Does anyone have any new info or thoughts on the two Juco S that we are supposedly recruiting?
Malcolm Murray and Herschel Thornton both have great size for safeties-both about 6'2" 205-210.
Murray was recently upgraded to 4* by Rivals, and has offers from us, Kansas, Arizona (according to Rivals), and Illinois (according to Scout), and is visiting Nevada this weekend. Thornton does not have a rating, but does have offers from Pitt, Rutgers, and South Florida according to Rivals.
Thornton is listed by Rivals as having an offer from us and visiting this weekend, Scout lists no offer. There is also no indication that Thornton is a December grad, though it looks like Murray is a December grad and may have three years of eligibility left according to Scout.
Are we recruiting both, or will we only take one? If we only take one, I hope for Murray since he has three years left. Either one would add much needed size and depth at a position of need. The middle of our defense was gouged for yards in the passing game this season. A big guy who can run and hit might be what it takes to minimize that.
Any thoughts or updated info on these two?
