I said that Yearby looked like a young McGahee in the spring time and I was laughed at. Fact is..he looks like a YOUNG McGahee. Willis was not 6'1 230 ON ANY DAY while at UM. He came in at 200lbs as a freshmen out of Central. He left here at about 220lbs. Again, we are talking strictly body type. Not speed. So yes I agree, Yearby has the body type of a YOUNG willis mcgahee. Lets hope he plays half as good as willis did.

you are still being laughed at. Last time Willis weighted 200 was probably sophmore year of HS. According to 2 sites I checked, he was listed at 215 as a HS senior when he signed his LOI.

HurricaneWarriors.com - Recruiting Classes 2000

Hurricanes Add D.J. Williams To Football Recruiting Class - University of Miami Hurricanes Official Athletic Site

He wsa listed at 224 as a sophmore.

Player Bio: Willis McGahee - University of Miami Hurricanes Official Athletic Site

And yes, he was weighing at 230 at and around the time he was drafted:

Their frames are NOTHING alike. Gus is closer to Willis than Yearby is. Yearby won't be heavier than 210-212 by the time he leaves college, imo.

Why do all of these giants let the ball reach their bodies? Go up and snatch it you god **** giant

Hard to tell from the size of that image (Larger image on Hurricanes Football twitter) but it looks like he may have caught it with his hands and brought it too his body. Hard to say though. It looks like he out jumped the fade with that 40+ vert and had to adjust. Kaaya will learn to get that higher to him and Njoku is still raw.

Lol. He really does look like a miniature version of that other [URL=https://www.canesinsight.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2]#2 [/URL] , Miami Central product. Much different games, much different skillsets, much different measurables, but probably similar toughness and mental makeup. I hope he ends up being at least half as good as that other #2 .

Half as good as a healthy McGahee is **** good. The original #2 was a once every 10 years talent. If that OSU ****** didn't shred his knee then easy HOF for #2 .

I saw Willis on an airplane when he played for the Ravens. He did not weigh 230. 220 tops.

The coach said Kaaya was challenged by a defense that “came after him” and “gave him a lot of looks, a lot of different fronts, multiple coverages......

Did Golden feel separation anywhere?

“No, it’s too early, because we mixed it up so much. We wanted to get a lot of looks.”

Jack of all trades, master of none.

We're too **** focused on being "multiple" to ever get anything down. Golden getting in his own **** way as usual. When are these IDIOTS gonna learn to keep it simple?

How did yearby, Walton and coley look?

On defense Muhammad, Carter, Chad, Kirby?

Kirby forced a fumble on Gus but had a couple bad fits.

That's my biggest concern about this defense this year. If we're not playing downhill more as a defense I don't trust Kirby to be perfect. He won't be Gaines, but he'll fall far short of Perryman. Add to that, our safeties hardly run the alley well and our corners seem immune to tackling at times.

Deon does but Dallas and Jamal have been brutal
