Jacob Lichtenstein 6'5" 250lbs 2017 DE from Cypress Bay HS who recently committed to USC(w), would he flip to UM if offered later in the season by the Canes? The young man is a high motor kid who Larry Bluestien is high on. I think the kid has a big upside and under coach Kool could be a JJ Watt or Matt Walters type if he came to Miami.

Things have been very quiet about Miami and him, so I am wondering what some others have heard.

In The Recruiting Huddle: Jacob Lichtenstein – Cypress Bay « CBS Miami

Lichtenstein in a recent interview said he was a USC fan growing up which is why he commuted, however in older interviews he said he was a UM fan growing up.

We don't need him. Our dline class is filled up

Isn't that nice to finally say Miami doesn't need another dlinemen but rather we may want an additional linemen. If there is room later in the class do to roster transfers, why not make a run at a south florida long athletic dlinemen that can grow into a DT who is also a high motor kid that is smart .

Go Canes

kid is just a gym rat, student of the game. He by any chance a coach's son? Has smarts you can't coach.
 
None of the Big 3 want him right now?

From what I read he didn't have a offer from any of the 3 Florida teams.Probably has a huge chip on his shoulder now and wouldn't flip now out of spite.Not sure why he didn't get any Florida offers.
 
If he was black but same exact player would you still compare him to JJ Watt?

Oh don't be that way, the good Miami defenses throughout the years have always had one bad *** white boi this year we will have Jamie Gordinier and we need one for the future defenses so why not Lichtenstein if we have room.

An FYI outside of race the comparison to Watts is valid because of similar athleticism for the size, he is also an effort player, and has a high football IQ. The kid is a grinder who will continue to develop.

USC is taking a small class for 2017 so they would not come across the country for some JAG type player, when they have their pick of so cal.

JJ Watt is an absolute freak of nature athlete at his size, not just an effort player. An effort player is Matt ******* Walters or Trent Harris.

If this kid were anywhere close to JJ Watt, playing where he does, the Big 3 would be all over him.

I'm not saying we shouldnt recruit him because hes white lol. Some UM greats have been white and that has nothing to do with my comment. My point is that you only compared this scrub to JJ Watt because they are both white. JJ Watt is currently the best defensive linemen in the world. It is like comparing Joe Yearby to Todd Gurley just because they're black and they both played for Richt.

Not picking on you in particular just think its funny how everytime we look at a white lb people compare him to Morgan, everytime theres a white wr people compare him to Welker or Edelman. Just very simple minded comparisons and/or terrible evaluating.

Sure, like JJ Watt was in high school: JJ Watt recruiting.webp

You mean this kid isn't playing at Watt's all-pro level right now?

Lies!

JJ Watt went to school in MILWAUKEE. This kid is from South Florida at a heavily scouted program. I'm from Wisconsin. It's not even apples and oranges, it's like comparing an apple to a fish.

Yeah, I doubt he has similar athleticism to Watt. Watt is, as you said, "freak of nature" athletic.
That doesn't mean he's not a good prospect. A USC offer would suggest that he is.
