT.

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.

I'm with you on this one. Both are beast! Kelly's athleticism is off the charts.:rock:
