  Didn't expect it that quick. Nice.

and we're in the thick of it with 5 star DB Adoree' Jackson, and Josh Malone moved up to 30, he could end up a 5 star. Right now we are trending up with him.

3 five stars wouldn't be bad at all

Brings our average up to 3.5, good for 4th in the country (I don't count usc, as they only have 7 commits).

Hurd should be a 5 star.  He's as good a prospect as anybody in the country this year.

I was thinking the same thing but lately, there have been some detractors on local radio saying that he may be a little over-rated.  They say he runs too upright, and several other negatives.  Got me to wondering...

If we somehow get Adoree,  wow.

I've seen him play 3 times in person and a bunch on video.  The only time I see him running upright is when he is 5 yards behind the secondary and sprinting to the end zone. 

Another thing to consider is that he is 6'3" and not 5'11" or 6' tall like many running backs are.  He is going to look more "upright" because he is taller than most running backs.

Eddie George and Adrian Foster were both tall and ran upright and i guess they turned out alright! Good point.

BTW, Beech (Hurd) vs Station Camp (Malone) will be on ESPN2 this Sunday at noon Eastern.
