RB Shekai Mills-Knight building bond with Coach Merritt

[Dwinstitles]

Yea it's definitely all up upside with this monster

BL is tiny and will get pushed around imo at this level, but thats my opinion. Good back but that other dude looks like a different tier. Thats the type of RB u see bama UGA OSU with and destroying teams on the ground.

@DMoney Bank Update from June 7

- In terms of RBs, Byron Louis (American Heritage) seems to have more buzz than Shekai Mills-Knight (Chatanooga) right now. Miami was really impressed with Louis on the visit. It's possible Miami goes with only RB due to their evaluations of Girard Pringle (Seffner, FL) and Jordan Lyle (STA). The staff is extremely high on both.

The Bank (6/7)

Everyone is understandably eager for a run of commitments. I get the sense that the movement will come closer to late June-early July, as players get their visits in. It seems to be a national trend. But I'll start with some names with positive momentum. - Miami views OL Cortez Smith (Atlanta)...

If I am being honest, Mills-Knight has some tendencies I don't like... like how he stops his feet too much (especially in the backfield) and how he seems too eager to bounce things outside. I like his physicality in pass blocking, though, so I suspect he's just more athlete than RB at this point. Regardless, the upside is obvious with that athletic profile and size.

Naw man he's already like 200lbs I believe bigger than Lyle, but that other guy Mills-Knight probably be 230lb plus in college

MK looks like a legit fast dude, has to be 4.4ish unless I am way off here. Unless he slow asf and I have no idea wtf I’m looking at, pause

I heard that mf ran a 10.8 or 10.9 in the 100 meter at that size , he could dam near be 230lb here and faster than Fletcher and Martinez. That's that Bama, UGA type back no doubt

But does he have patience, vision, contact balance. These traits are also needed. Gotta find holes and not go down always on first contact. We've been missing those rb's lately.

Very good point we won't know that until guy gets to campus about the vision. Since the high school clips only show their great plays

Just like last year when we turned up the press Lyle after Sr year

Take and stack…if we end up with 3 RB’s in class, not a bad thing. We can bring them in waves.

We're not taking another back according to Gaby.

Seems like Cristobal maybe happy with what he is got at RB but also wants room to maneuvre in the portal.

He's the big back the staff wanted also. Impressed on his visit.
