With both A'Shawn and Da'Shawn, Vern will be a mess!

Maybe Vern should use their jersey numbers rather than their names. Wink

He'd mess that up too.

Vern (squinting):

"#31 sprints to the 3, and tackled by his own man, #31.
OH WOW, IN YOUR LIFE HAVE YOU SEEN SO MANY 31s?"

What makes Hand stand out is not necessarily his pure speed as an edge rusher but his overwhelming power. Hand is nearly 260 pounds of pure muscle and he's spent his high school career regularly plowing through offensive linemen on his way to the backfield. Hand is capable of adding more weight and lining up as a true 3-4 defensive end or staying about where he is and lining up at Jack linebacker. It will likely take some time for Hand to perfect his technique, something that likely hasn't been as crucial for him to succeed at the high school level, but he was widely regarded during the offseason as one of the sharpest and hardest-working prospects on the camp circuit.

With freshmen A'Shawn Robinson, Jonathan Allen and Dee Liner already contributing this year, Hand will be a part of a young but extremely talented group of players manning the defensive front for Alabama over the next few years. With a couple of years of coaching and development, that group has the potential to be one of the most dominant units ever seen in Tuscaloosa....

...With two commitments from players ranked No. 1 overall by different services (Hand and OT Cameron Robinson), it's difficult to imagine a scenario in which Alabama does not finish No. 1 in the 2014 recruiting rankings. The Tide still has two other five-star prospects on their radar in running back Leonard Fournette and cornerback Marlon Humphrey.
