Guys I have heard [MENTION=12910]Brooklyndee[/MENTION] talk about his nephew but I do not know which recruit he is. Is he a 2018 class guy? and if so who is he? Thanks !

Think there's a very good chance you are. Why do you think so?

I just don't view his film and come away saying, "that has to be the best RB in the nation this year."

Very good player obviously but honestly don't see why he's rated 5*.

You're really having a bad week.

First you're pimping radio and Bell, talking about how they're going to crush it in recruiting in South Florida.

Now this.

Take the rest the day off, get some rest, and get your shīt together for next week - cause you're not thinking right

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.

I'm fairly certain Moss' time was run indoor. 60m is rarely run outdoor, though it appears Lingard's recent time was from an outdoor 60m event.

I'd say his times are very good, but not great...yet. 7.02 puts Lingard 3 meters or so behind a 6.72 at the finish. McFarland, who many said was slow, ran a 6.84 60 in h.s.

Burns' time is 5-6 meters ahead at the finish (I also think Burns' 13.35 was during his 11th grade season). Walter Tucker ran a 13.80 in the 110m hurdles in h.s. I'd like to see Lingard surpass that time this season. I'll start thinking his personal best in the 110m is great when he goes under 13.8.

Well, I just disagree. The kid averaged over 11 yards per carry and already has recorded some pretty **** good track times, mostly as a sophomore.

We'll see, but I think you'll come around. He's going to be even more ridiculous when he puts on some more weight imo.

I'm not the only one that's doubting his 5* elite status. Trust me.

Very happy he committed to Miami though.

Just a point of note here. Some guys get slower in pads and some guys don't seem to lose much when they put the pads on.

It's weird.

Jesus Wept. Based on what bro?

Based on watching his tape. I see a dude who runs away from people, which is great, but I'm honestly not completely blown away when I watch him like one should be for a 5*.

Sorry not sorry.

IYO What is he missing?

If I had to pick one reason why I think he's slightly overrated it would be his propensity for running high. Looks a bit robotic at times.

Good point on Santana - it was an indoor time. I'm fairly sure the mcfarland 60m time cited was also indoor. The Lorenzo time is outdoor. Not sure how much of a difference that is in time. Lorenzo is a great athlete but still has a ways to go especially when comparing him to burns and others.

I love the fact that he runs short sprints including hurdles and long hurdles (300m).
