Hurd and other wants in '14 class

  • The first thing I wanted to say about Jalen Hurd is that after watching his highlights, he immediately reminded me of a Chris Brown, the former RB for Colorado and the Titans. Same build, Hurd is 6'3, Brown is 6'4, both weight around 230 with very similar frames, and both run with almost the same upright running style, but deliver a blow at the point of contact. I gotta say that after watching Hurd's film I couldn't help but fantasize about him as our workhorse back like Brown was with his memorable performance against Nebraska in '01 where he ran for over 300 yards and like 6 touchdowns. I want this guy bad.

    The other prospects I really would like for us to land, and this will surely leave out a few, are Rico McGraw(love this guy) Todd Kelly Jr., Josh Malone, Neiko Creamer, Rashaan Gaulden (sic?), Dillon Bates, Charles Moseley, The Berry Twins, Alex Bars, Derek Barnett, and Matthew Pyke.

  • Completely agree. Hurd is so important for this class, not just for his ability alone (which is huge), but also for the mission of owning the state. Same goes for TKjr and Malone.

    McGraw is actually a '15 prospect, and it's way too early to tell what's going to happen with UT and his other suitors over the next two years, but from his offer list he's going to be a tough pull. Sounds like everyone in the country already wants him.

    Thats right, I always forget McGraw is a '15 prospect. He's a playmaker. Thanks.
