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.

I like Anthony McFarland's tape better if you ask me. I wonder about Lindgards competition.

Lindgard has great feet, vision and explosion to the hole.

He runs high and doesn't have elite break away speed or size.

I like him as a change of pace back but I don't think he's the workhorse that we need to replace Walton.

Like's McFarland's competition in the DMV compared to Lingard who plays in Central Florida.

Now I know you're trippin.

Good thing football is played in pads against opponents. I saw much more angle beating and break away on Mcfarlands film than lingards but keep up the blind homerism. No one is sayimg Lingard sucks. I just dont think hes as good as hes being hyped.

I'm sorry rok, I didn't know you were close to the departed. Should we have the flowers forwarded to your address?

"Mico" is band for a week. And no, it wasn't one thing. It's never one thing. Unless you're spam or that guy who makes a new account every week.

Wait. Didn't you actually say he was overrated as a five star? So we should have nothing to worry about because he's "only" a four star, right?

Good news just brings these trolls right out of the woodwork, doesn't it?

Feb 13, 2017

I'd never heard of Mico before today but going back a few pages in this thread I didn't see anything egregious.

If someone (like myself) isn't 1000% convinced that Lingard is the next great Hurricane RB they should be allowed to say so.

I'm not telling you how to moderate because I could be way off about Mico and what he's been up to, but there should always be room for discourse on a message board. Nobody has outright said they think Lingard sucks, which to me would be evidence of trolling.

There are probably 5+ people who posted in some form that they're not "1000% convinced on Lingard". Every single one of their posts is up and they've not (to my knowledge) been given a single infraction. Having a contrarian opinion is no big deal. Never has been here. In fact a lot of trolls get to live their dreams of sowing misery and discord all day long on any of our fine forums.

I'm not telling you how to post because I could be way off about what your heart is in it. Discourse has plenty of room on this message board. Mico will be back in a week.

They help drive the click count though, so it's a trade off.

Looking of his film, I was thinking he reminded me of Duke before Al fattened him up, but without the stiff arm. Not necessarily style but kid gets going toward the endzone from the first step.

He runs nothing or looks anything like duke johnson. Completely different type of running styles imo.

Like I said, "not necessarily style ...." I mean he get to the six points at earliest possible moment. That is the similarity: he touches the scoreboard long distance.

Gaytor fans feel like they've got a good shot of flipping him due to their recent trend of successfully flipping Cane commits/heavy leans (Kronkite, Scarlett, Henderson, Edwards), and the fact that he's not in Hurricane country. Need to nip those hopes in the bud quick.

See Rok... If you & the rest of your squad aren't trolling, then what's the point of mentioning these guys?

What's the correlation? What exactly are you trying to say by equating these RB's to Lingard?
