'14 VA DE Da'Shawn Hand (Alabama Verbal)

[JonBenke]

seems simple enough

Which will be a better gauge of who his true top 5 are.

I'm guessing you don't think his five visits will match his top five listed?

Considering his first visit won't happen for another 200+ days, no.

Looks like Florida leap frogged us and North Carolina. Still early. List changed somewhat at least.

ESPN - Hand ahead of the game

2/7

Tom Luginbill breaks down Woodbridge (Va.) defensive end Da'Shawn Hand, one of the nation's top prospects in the Class of 2014. Hand holds upwards of 35 scholarship offers, but five programs currently lead the rest.

JC Shurburtt-I feel like he will take a lot of visits and make a thorough decision, but my guess is that Michigan and Virginia Tech are in the best shape for Da'Shawn Hand currently.

The loss of the tSUN dline coach could affect Hand:

But his loss certainly will be felt on the recruiting trail.

Montgomery was integral to the recruitment of tailback Derrick Green and defensive tackle Henry Poggi, the two highest-rated members of the Wolverines' 2013 class according to Rivals.

He had a hand in six of the 2013 commitments overall: Offensive lineman Jake Butt, defensive lineman Taco Charlton, receiver Jaron Dukes, linebacker Mike McCray, Poggi and Green.

He was the key recruiter for each of Michigan's 2014 commits.

And, looking forward, Montgomery was Michigan's trigger man on several uncommitted prospects for 2014, including defensive end Da'Shawn Hand. The Woodbridge, Va., prospect is the country's No. 1 overall player for 2014, and lists the Wolverines among his five leaders.

Doesn't sound like it will.

That's why when Hand's primary Michigan recruiter ? former defensive line coach, Jerry Montgomery ? left for Oklahoma last month, the Maize and Blue lost little if any ground.

"I heard about it, but I'm not sweating it," said Hand on Montgomery's departure. "Montgomery is a good dude, and that's a good move for him, but I'm not interested in Oklahoma whatsoever. That's how I feel about it. He is a good dude, but I like Coach Mattison."

Scout$--Auburn Makes Impact On Five-Star Hand

Da'Shawn loved the facilities and dorms at Auburn and will likley visit Clemson, Florida, and FSU soon. He doesn't have a timetable for a decision.

Expected to make an unofficial visit to OSU on Sunday! Absolutely huge news. Go get him, Urb!

Since Peppers claimed he was #1 in the country I would love to see Hand's competitive juices start flowing and want to join us in kicking the trash out of ScUM.
