Lavonte Whitfield

[CanesAreAble]

My only concern with this staff is I hope they're not neglecting speed and athletes, in the quest to build the big and powerful team AG wants to put on the field. Among many other things, Miami football is built on speed.

I don't think that's a concern. We're bringing in plenty of burners.

Kermit had an offer and he de-committed.

**** is on him at this point.

I couldn't agree more. I like the kids speed and game....but he chose to decommit.

we brought in a lot of pretty big WRs last year. You always need to have that smaller+speedster type WR to mix it up with. Guys like Santana & Sinorice Moss, Parrish, and Benjamin.

Another recruit that might just be a casualty of a small class.

Seems true.

Do you feel Cunningham is the answer if you are talking polished wr??? Count me in the group that would like to have Whitfield. Cunningham looks like a big possession type target but no where near the ability of a Coley.

Coley doesn't have that FSU speed though. you still want him?

I like what Kermit would bring to the O. A shiftier speed guy would round out the WR core nicely. Still, if the staff goes another direction, I could live with it.

Coley and Whitfield on the field at WR for FSU would be a bad thing for us. The last time they had that much speed on the field was when Peter Warrick and Lavernaeus Coles were there in 98...the last time they won a title.

The last time we had that much speed on the field at WR was when Sinorice Moss and Roscoe Parrish were here. They both put up pretty good numbers while at UM not just as WR's, but in the return game. Imagine the speed we would have had if we could have played Hester at more WR along with those two...but that's another story (thank you, Coker).

We need to get Whitfield, just for the pure fact that you can't teach his elite speed. If he's Roscoe Parrish or Travis Benjamin and that's it, I'd be happy. If he's Sinorice (or dare I say it, Santana) Moss, I'd be ecstatic. The problem with Kermit no matter where he ends up is that he really needs to work on his route running. He's got pretty good hands already, but all he really knows how to do if you watch his highlights is run the Go route and outrun the coverage. If you can teach a dude like him to run crisp short/intermediate routes with his speed to set up the double-moves to go deep, he becomes a deadly weapon (see Chicago Bears' version of Hester).

Ol flacid back at it again?
