5-star RB Lingard commits to Miami

[CaneFanNJ]

Now they just have to fend off every other program in the country for a year.

I temper my excitement over recruits committing this early. But if it sticks, man what a get for this staff.

This^^^^^^

So what would you rather this situation be? A silent commit? We saw how great those worked this past year....

The only way to assure everyone that he's 100% coming is an early signing period. I treat verbals and silents the same. Never get too amped on it, til a signature is at the school. Because everyone after a verbal becomes a recruiting expert.

We all see how this story goes 9 times out of 10. Kid commits insanely early, especially in the case of his cousin 2+ years early. With Lingard, he's already highly sought after and he will hold what an offer from every major D1 program if he doesn't already. He will take his visits, because he should to other schools. People on this board will incessantly & moan at that fact because he's not allowed to exploit the system in front of him.

Well there's no early signing period. So I'd rather him hop on board now then not at all.

And you said what would I rather the situation be?

What's with EVERYONE's fascination with tearing EVERY opinion down when they don't agree with yours. Big ******* deal, I said great get but its still a year out. Harley shut down his commitment too in early January. It swung in Miami's favor but he did the same thing Lingard is doing, if he's truly shutting down his recruitment. Which we know is also something that doesn't exist.

You nerds can downvote everything you want. But spare me the "i'd rather he hop on board now then not at all" nonsense, because a verbal means absolutely nothing.

If you had to compare him to someone, who would it be?

He has a pretty unique running style. Maybe Darren McFadden?

This, when he takes off its like watching McFadden when he was at Arkansas. Also feel like I see a bit of Warrick Dunn when he cuts and weaves through traffic.

Actually just discussed this topic with D$ through text. Really can't put my finger on his running style. Certainly, reminiscent of the "big athlete style of RB," like Mcfadden, Gurley, etc. But, still something different about his lean. His cutbacks aren't always clean or lateral like you see with other guys.

Just a different kind of runner and can't wait to see more. I'm not necessarily a fan of these styles, as I didn't love Gurley's, but I easily concede they can be just as effective or more (depending on the athlete) than the 5' 10ish 215ish, low to the ground guys I grew up fascinated by. We shall see how he continues to develop.

Richt gets who he wants a running back think about it...
Knoshown Moreno 4star
Caleb king 5star back(didn't turn up being that good)
Washaun ealy( was supposed to be good but did not do good in college or as what was expected
Isaiah Crowell 5star
Keith Marshall 5star
Todd gurley high 4star
Nick Chubb 5star
Sony Michel 5star
And many more other 4star backs in between all of that

Kid is a great get. Has some ways to go before he is considered an elite track guy (his times are good but not in the burns category) but the fact he ran a 10.8 100m as a 10th grader is tremendous.

I'm still trying to better understand his other times. Specifically, at The Opening. His short shuttle wasn't what I expected. Not that he's all that shifty, but he looks like a tremendous athlete otherwise.

Some times that stuck out to me...

60m - 7.02 (outdoor as an 11th grader). For comps, Santana set a school record at the time with a 6.72 outdoor

60m H - 13.94 PR (outdoor as an 10th grader) . For comps, Artie Burns ran a 13.35 as a HS SR.

yup, not a huge fan of his straight up running style. Almost feels like he is too exposed in a sense. But watching him cut, bob, and weave through traffic like he's on roller skates is just mesmerizing. I feel like I've seen someone run exactly like Lingard and I can't put a finger on who. He looks amazing on film though. Wish I was in the state of Florida to see some of these guys play.

I assumed you would give me an actual realistic situation.

If you're that against verbal commitments and the ebbs and flows of recruiting, then maybe you shouldn't come on this board except for once a year.

It's just weak to complain about this kid committing early. Arguably the best recruit from our cycle last year was DJ Johnson and he committed eight months before NSD. N'kosi Perry would have been committed to us for a year and half but wanted to open things up with a coaching change.

Those are really stand out times. It doesn't jive at all with a near 4.5 in the shuttle, but it doesn't matter, I guess. Film shows what we need to see.

that's a weighty claim. i'd counter that more often than not, verbals mean a whole heck of a lot actually.

Tweed did his part times two. Brooklyndee, you're on the clock. And don't tell me that **** about "I'm gonna let him make the best decision for him" bullshyt. You're up, cutty.

[MENTION=12910]Brooklyndee[/MENTION] I'm with Chise on this man. I know you don't want to come on too strong. But you know **** well his best option is this U. Whether he sees it or not, it is the U. We counting on you bruh. You gotta let the boy know all it has done for you.

I've been following recruiting and the game for a long time so I know the give & take nature of the whole thing. And you asked me for a realistic situation, when since you're a recruiting expert know that there isn't an actual situation where a verbal agreement is binding and means 100% a kid is coming to the school you root for. I gave you what should be done, which could happen in the future.

And I didn't complain at all, I actually was happy but said calm the excitement til its 100% and said its a great get, because unless you're with these recruits you don't know what they're thinking day to day or month to month. You just wanted to cherry pick part of what I posted because it didn't fit your entitled narrative. So please spare me this Crootin' entitlement kick you seem to be on telling me what I should and should not check on here. Your opinions on the matter are no different or important as mine or anyone else's post on this thing.

Great get, as long as he sticks. Worries me he committed so early wit the big guns out there still. Long way until signing day, but great way to get some momentum so real. Will be a very long year waiting for the LOI.

Big guns out there? Stfu lol. Miami been leading for months... and it's rbu

When Bama and OSU, UGA, also UF, which not sure of considers a big boy right now, start coming on when it counts that is what I am worried about. Just glad now FSU is loaded at the position, no longer worried about them anymore. We can cross them off the list. Also Clemson looks in real good shape with Zamir White, so don't think we have to worry about them either. Like I said, will be satisfied WHEN/IF the LOI is received next year. A good get for now, not going to start doing cart wheels yet, lets just see what happens next year around this time.

Upright running styles can be successful. Eric ****erson had an upright running style. Seemed to work well for him. Impressive film.

Okay man. So since there's no early signing period, what would you rather this Lingard situation be right now?

 

[gabednconfused]

Runs like Bobby Washington did in highschool if anyone remembers him. Upright but real smooth laterally.

Then again, Gus the bus ran like him and look where hes at...

Miami's in the pole position( great video game) and I'll take that all day...

Unexpected great news. Congrats to the young man and his family.

I dont care how he runs. He produces and his 10+ yards per tells me all I need to know.

As an early detractor, I'll gladly eat crow here.

@All Gata lurkers: get the dek, faqquits.

 

[Fawk_U Haters]

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

DAS WASSUP
