Pickup basketball? I played with a kid who ended up making it to the NFL. I used to beat him 1 on 1 in basketball lol Some guys just can't hoop lol

That’s cool. Could he at least dribble….

No lol I know exactly what you're talking about. It blew my mind as well.

There's a reason he's playing DB and offense

All I’m saying is I’d expect a power 5 corner to be a bit more coordinated. Not just dribbling. Kid can def jump and has a good body type.

I’ve also played pick up with Tyrne Matthieu and it was obviously he was who he was. Even though he reeked of cigs.

When I was with the Miami basketball team back in 2008-2012, we have had multiple football guys stopping by the gym and man, they looked like Sandy from Along Came Polly.

Gaby in today's Through the Smoke podcast says it's telling that he camped here and is OVing here so soon after committing to WVU. Gaby reading between the lines says Miami is where he wants to be and he feels if Miami presses, he flips from WVU.

Also says he's visited campus numerous times.

 

[Coach Macho]

Macho, for Lucas, why no (apparent) interest from Miami?

No clue, bro.
He's probably the biggest freak (DB wise) in South Florida. He's a legit 6'2" 190lbs+ and ran an electronic 4.5 forty.

He's gonna be a 200+ pound Safety in college.

And he's got offers from everybody. I think he's a strong FSU lean though.

Possibly, they do say that the best defense is a good offens..........ive odor or something like that.

Ranked #931 on On3 Composite

Unranked nationally on 247, ESPN, Rivals

FIU and UCF listed on his prediction machine but does list an FSU/Ole Miss offer.

He will get his chance to get noticed now that he is at STA

 

[The U is back to work]

He’s committed to West Virginia

I meant outside of his committed team and Miami.

 

[lindend]

Even though he committed to WVU about a week ago, he's going to make final decision "soon".

Rasta seemingly randomly retweeted this late last night and he was described as a "late bloomer" on Flo's show last night.

This is incredible lmao.

Lmfao this is the type of analysis I wish Mel Kiper provided ‘good player. Fluid. Reeked of cigs at LA fitness court 2’

This was legit when he left LSU and before he was drafted. I think he was living and staying with Patrick Peterson family in Deerfield. That must have been 10+ years ago.

I can vividly remember him guarding me and just thinking

“wow this guy is a freak athlete”

then immediately after

“that’s gotta be Marlboro Reds”

Through the Smoke podcast, Gaby says he feels good about a flip here. Mirror image of the Barney recruitment (just like @DMoney said). Lot to work with him from a skills standpoint/very "toolsy". Not a CB1, but an excellent CB3 candidate after a red shirt.

There are a LOT of people excited about this one. Miami is in a very good place.
