What stands out to me for this class? The natural size for the DL we signed. They do not need alot of bulking up in weight. Maybe we can finally focus on their skills sooner than building their body up 1st. Linebackers are also good size for freshman and only need to add 10 to 20 lbs.

I am excited for all the recruits, at this point though Murray and Pierson intrigue me the most. I do not know much about Murray, but we beat out some damn good programs for him. He has good size too.

As for Pierson, 6'3" 212 lbs, SAFETY! WTF? That is the size of our LBS and DE's many years. He must have decent speed to be projected at safety. At his size he can be converted to play anywhere but OL and CB. I cannot imagine a 6'3" 212 lb safety protecting the middle or blitzing. Seeing that on paper is intimidating, let alone playing against it! If I were BH, this kid would be my biggest project to build on. If he does not cut it as a Safety, find out asap and build him at LB, DE, WR, or TE. I know this kid has hops already. Anyone know what his 40 time is? Physically this kid must be a genetic freak (meant in a good way)!! I cannot help but intrigued by this kid. The scary thing is he played for a small school. He probably does not even realize how good he can be with the right coaching and attitude. I have never seen this kid play a down or seen him period. However, am willing to go out on the limb and put him as my favorite to be the "STEAL" of this recruiting class when all is said and done. I doubt he will play his FR year, but have a feeling the next 4 years will be a nice progression for GRIZNATION!
