I would take all 3 of those guys and be **** happy. Knighton is a huge athletic kid and the other two obviously have been discussed quite a bit.

JHall what else can you tell me about Knighton. Been off the radar until lately.

I haven't even heard of this Knighton dude. Lemme go check him out, my opinion will soon follow. You'll want to stick around for it.

His highlights are mostly defense so it's been tough to get relevant game film on the kid so you kinda just have to go by what you hear from some good sources.

There's some up north recruiting guys that have been saying whoever gets this kid is getting an absolute steal.
 
ESPN talks about him as a defensive tackle... Is Miami's 100% intending on him coming in to play offense?

He's pretty impressive on the defensive side of the ball. Based on his athletic ability, body type, and what little they show of him at LT.... I would compare him to Nate Solder.

Seems that way. He played a lot of DE.

He's already 6-6 260+ with athleticism so tackle seems logical but you never know I guess.

Any idea where we stand on Knighton? Good chance?

Yes very good chance. He seemed like he wanted to commit but he has coaches coming in to visit him this week and is going to wait until this week to decide. He said he is 99% sure of where he wants to go

Nice, thanks. Just seems like a player that isn't highly ranked because he played multiple positions and some schools are recruiting him at different spots.

anything on Wozniak? interested to hear what he had to say to see if we can glean anything on where he stands on the UM board. Wonder if he could commit if he wanted

Nothing too crazy. Had a good time. Have the visit an 8 and half out of 10. Purdue and Miami still at the top. Wants to take his other visits and decided just before NSD. I honestly would be surprised if he is in this class.
 
knighton is to slow for defense unless he gets alot stronger to play the strong side end, he does plays with open hips which is why kehoe wants him. Now if he hits the utough S&C program hard over the next 2yrs he could develop into a JJ Watts type edge setting DE, in which case he just needs to be strong and quick with a high football IQ. But the main thing with him is, I think becuase of space he needs to be a EE for Jan or they may not accept his commit just yet. Which could be why he is waiting until this week or the next to give both himself and staff time to see where everyone is in the process. I do think he has lots of potential, I just question his competition in watching his highlights it looks like he is pop warner teams or jv sqads, he does dominate the competition most times.

Go Canes
