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.

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?

The correlation here is that RBs rated 5 stars have tended not to warrant that projection. There's some that have recently but more that have not lived up to the hype that comes with being rated so high. Even though Lingard is our guy and we should all be happy to have him, expectations should probably be tempered a bit. And that's just a suggestion. Do what you want.

Man fvck this post. This kid is the goods and a year from now his tape will be indisputable. I live in Hawaii as far away as u can get from miami and Idgaf what people say. Wait for the senior tape then let's talk. The way he handling his business I got nothin but love for this kid. We get him on campus early and richt brown and gus transform this kid into a muthu****in beast and we **** all ova fsu. Fvck uf bama osu and anybody else not with our U and in our way. we don't need to temper ****. This our biggest commit in years. If this kids commitment and actions don't get you hyped then fvck u. It takes guts to put yourself out there and recruit. What more u want from this kid right now? I'll pray this kid is everything we need him to be cuz I love this U. And if u feel different then fvck off. Stop making me post. I like lurking

It's clear from his tweet that he's already been approached with bags.

Wow!

My guess is it's UF, FSU, Bama

What's the significance of the "Fam and peewee coaches" reference?

Wait until The Ambassador starts patrolling the streets on bag watch. Game over. No joke. Where'd this kid come from? Some high end lab tasked with creating the polar opposite of all the negative aspects of today's recruits?
