5-star Hurd gets his Florida offer

So, if Henry lost 20 pounds of muscle, he'd be an acceptable RB recruit?

I don't see how what he said was so bad. But I'm assuming he's talking bout all recruiting analysts saying Henry will never succeed as a RB and not specifically about which route our coaching staff went. My two cents.

Ohhhh, got ya.

247 Sports ranks both RB's as 5* and lists both at 6'3". Hurd is listed at 210, Henry at 240. I wasn't talking about the coaches. I was talking about posters on this board and analysts who keep predicting Henry can't play RB. Probably the same geniuses who went along with TT can't play QB. We're not looking for NFL prospects first, we're looking for recruits who can help UF win another NC. I've been watching CFB since the early 1960"s and this Henry reminds me of the candy bar when you see him live, (Oh Henry!). He is a very rare stud the likes of which come along very rarely. He's big enough to take an SEC type pounding, but fast enough to run away from tacklers like Burton did at UT. BTW, Burton is 6'3" and 230, TT was 6'3" and 240 and our best RB with the ball in his hands for several years.
A former Gators RB and I had lunch this week and both of us were scratching our heads trying to figure out why he's not on our radar. Both of us have seen him live several times.

BTW, the Fl Times Union polled the HS FB players on a list of topics and Henry was the runaway winner as best RB and best FB player. This is from the guys trying to tackle him and chasing after him. He will pass Emmett for #2 on the all time list in the 1st Qtr tonight. He has 8753 yds going in. But you guys are a lot smarter because you say he can't cut it as a RB.

There is moreto the story about why we are not recruiting Henry, and it is not grades. I dont know all of the details, so ill defer to those that do.

Why is this thread about Derrick Henry? Because he's better than Jalen Hurd? Then, why isn't FL recruiting him harder and why isn't FL in his top schools? POint being, it would probably be a good idea if you all stuck to discussing Hurd as obviously FL is still a viable option for this kid.

lol, thats a lick of truth salt

Lol dumbass.

I am a family member of this kid. That is why I am interested in what potential school boards are posting, you dumb f**ks! Talk about some idiots. I hope that all of you aren't this ridiculous or he won't be coming to FL either.
