Peter....2018 JACOB COPELAND??

Not sure I understand the guess that Robert Burns wont see much burn when he hasn't even had 1 practice and the staff is still taking him despite his limited and questionable HS career.

The staff sees something to grant a scholly. We dont have enough spots to just take a kid for the heck of it.

Pete-does Burns ever get meaningful Burn at miami-pun intended

Don't think so

This baffles me. It also scares me because I don't think McFarland is that impressive.

CJ Henderson's recruitment is so bizarre. He's been meh on Miami forever, yet he visits every other day. He's rumored to be a Gator lock but he has t committed. Has he even OV'd there yet?

What's his deal? Does he just love Torian Gray? Is it because of Shannon? Just wants to get away from the city and do his own thing?

Just really strange.

Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z.....

The guy asked Pete's opinion. I share the same opinion as Pete.

If you asked the staff, they'd tell you they think Burns will succeed here. They wouldn't have offered him if they didn't.

Why are you quoting me? I was asking him " um what" because McFarland is a stud.

Dude is electric with the rock

 

[Al Foil]

1. McFarland
2. Homer
3. Burns

That is the "burn" order going forward.

McFarland is a top 5 National Back and has NFL starter upside. Anyone who thinks otherwise is clueless. Best RB we have signed since Duke by far if he comes.

Didn't mean too, thought it was the other guy so take it as I am on your side! He reminds me of Cook by the way he moves just not as explosive but that can be worked on. I hope he gets back to 100% after that injury he had.

I think the biggest reason most aren't too excited about Burns has also got to be his injury history. Constantly getting hurt means you wont do ****. He is without a doubt taking a RS yr imo. Dude needs to get completely healthy and stronger so he doesn't continue getting hurt.

I know there's a million questions about receiver, so here's my take...

I like Evidence Njoku more and more -- it looks like he could be really good.

They have been confident on Smith for months but it's just tough to see that one holding up.

They will flip Harley.

They will land a JUCO prospect.

And they will round out the class with Smith/Jeudy(unlikely but still possible)/a name we haven't heard yet


I know everybody is worried about how they will finish here, but it just does not make ANY sense to me that they're just waiting around not offering anybody. They have to know something that the public doesn't. It's similar to what's happening at OL with the Heritage kids and part of my reasoning for being so confident on them along with other things I've heard. If they felt like they were screwed, we would see them scrambling and they obviously don't see that right now.

why another JUCO WR ?

Dayall Harris part 2...

Yeah if you think like that then you 100% miss out on guys like:

DeDe Westbrook
Duke Williams
Cordarrelle Patterson
Jaelen Strong

Just to name a few recent ones that we'd kill to have for next season.

exactly. my friend was Jaelen's position coach in HS. he was actually a running back, didnt become WR until JUCO. he was telling me how underrated he was and he will be a monster at FBS level. i laughed but the kid was great at ASU and is on the Texans getting burn.

not to be that guy on my first post...but I dont think that's right on Strong. He set the city all-star game record for receiving yards in HS and that team had the two holloman brothers at RB, who were beasts (one went to kansas). Not that any of this effects the main point.

Didn't Frank Gore have injury issues in HS too? I know he did in college but it turned out alright [emoji51]

Why isn't Vero Beach WR Mike Smith not getting a look. 67 receptions 1,561 yards, 24 TD's this year. Plus he's 6'3" and 215lbs. I've seen him in person 4 times this year and he is about as legit as it gets.

His best offer on Scout is UCONN, and on 247 it's Indiana. It doesn't look like any of the major programs are looking at him hard yet, though according to 247 ND is starting to take an interest. Vero traditionally produces pretty good talent. What's the low down on Smith? He has size, and obviously produces, how fast is he?

And those injuries carried over in college. He was supposed to be the starting RB for us in 2002. Had he been healthy we win the championship.
But comparing Frank Gore, the best RB to ever come through Miami to Robert Burns is a little silly.

Let me clarify: McFarland is a nice AP back, but I put him in the same stack as Walton. Good but not elite. I'm obviously in the minority here. I still think (counting the guys projected in this class) that Homer has the most upside among the backs on the roster.

This is mind boggling , his film blows a lot of higher rated guys film away. Kid is big, runs good routes , good speed and soft hands.

Seems like the cat that goes to a smaller school and ends up stud. Kinda like the kid at W Michigan.

Before his injury bama was on this kid hard as fuq. If we get our problems fixed on the OL walton homer mac and burns will be able to run through it. I think mac is alot like homer and walton.....hes as explosive as homer if not more and is like walton with way better vision

Burns looks like a monster in those brief highlights.
