‘zero-star recruit’ to nation’s top rusher

Post by jcgmoi »

Good feature on your RB sensation, from The Athletic.

Coming from a wing-T offense in HS explains some of why he was ignored by most schools.

Here he takes on a pretty good defense. War (bleep) Hawk.

First Schrader now Hardy. Not many other teams signing 0* players in near consecutive seasons and see them excel in the SEC, although Hardy gave a good preview at UL-M.

How could so many "big time" football talent evaluators/recruiters have missed Hardy. Unfrickenbelievable!

Mizzou didn’t recruit a zero star running back, they recruited a freshman (college) all-American that gained o er 1359 yards rushing.

Apparently he had some shoulder injuries in high school that scared off a lot of schools.

Huh. And here I always thought that running backs ran with their legs. Who knew?
