    Two on top for four-star defensive tackle Maurice Hurst Jr.

    Westwood (Mass.) Xaverian Brothers defensive tackle Maurice Hurst Jr. has a clear cut top-two and has an important visit on the horizon. Whats the scoop?

  • Virginia fans seem to think he's a strong lean towards us, just going by their comments to the article.

    For what it's worth, they were also very complimentary about our program and seem like pretty cool fans. I thought the same about VaTech during the bowl season. May have to add them to the list of schools I pull for.

    Most were complimentary, outside of the guy who was questioning our tradition without actually knowing what he was talking about. He said, " they also fired their most successful ever coach and replaced him with a fool." which must've been referring to Carr -> RichRod and is false on multiple accounts. Carr was a successful coach and won a NC, but to call him the most successful coach ever in Michigan history is wrong. Yost, Crisler, and Bo all had a higher winning percentage in close to, or more, seasons coaching. And he wasn't fired so they could replace him with RichRod, he retired and while they clearly made a mistake hiring RR, at the time he was a hot commodity who had previously turned down the Alabama job the year before. I don't expect opposing fans to know our tradition, but I also don't expect them to spout off like they do know it when they clearly do not.

    Should post that in the article comments IMO, spot on.

    I was going to, but Reply/Quote was disabled for me on that article so figured I didn't have access to post on their board?

  • bill kurelic has info on red cedar rumblings stating that he has a top three of state, mivhigan, and virginia. his dad played football with one of the state coaches recruiting him and that he was not close to a decision. in fact he is still planning on making a swing through ann arbor and lansing before making any conclusions. this seems pretty contradictory to having a top two....

    Frankly I think that is fluff from the RCMB people. That is the only article even naming MSU lately.

  • Yeah, I mean I'm not sure. State fans are nodded as well and they are not really sure. It was direct quote as well from him saying I'm not committing anywhere until I visit both schools. So I'm hoping its fluff but as of right now we will have to wait and see

    Bill is a reputable recruiting source (and a staff member). But yeah, I'm not really sure what's actually happening here.

    I need a percentage to sum things up, otherwise his article just seems like a bunch of words to me, very confusing.

  • Yeah butte I agree fully. There were hardly any quotes too, so I'm not going to discredit him but I don't want say state is a full contender either

    He uses too many decimal places. I don't need something that precise.
