DL Daylen Russell commits to Miami

[Zbrod95]

Seems like a connections pick and a makeup to Columbus to me. As long as it doesn’t the numbers down the line I don’t mind the take. Hope he can prove me wrong tho.

Also do we have the official measurements for him, I thought Gaby and maybe some others just got a look at him.

He‘s now 270. My thing isn’t size. It’s athleticism.

Yeah, but that’s a tape thing. I can see those traits/ lack of on his tape. I was just wondering if we had confirmed in person measurements of height and weight

you're blinded by the 3 star rating and being overdramatic

Eh he’s not that good either tho, but I have no bone in this fight. Im in pure wait and watch mode with Miami football right now lol

I have entire threads bumping kids that were ranked lower than this kid already is and saying they should be way higher.

Find another common retort to use. That one doesn’t apply to this poster.

Take your disdain to another thread. This is the kids commitment thread. Geez some of you mfs are miserable.

Ball out kid. None of this matters once the U on your helmet. You got my support

 

[Problem2]

Eh. Mario has shown he has no problem dropping guys

What's to hate with taking a flyer? If he blows up, you got in early. If he doesn't, no harm done and the DL class is still on track to be elite.

No write up? @DMoney or @Peter Ariz?

Finally a post based on reality.

Guess we’ll see what happens

Was wondering the same thing especially given this wasn't a secret.

Biggest indictment.

Not disagreeing, but can you provide any examples of players that he dropped that he also directly recruited.

Kid wants to be at Miami. Mario and Co. want him at Miami. Good enough for me.

Spoiler: Welcome to THE U

And if he doesn't pan out, he won't be the first. Until them I wish him all the best.

Defensive player of the year in Dade. Got to be doing something right

Good pick up

Bain and Westley were also players of the year when they came out

I see a trend

Bain just came out last year?

And Russell was defensive player of that year?

Is it a class by class thing

Interesting take considering all the talk about “multiple 5 star DT’s” are all but guaranteed to be in this class. They must think he has massive upside.

I think this tells us (again) that we are looking to take a BIG *** DL class. Let's say we get visits from say, eight 4 or 5-star DL and hit on three of them. Or ****, let's be generous, lets say we get 10 visits and hit on four of them. Those are very, very successful hit rates.

What if we want to take say, 6-8 DL? There has been unconfirmed talk that we want 4 DT's alone.

If they like this kid, if they think he will be a valuable addition to the program, then we're pretty much talking about him only having to be the 8th best DL or worse that we can land before it becomes a mistake. We want numbers. We NEED numbers. There is no way we're getting enough highly ranked (ugh) prospects to fill a massive class like this. Think of him as Frankie or Tripp.

It's crazy to watch how triggered some people get here. Just zoom out and give it a think and there is usually a way to make sense of it all.

I believe We’re gonna be signing a big class. Need good players and great players.

 

[Angry Ibis]

Biggest indictment.

Takes longer to do write ups you may have to walk back later if you’re not careful…

 

[lf26soda]

This class flagg

 

[supacane]

Ill take solace that he has some long arms. Same thing i saw on Wayne and Kinsler. Im not gonna blow one over this chap and everyone has a basis to question the take. Ill just wait and see. Maybe he is a one of Golden era words.....coal shoveler lol.
