The fans got spoiled by Duke Johnson and they think every top rated back can walk right in and do the same. It's not that simple. Duke had a polished all around skillset before he got on campus. Chaney and Knighton might be on par as athletes but not as football players. The star ratings reflect that - Duke was a 5* and these guys aren't.

Yea also RB is a position that an under rated guy can come in and be better then the 5 star.

Duke was a pure stud and not taking ANYTHING from him. Best rb highlight tape I’ve seen. But You know knighton like the 2nd all time leader in broward history right? To add to that point both Chaney/knighton have better builds physically and knighton has better top end speed in the 40 despite being bigger than duke. Chaney might have duke in that regard too despite being about 25 pounds heavier than duke was entering Miami(Chaney 210 right now). Furthermore not really seeing this lack of polish from knighton. We will see if you are right on that. Lingard was rated a 5 star and he wouldn’t even be a top 10 back in this specific rb class so I’m not sure that says much of anything. He was rated as a 5 star and was anything but polished entering Miami so that’s not the tell all be all. I like Both of these guys more than i did Lingard tbh in terms of athleticism, skill set and film🤷🏾‍♂️

No one is assuming either will dominate going in right away BUT it’s no reason to think that they absolutely can’t given their individual talent and the opportunity available. Will be interesting but these 2 are easily the best overall athletes at running back out of south Florida since dalvin cook. I know Scarlett edge both in the 40 yard dash in highschool but he’s not in the same category in terms of athleticism or even a football standpoint


PLUS, rivals has a rb like Kendall Milton who plays nothing but sh*tty competition and runs a 4.7 plus 40 as the#2 rb 5 star in this class. That’s bullsh*t, is he better then guys like tank bigsby, bowman , Chaney and others? **** no. It looked like he plays middle schoolers every week

Canes must not have ponied up the subscription fee this year so they bounced others in front to appease their fanbases.

This prob it gator fans was harrassing this dude for litterly a month non stop about dexter getting a 5 star. Maybe he was a 5 star but the point is you can clearly see how this **** goes down. Every new rankings. If you commmit to some school with high subscriptions they get a star bump.
 
All the talk of Chaney, I would say Rooster is missing instead. Whatever, it would be a nice thing to get a top 100 ranking, but that doesn't determine their careers.

I thought Lingard would kill it and look. I think with the more evals some people saw holes in his game and also put our OL and staph in front of him. I actually think Knighton will be better especially in a spread

What's sadly ironic is that Lingard may have been a better fit than Chaney in our new offense. Pretty sure Knighton will fit well.

Parrish I wanted but I guess they though Knighton and chaney. If Parrish outplays them this fan base will go insane

People be funny, had we got Parrish but missed on a higher rated south Florida running back like Chaney and knighton people would have been complaining that “we couldn’t close on the elite kids” and got the plan b but not plan a guys. Can’t have it both ways

I liked Parrish alot but I was ok cause of Chaney and Knighton. Had we gotten one of the three I would be saying that's stupid. People always say u can't get them all and two of three is good because they were considered elite.

Knightons a great fit man for this new O. I'm excited to see the spread the real spread at the U finally.
 
Was looking at Rivals and it seems like numbnuts is going full Tom Lemming handing out higher grades based on schools that kids are committed to. I mean they have Chaney listed at 175, kid was likely that weight as a sophomore.
 
Who was it that said Chaney took himself out of games? Sounds like he has personal durability issues. Does he really love football or just play it cause he's good at. What happened to Chaney during the army game? All n all we will find out about these guys soon enough.

Another thing is nothing is really known about Diaz as a talent evaluator overall since he runs the show. Doesn't help that je's surrounded himself around some weird *** coaches. I mean he has co-dc but both them clowns are on the sideline. Who the *** is in the press box? If he undervalues that get rid of his ads now and save the heartache.
