Dispatch
Jeannette (Pa.) High School coach Ray Reitz said he was surprised that junior running back Jordan Hall committed to Ohio State so early because he hasn't visited many colleges.
Hall, a high school teammate of incoming Ohio State recruit Terrelle Pryor, attended a Penn State game with Pryor last fall and visited Pittsburgh. He attended OSU's "junior day" two months ago, went to the spring game Saturday and committed Monday.

Does Reitz have a bonus clause for the # of players he places at UM? |

I had the link copied and pasted, darn you  Hall can get it done anywhere on the field but you can tell how shifty he is. I think Lamar Thomas is a good comparison, although Flash is faster. Beyond that, I really don't even think those are his best highlights anyways.

What i like about Jordan, is that although he's small.. he's built strong.. Mike Farrell actually pointed it out in one of th AMP pieces.. that his lower body is very stout and powerful... he's not the type of smaller back with skinny legs who cant run through an arm tackle..
Farrell compared him to Steve Slaton.. i dont think he's got the burst of Slaton, but it's a solid comparison in the way they are built.. small guys but very powerful and thick in the lower body..
If Im staff.. ive taking whatever position/role Lamaar Thomas lays claim to, and basically making Jordan Hall his backup...
They are very similar in the way they can make plays receiving, taking reverses, taking handoffs, working out of that zone read play, and being excellent special teams players..
Very excited about this addition

I'd be surprised if he ran even a 4.6 40 but he is just a great player. Quick change of direction, low center of gravity, sees the field, and can catch the football. Looks a lot like Mo. Maybe not as fast but runs with a little more power.

I agree...he does not have blistering fast top-end speed. However, his burst and speed off his cuts are impressive, which is where the money is. He reminds me a bit of Ray Rice from Rutgers, with better hands. I think he will be more effective than Mo' has been so far since I think Hall is good between the tackles and is more versatile.
