i think you can play all 4 in different variety of ways and when they leave they cqan kill it at the combine, in training camps, preseasons and so and on so forth. Now if he does the little things then he'll make it on any of the 32 teams in the league guaranteed so right now it's just about does he have the mindset for it because I don't believe he doesn't think he can play here no way

If he does have all of those aspirations that you cite, then he will have to go to a big-time program, and at all of those big-time they will be recruiting
big-time backs every year.
The earth doesn't stop spinning once you sign with a school.
If anything, one needs to worry about succeeding recruiting cycles because 1-2 years after you sign, if they find a back equally or more talented,
they will go with him, especially if he is a local.
So why bother worrying about how many other backs will be in your class?
It is a stupid logic (if that is what is being fed to him).
Too many unknowns. Duke and Yearby decisions and performance. The unknown of some future elite RB that could come 2016 our 2017 and take everyone's lunch money and never look back. Cronkrite could come in here and steal the spot himself, and down the road Scarlett our Williams transfer.
Bruh, I understand what you're saying, but it's gonna be tough to play at Miami at RB. WR is different you can load up on WR's all day, but they only used Duke and Crawford in important games, OT & Gus didn't really see the field unless it was an injury or garbage time. Unless he shines in camp and is THE GUY, he won't get many oppertunities to show NFL scouts.
Them saying we are going to use all 3 backs sounds like BS they are mainly gonna run 2 guys (and sparingly a 3rd) like every major college team (Bama, UGA, S.Car, Ect).
Miami fan reads that recruit reads the board then posts multiple reasons why the recruit shouldn't come to Miami. Sounds legit.

Good advice Cronk is getting. UM has had a lot of trouble getting players drafted and noticed by the NFL the last 25 years.
I'm not close to the situation so can't really comment on most of this.
All I know is that the people around Miami really like Cronkrite. He has the mental approach and physical skillset they look for.

And it's not like tough fans are exclusive to UM. In fact, they're a lot tougher and nastier in areas where there is more focus on football than there is with UM fans. If these dudes are getting their feelings hurt by the classy UM fan base what will they do when they start getting death threats at some redneck SEC school?
Dudes act like UM fans are the only ones who say dumb **** on the internet. The internet is 99 percent stupid **** and rumors. That's everywhere not just here.

Crawford, OT and Gus aren't the backs that these 4 are naturally and none of those 3 were good enough to really take touches away from Duke. This group is stud like and if they all bust their asses they will all be better then the rbs we have except for Duke obviously. Sad thing though is what you said can be used as a way to get to Cronks head
I remember Maurice catching a lot of flak from myself and others back when Cronkrite committed because he was obnoxious about his belief that Cronk isn't very good. He's pretty much alone on an island with that ridiculous stance, but that's probably why he's posting reasons why he shouldn't come to Miami.

I'd love for Cronkrite to be a Cane, regardless of wht happens with Walton.
He might not be better overall than Walton, but he has better burst. That goes a long way.

People doubting this kid are lunatics. I can reiterate what D$ posted because one of my friends on the staff (I actually sent him Jordan's junior tape before he got his offer to make sure they were on him) says they absolutely love Cronk. That being said I think Jordan might be selling himself short here. He's as good if not better than Scarlett, Dexter or Walton. He keeps putting in the work that he is and he'll be getting plenty of snaps the moment he steps foot on campus. Its easy to doubt and think you'll be lost in the shuffle but once you get on campus the best players are the ones who are going to play. He keeps up what he's doing and he'll be just fine.

I didn't say he wasn't good, I said "He Will Not Start for the University of Miami at RB if all the backs stay committed" because I think they are all all better than he is.
And I said he will be the next Mike James (who didn't start until senior year)
What's wrong with saying that?

Cronkrite is more talented than Mike James.
Because fans are fanatics and the future players are always viewed better than they really are. Just look at the Scarlett thread, he was a joke and overrated. Now that he is a Cane, posters are saying he is the second coming of Willis. As long as Cronkite is a Cane he is the man. Once he decommits, if he does I should have said, then that tune wil change. Same exact thing happened with Yearby last year. People said that he wasn't even a Miami caliber player when he was committed to FSU. On the same note people were hailing D Turner as a diamond in the rough because of his impressive highlights, which in reality was him running a 9 route and getting very separation or YAC.

Please explain what you see in Mark Walton since you think he is the best RB out of everyone, as of right now your scouting seems a little flawed IMO at least when it comes to RB... The fact that you degraded Mike James and he actually looked very good when he started in the NFL lead many of us to believe you have no idea what your talking about

Seems to have more burst, top end speed, and wiggle then James ever had. Reminds me a little of Gio Bernard.
