If this past recruiting class showed us anything, it's that these local kids are ******* flakes and highly susceptible to being influenced by their hack coaches, money, and other considerations that may drive them away from home. Some of the stuff being said about Cook makes me think he's another problem-child recruit for us. Nonetheless, if Yearby was a mediocre prospect, or even just a good one, I'd think this was a bad move at this point in time (before we have a more concrete picture as to Cook's preferences). But Yearby is far from that -- he's a top-50 national recruit and a top-5 RB in the country and a top-5 player in the state. These are the kids we salivate over, and that we've been missing in recent years. Sign him the **** up. If Cook or Sony think they're better, like a true Cane running back would, then they can come here and compete with him. If they're soft shouldered kids who want to avoid competition, they'll go elsewhere and that's fine -- we'll have a 5-star RB coming in Yearby and another complimentary back.
One of the reasons im cool with the Yearby commit...besides being a good player...one in the hand is worth two in the bush. This kid is no lock to Miami.
