Are we out of it for Gibson or just your gut feeling?

No reason not to bring in the other local kid (Sunshine) with Parr if this is true. Please cut the deadweight with Crow as well.

I doubt that they see Crow as "deadweight" at this point, given that he is the only QB who is not a freshman without any experience in the offense. As limited as he might be, I'd feel a lot better with him on the roster until the younger guys get some experience with the offense. Bluntly, there's more to the position than talent. There's knowledge of the offense. I know it's weird to say that, but I'e seen quite a few UM QBs who had mediocre talent yet contributed significantly because of command of the offense and could manage it in a game situation.

Crow is deadweight and has EXTREMELY limited experience in 3 seasons. I would be shocked to hear that he is the backup QB this season (keep in mind Williams is injured).

He offers NO reliability because he has shown NONE, which is the same amount of reliability that Olsen or the true freshman have.

I don't think anyone on this website believes Crow can be relied on to play. At the end of this season (which is my point), there is no reason to take 2 more QBs without cutting the dead weight (i.e. the kid that will never start or be a backup). If Crow is 3rd/4th string, please leave after this season.

Whats everybodys opinion on Parr? Im just learning about him now

You'll be able to see a bunch of opinions about him from the following thread: http://www.canesinsight.com/threads/75380-New-2015-Florida-Pro-Style-QB-offered/page2?highlight=parr

I'm personally disappointed that we're making Parr a priority while not even recruiting Francois or offering Waller. It doesn't help that my first impression of Parr came at the :53 second mark of his sophomore highlight tape, as I couldn't make it any further than that after seeing such a throw.

His junior highlights were obviously better, but Pete has said the staff loves him and doesn't view him as a backup plan. His highlights scream backup plan, though, compared to the superior QB recruits we've offered like Locksley (not coming) and Wimbush (already gone).

**The QB recruiting scenario is developing quickly and I expect the Canes to lock in on a couple of targets in the near future. Torrance Gibson is not coming to Miami and Brandon Wimbush just committed to Penn State. Who is up next? One name in the mix is Dwyer QB Daniel Parr. Parr is a personal favorite of James Coley’s and he very well could wind up being the QB in this class. I know Canes fans might not think highly of Miami’s chances with Parr due to the program’s lack of success recruiting Dwyer over the years, but I think this situation is different. Parr is still slightly under-the-radar and Miami was his first big-time offer, which will be a huge recruiting point. If he continues to progress the way Miami thinks he will, then he will garner more offers but Miami will always have the point of emphasis that they were on him first. Last recruiting cycle, we saw what happens when James Coley makes a lightly recruited QB his priority and my hunch is that we will see something similar progress here with Parr. On the field, Parr put up great numbers last season with 42 TDs and 6 INTs and helped lead Dwyer to a 7A state title. We will learn a lot about him this season when he does not have his three big weapons in Johnnie Dixon and Clint Stephens Good athlete with some juice on his ball.

**There are reports out there that suggest Carol City CB Rashad Fenton could be committing to Miami soon, but I have been told that he does not have a committabe offer at this point. Miami likes him, but would not take a commitment from him at this point. I am personally a big fan of Fenton, but Miami has prospects higher on their board at the moment

**When Quentez Johnson called Al Golden a few weeks ago to commit, Miami was stunned because they liked his upside, but had not necessarily been expecting him to commit without visiting. His decommitment was not a surprise to them because they accepted his pledge knowing it would be extremely difficult to hold on to. In my opinion, Johnson will end up at a lower-level SEC school such as Mississippi State or Kentucky.

**The first summer session begins at UM next Monday, and that means more incoming recruits will be officially beginning their college careers. Here is a list of prospects who are expected to move into their dorms over the weekend and start classes on the 19th:
Tyre Brady
Marques Gayot
Brad Kaaya
Kiy Hester
Malik Rosier
Demetrius Jackson
Chad Thomas
Courtel Jenkins
Nick Linder
Michael Wyche
Mike Smith

The second summer session begins on June 30th, where Terry McCray, David Njoku, and Darrell Langham are expected to enroll. Trayone Gray’s status is still up in the air. Any of these names are also subject to change depending on any clearinghouse issues that have not come to light.

