Just eight days after signing day for the 2017 class, Miami nabbed one of their top targets for the 2018 cycle on Thursday afternoon. 247sports composite five-star running back Lorenzo Lingard announced his commitment to Miami on Twitter a day after visiting Coral Gables.

Lingard hails from Orange City, Florida and attends University High School. He is ranked as the #2 running back in the country and #15 player overall. The 6-1, 190-pound back also has aspirations of competing in the 2020 Olympics. He is the defending state 4A champion in 110M hurdles and looks to take the 300M hurdles crown this year too.

Miami coaches Mark Richt and Thomas Brown have prioritized Lingard from the start – the two visited his school back in mid-January. That same week, coaches from Alabama, Ohio State, UGA and FSU also stopped by for Lingard.

CanesInSight’s Erick Marrero reported yesterday that Lingard seemed to be favoring Miami and Clemson heading into his unofficial visit to UM on Wednesday.

Lingard gives the Hurricanes their 8th commitment of the 2018 class as Richt looks to rack up his finest class at the helm.

What I like about this commitment the most, is that he commited like a savage.. No ghey periscope, no ghey video a week before signing day. No doubt in his mind whatsoever.

jit said I'm commited and shutting this biish down. Anyone want to talk to me talk to my coach or uncle. No drama like other bish *** niqqas not worth mentioning.

My crank is raging.

Lingard will be the true test of my theory that kids from Central and North Florida are a lot less likely to turn into *****ing Trolls or Drama Queens. The only kid to ***** us from these areas in recent memory is Reggie Northrup.

As opposed to kids like Quarterman, Pinckney, McCloud, Norton, Derrick Smith, and Darrion Owens who handled their recruitment with minimal drama.

Pinckney is originally from Carol City, but I agree with what you're saying overall.

Nope i still think i'm failing at this

Ive seriously tried this 5 times now....WTF

ok we'll figure this out haha.

-just go on google or wherever the pic is.
-find your pic.
-right click on the pic, options will pop up.
-click "copy image address"... not copy link address.
-then go into the "post reply" section on canesinsight.
-right click, options will pop up
-click "paste"

it will show the address.

then you have to type this before it

using no spaces. so it should say

make sure you're using these [ ] and not these ( )

dont forget to add / before the img at the end.

so the 1st is

that should hopefully work

Saying how a person runs specifically when he picks up his speed is offensive? ****... cut the sh*t bra.... get your head out of your a55...

Lo's balance reminds me of Portis. Unbelievable ability to maintain body control. Great speed and finishes his runs with authority.

Great job by coach Brown and Richt. Welcome to the U, Mr. Lingard!!!

you made it sound way more complicated.
Easier to just save the picture on to your cpu.
then when you try to post it click the little icon on top that says insert image. Then choose the image from your cpu. simple.
