“It’s not my final five,” Hand answered.  “It might change, but not likely.  I’m probably going to be sticking with this five, but I’m not closing off my recruitment.”

Of the five favorites, Hand has visited Alabama, North Carolina, and Virginia Tech.  He dismissed the notion that one of these three programs is his current favorite.

“Everybody’s think’s Tech’s the leader, but I don’t have a leader.  I don’t have one favorite.  That’s why I put it in alphabetical order,” Hand said.
