Not to mention getting involved in the Maryland and Virginia recruiting areas. Those seem to be the most noticeable factors in the verbal of Ronald Hobby.
Not only is Hobby from an area Pitt has targeted – Panthers receivers coach Aubrey Hill recruits Maryland, Northern Virginia and Washington – but he has been consistently timed at 4.4 seconds in the 40-yard dash.
“He’s a burner,” Scout.com recruiting analyst Bob Lichtenfels said.
He’s also not lacking for confidence.
“I’m electrifying,” the cornerback/receiver/return specialist said. “I think that’s the best way to say it.”
He did have offers from BC, VT and Syracuse. As a 1 to 2-star “athlete,” he’s a project who would likely see most of his early action on special teams.

How about a DB coming out of HS that was 5’11, 180 and ran a 4.3? Returns for the bears now, named Devin Hester?
