Brandon Powell de-commits from Tennessee; commits to UM

[JHallCanes]

But guysm, how many spots do we has left??









/awesome pick up

That's not a huge deal now because some guys will not be here NSD. Plus since he will be an EE I don't even think he counts against this class right?

I was being 1,000% sarcastic. Sorry. I just had to get it out of the way before someone else said it.

Its August. #'s and commitments don't mean **** right now.

You guys better stop gassing up Hurlie before n $EC schools swoops him up!

Hurlie Brown cried when Al Golden offered him the chance to become the Hurricanes’ running backs coach.

Since Brown was bitten by the coaching bug as a UM graduate assistant in 1992, his professional goal was to become an assistant coach at Miami.

“I had tears in my eyes when he offered it to me because it was a dream come true,” said Brown, a hard-hitting safety for UM from 1988-91 who won two national championships with the Hurricanes. “I’ve been working the last 20 years to be in this position and now I get a chance to do it.”

“I’ve been working since 1993 to come back to the University of Miami as an assistant coach. Everything I’ve done is with that in mind. I’ve always had a purpose and that was my purpose. To me, this is a dream come true. I must be the happiest man in the world to be back at the University of Miami, coaching at my alma mater with these guys and this staff.”

Hes not going anywhere. He could also coach linebackers or DBs in the future if we needed him too.

lol yeah alright... I bet Hurlie would cry when he sees an $EC check too!!

Only 2.0 you'll ever see by Grooms name.

That's impressive work right there.

That's well done.

Like the pick-up but not quite as enthused as others. I prefer somewhat bigger backs. Leonard Conley was good but a bit too small for me. One of the assistant coaches confided to a friend back in the day that Conley's body was so small they worried about his ability to protect the football. This kid seems to find daylight but I'm not sure he has jets. I'd want to see that in a smaller back. Still, the fact he's the best available senior back says something, plus that report I read somewhere about his performance at a camp where he performed on a level with Collins, Lane and Cook. Still would like to get Cook. So for me it's a plus, but not super pickup. Hope I'm wrong.

this is about where I'm at. the kid is not overly exciting to me as a RB prospect due to the size/lack of top end speed combo

he has amazing one cut ability and change of direction. his first step is very quick BUT he is nowhere in the same universe as Duke Johnson in terms of RB prospects. the kid looks like a DB

at the end of the day he is probably a slot/RB tweener IMO

this sums it perferct! lol

So he has amazing cutting ability, change of direction and a good initial burst (first step) but because he's not as good a prospect as one of the best high school players ever you don't like the pick up? OK.

No thats not why i dont like him. He (Powell) was talking about being used like Duke in an interview. thats why i brought up Duke

the kid (Powell) needs to put on a lot of weight to be a RB at this level. right now he looks like a DB

As far as size and skill. Reminds me of the Rogers? Twins Oregon state ? I think

 

[Boarcane]

He was solid to Clemson forever even while taking visits to every school he could just like right now...... yeah that really meant something. Im not worrying about him now because he will be a constant question but seriously nobody should just say he's solid because he changes his mind all the time

sorry man but USC has a better shot at him than us right now. We are not in the game.

That is not true at all.

lol Pete you know, as of right now we are NOT in it. You troll with the best of them.....

There is room to make up, but to say Miami is not in it and that USC is ahead of Miami is just wrong

PETE?
Cook has USC ahead of Miami "Just wrong" hu? Guess I was a week early.... Link provided: http://www.canesinsight.com/threads/54911-Some-Recruiting-Stuff
Dalvin Cook
Roland Smith says he takes calls from Miami, FSU, USC, Texas, and Alabama regarding Cook
Smith believes Cook will take OVs to these schools in January
Cook says he'll take OVs to USC and Alabama in the fall
Cook's top 3 in order: Florida, USC, Texas
Miami and Louisville continue to recruit Cook as well
Was in the ears of Anthony Moten and Chris Lammons about Florida over the weekend

Just because USC is ahead "right now" doesn't mean they have a better shot at landing him. Again, really don't see what your point in arguing is. His family wants him here and they will continue to recruit the **** out of him. Miami has a better shot than USC it's that simple. It's unlikely he leaves UF, but if he does it would be Miami.

I said right now. Read my text : "sorry man but USC has a better shot at him than us right now. We are not in the game." lol I'm done
Go Canes
Time for the attack and flames to begin lol

And Duke looks like Jerome Bettis?
Size isn't an absolute necessity. Gio Bernard tore our *** up and he's around 200.
Not every back is Willis McGahee.
Christ, give the kid a chance to get out of high school, before relegating him to obscurity.

It's a ridiculous and stupid claim. I live in Nashville, so I deal with SEC lunatics regularly. This is par for the course. Remember, someone was shot and murdered after Bama lost to Auburn. Someone called in and threatened half of UTs starting line up on the morning radio show...but we have issues right? Spare me.

When our fans do this stuff, they're idiots. I'm not even trying to debate that. Like you said, I'm just sick of people insinuating that we have somehow cornered the market on this type of douchebaggery.