**New Jersey WR Irvin Charles is an absolute priority for Miami right now. The coaches view him as Tyre Brady 2.0 with his size. Between Brady, Langham, Herndon, and Njoku it is obvious that they are trying to get as big as possible at the position. Berrios had to be SPECIAL to warrant an offer and he was.

**The full court press has been on Tim Irvin for some time now and I am told that his mother is really pushing for him to stay in Miami. The Canes have the upper hand at the moment.

Pete when will these kids get to the U.
Moten, Herndon, Brown & Grimsley? Thanks.

1) I am interested to know what our DB big board looks like. For a local kid like Fenton to not have an offer, I need to see who they would have ahead of him besides Tyrek Cole to the point where they are not even considering taking a commitment. (And I am not counting the S position. I consider guys like CDavis, Irvin and JJ, safety prospects.)

2) I think that Al and crew are adapting to the new age DBs. The days of having small guys who dont have freakish speed or quickness lining up at WR are over. DBs are becoming too physical. You saw against FSU and UL that our WRs were virtually invisible save for Allen Hurns. I like Herb Waters but his inconsistancy could be attributed to his physical limitations. Dorsett is small but has 4.3 speed. He is the exception. And Coley is Coley. Guys like Mike Evans and Kelvin Benjamin are what seperates you from being great and being an elite offense.

3) Getting an elite QB isnt really a priority this year. Getting one next year is IMO.

I rather have Manziel or Winston and our WRs than our QBs and Benjamin and Evans.

Lol. Interesting post. I agree with you though.
 
College football is like a popularity contest. Most of the top local recruits are seeing other programs as more glamorous and popular. Plus they selling them on things we can't at this point; sell outs, prime time tv, top bowls/Champions Playoff and high nfl draft opportunities. We improving, but can't lose out on Johnson, Irvin and Clarington. Gibson's speed and potential are what makes him a top recruit, but he'll always be a athlete playing QB. I think Tiano will be a better "QB" in the end.

Honestly, it is the QB that separates the offense...hence I posted that above.

The QB recruiting this cycle looks pretty concerning. We won't be able to afford to miss on our elite targets in 2016, especially if Kaaya doesn't redshirt.

The staff is placing too much of an emphasis on size at WR and not enough on explosiveness, IMO. Charles is obviously a talented player, but we already have Spence committed and are reportedly in good shape with Peete as well. That's three big-bodied possession receivers who don't blow the top off the coverage and have very similar profiles.

If we don't land someone like Cain, then it seems way too duplicative. We should always have speed and home run ability at the skill positions at Miami, and it seems like Carroll in particular is obsessed with size over everything else.

Really hoping that Irvin decides to stay home. Can't afford to lose him.

They recently offered Ryan Davis at WR. He plays QB for his team.

http://www.hudl.com/athlete/872177/highlights/50407376

We know about Cain as well...On the college level supposed home run ability is overstated when a guy like Allen Hurns catches just as many deep balls as Dorsett. 4.5-4.6 guys will beat college defenses deep too.
 
Pete, tell us more about Quentez Johnson. Why do you think he will end up at a lower level SEC school? Is he good enough for the upper level? Why not the U?

Also, do you think Chad Thomas will be able to pass AQM and Tyrique on the depth chart?
 
Hey Pete anything new on Devante Peete? Where do we stand with him. This staff really like big WRs and he's about as big as they get.

Pete - Nice work on this one.

Will Coley be able to shed the "burden" enough to recruit the next Kaaya or develop the current one?
 
I actually think the Parr kid's tape is pretty decent. And hard to ignore those numbers and success at that level of comp.
