We have one DT this class (Price) and one from the 2012 class (Schutt). That's only two true DTs in two classes. I'm not a staff member, but even with Carter moving to DT for the OL I don't see a problem at all in taking one more DT in the 2013 provided we get another scholarship or two opened by NLOID. And with Hankins' declaration for the NFL being a very real possibility, Hurst could be the "replacement" for him (DT commit for a departing DT).

I'm just wondering how many of the larger DEs we have recruited grow into DTs, and end up moving inside.

Farris is already a DT and Hayes(not sure why he wasn't on the spring game roster) is as well. Carter looked good but he's got his work cut out for him to say the least.

Think Sprinkle ends up there as well. Listed at 270 some places, may be a little high, but will probably play inside. Bosa is enormous right now too and probably will play inside and out similar to Bennett. Plus there is Hale, Price, and Bellamy who plays tackle and end.

You can always use another at every position but think our numbers are pretty good across the defensive line.

^ was my point, recruits coming in as 260 pound kids, end up 300 pound men

Mo Carries, Mo Passes? Xaverian?s Maurice Hurst Jr., an ESPN Boston All-State selection last fall, was on site to support his teammates, but did not participate in drills. That didn?t stop the 6-foot-2, 290-pounder from stretching out with others during warm-ups and doing a few handstands.

You can place the big guy in the category of locals that have seen their stock take a meteoric rise, at least by Massachusetts standards. Like Catholic Memorial stars Armani Reeves and Cam Williams last year, and like Everett offensive tackle John Montelus this spring, Hurst has at least a dozen offers from Division 1 schools, including Ohio State, Michigan State, Penn State, UConn, Maryland, Nebraska, Missouri, North Carolina, BC and UMass.

?It?s been pretty hectic,? Hurst said of the last few months. ?A lot of schools have contacted me, and then all the fans, everyone just trying to make me make a decision as soon as possible.?

Hurst attended Ohio State?s spring game last month, and has also taken unofficial visits to Virginia, North Carolina, Duke and NC State. He says he won?t be making any decision until after he has visited Michigan and Michigan State, dates for which haven?t been planned yet.

You can attribute part of the sudden rise in Hurst?s stock in one impressive touchdown run against St. John?s of Shrewsbury last fall. Xaverian coach Charlie Stevenson typically pairs Hurst with tailback Hunter Taute in the backfield when in goal line and short-yardage situations. In this particular run, Hurst lined up at tailback, trucked a Pioneers defensive back and reeled off a 75-yard touchdown run in Vince Wilfork-like fashion.

Hurst made our All-State Team last season as a defensive tackle, and that will be his assignment at the next level. But six months after that posterizing run, Hurst is getting giddy talking about learning the passing tree.

That?s right, the big guy will be in 7-on-7?s this summer. Better yet, there?s a chance we could see him catching passes out of the backfield come the fall.

For now, though, Hurst will focus on improving his speed and conditioning ? ?A LOT of conditioning,? he adds.

Offered by Michigan today.......



this is what I love about this site. I see this kid is offered via Sam Webb twitter, I come here, do a search, and find a thread already about him with highlights and everything. As opposed to running into $$$ services at every other turn.
