could get great Michigan recruiting coverage and look at silcone in one place.  It was like reading Playboy for the articles!

Actually, I assume this is good news for TTB.   When you have to sanitize a website it means you are going mainstream and attracting a broader audience.  Congrats.

Yes, his father played cornerback for the Patriots from 1989 to 1995.  He had played for Southern University and had been the Patriots 4th pick in the 1989 NFL Draft.

Magnus, the surprising thing from your site's interview with Maurice, Jr. is that he has no relationship with his father.  Not sure whether you'd seen this article about him, but there are some more details here: http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2012/09/04/rising-son/kpVntGLJAR8EMJrSiFyYCM/story.html  Wonder whether he'll go back to wearing number 73 (the reverse of his father's number with the Patriots), now that number 11 has become a Michigan Legends jersey number.

Sounds like Michigan will have a good young man joining the football team this year; and if Notre Dame has Louis Nix taking snaps this coming season, then Maurice Hurst, Jr. running for Michigan out of the pistol or shotgun might be an interesting scheme for the Wolverines offense to consider.

Nice interview, and thanks for sharing.

It is nice to see the family culture of the program come up consistently in interviews as one of the primary drivers for recruits and signees. This and the tradition, which Hurst also mentions, make us that much more attractive, I would say. Most importantly, Hurst - and others have mentioned it - they trust the staff to put them in positions where they can succeed.

Thanks for posting this. Maurice Jr sounds like such a great kid and his mom sounds great too
Unfortunately Sr is a massive douchebag for not supporting his son. I have no respect for deadbeats like his dad.
