Issac is a good comparison to Hurd. I think Hurd is even more talented than Issac was coming out of HS though.
Hurd is very good. Hurd may be equal to, but is for sure not better than issacs at the same stage. You have to know that his highlights where against some really good competition. Even that championship game, the other team had numerous D1 recruits, and alot of college caliber kids. Isaacs did it against top competition. Not saying Hurd is playing cupcakes. I just think issacs speed is a little better than Hurd.

Have you seen Ty Issac in person? I have. He's big and powerful, but certainly not as fast or agile as J Hurd. There's a reason that 247 ranked Hurds speed as a 9 and Issacs as a 7. Other than the obvious size comparison, these 2 have a lot of differences - especially speed.
