Agreed on mechanics. It's a big deal and it makes or destroys a QB's ability to adapt to the next level of play. Good for him. I root for guys like Hurts, even though I am a Bama hater. Just seems like an all around top notch guy in his personal life.
Speaking of recruiting, those publications are all over the place. It depends on which publication you read on these ratings, and then on top of that, some divide up position rankings. Especially for QB, they have at least 3 categories, Pro-style, dual-threat and then something else. Ohio State actually has the best dual-threat freshman coming in (Tate Martell), again it's just 1 or 2 publications who ranked Martell as the #1 overall dual-threat.
The one recruit that's going to put Bama solidly as the #1 class will be Najee Harris. That kid is a beast. Wish Ohio State was in the running, but we're loaded at RB for the next few years, I don't fault him for looking to Bama where there's room for him to start, even next year with Bo's injury.
