Disagree. They know he hasn’t really played there. He’s a pure upside/project take. Don’t think his performance at paradise means anything tbh.

Bringing back the speed an athletes one recruit at a time. Its not that complicated to switch from wideout to db if you're a good athlete, plus his speed and if he has quickness will make up for alot of the technique learning curve that comes with the position, but he'll be in Great hands with coach rumph, alot ofmtimes it's better to be able to tewch somebody from scratch than to try an get them to break other habits/techniques.

So good will be a Great example on how well a coach, coach rumph is, not that we dont already know, but no matter what happens at paradise camp, especially if he gets cooked out there, that'll just make em even more hungry, and will help drive em to Greatness, old Miami Hurricane style. This staff is to smart and loyal to just dis-own a player because of his camp showing. If they had doubts about em, they would've waited to offer him after paradise camp. College football about to be in trouble, coach richt got the right staff in place now with simpson in the fold, the only one i dont have a good read on right now is the new linebackers coach, but from what i've seen so far, it has helped to free coach diaz up to the point where, not that he needs to, but he may actually go up in the booth now. Although i know he Loves being down on the field. Coach patake tho is a good, technical coach as well.

We back to having the athletes that a UM team is suppose to have, with more on the way. It's guys like damarius, bethel and the likes who help to make us have one of the best special teams coverage units in the nation. The team speed is back some, but will be back even more with this class and the ones to come, coach richt knows what he's doing.

Interesting that he refers to the post by hurricane warrior right here on Canesinsight.com Another example that recruits, families and influencers of recruits do visit these pages! We should help recruiting with positive post like the one by hurricane warrior and temper/manage our "concerns" in our posts!

One of the more intriguing stories of Paradise Camp next week will be the debut of Miami commit and Lake Brantley (FL) 3-star ATH Damarius Good at cornerback. With little to no tape at the position, Good feels the need to show doubters that he has the skills to make a lasting impact as a cover man.

“I have something to prove,” Good said. “I want to show people that I can actually play corner, because people haven’t really seen me play. I’m ready. I just want to compete and hang out with the other commits.”

The 6’0” 183 pound athlete has almost no experience at the position, but does have considerable physical tools and has spent his summer working on the nuances of corner, reporting he’s confident in his results so far.

“Yes sir, I’ve been working with my coach,” Good said. “My technique is coming along pretty good. I’m confident in it for when I go to college. I’m working on my footwork and fixing my back pedal. I’m improving. Sometimes we might do 1-on-1’s, and I’ll work on my press.”

For some recruits, a big draw to Paradise Camp is the swarms of Miami Hurricanes' greats that come to the event to coach, offer words of wisdom, or just hangout with the players.

“I also want to meet the old players that used to go to Miami,” Good said on Paradise. “I heard Ed Reed and Ray Lewis maybe might be there.”

Does he have a favorite Hurricane legend in particular he’d like to meet?

“Not really. I like all of them.”

Paradise Camp also brings Good the opportunity to work with his future position coach in Mike Rumph. So far, Good loves what the UM cornerbacks coach brings to the table as a teacher and is excited to continue to build their relationship.

“He’s just a cool guy. He’s a coach I can see myself being able to work with, he’s understanding, I like him a lot,” Good said on Rumph. “When I first met him, I knew he would be a good coach, there was just something about him that was special.”

When asked who he’s most interested in competing against, the Lake Brantley standout named a certain 5-star receiver currently committed to the Georgia Bulldogs and Good said he wouldn’t shy away from recruiting him to Miami.

“I think I read an article saying Jadon Haselwood was going to be there,” Good said. “I want to compete against him. If he switched his commitment to Miami, that’d be amazing.”

Just before the dead period at the end of last month, Good made his second trip to UM’s campus for “Miami Nights”, an invite-only event exclusively for Miami commits and top targets. It was Good’s first time meeting anyone from his class and he has begun to form relationships with a few members of Surge19.

“It was good, we got along,” Good said on meeting the other commits. “I met Te’Cory Couch, Marcus Crowley, and Keontra Smith. We’ve been keeping in touch a little.”

Miami’s 2019 class has grown considerably in recent months and the group is really beginning to take shape. Good sees big things in the future for Surge19 and especially likes how versatile his classmates are.

“I’ve been following who’s been committing on Twitter,” Good said. “There’s some account that posts all our pictures together, like the people that committed, Hurricane Warrior. I’ve watched some of our guys’ highlights before. We’re all great athletes and I feel we offer a lot more than just defense or offense, can play different positons, special teams and things like that.”

As a two-sport star with plenty of speed to burn, Good will also be competing in track for his upcoming senior season and anticipates topping his personal best times.

“I’m going to be doing track,” Good said. “I’m trying to beat my old time, 10.6 in the 100 meter.”

Speaking for my expectations and mine only: Anything positive he does at Paradise Camp will be a welcome surprise. I'm not expecting him to have a grasp on the position that quickly and especially not against top competition that have played their positions for much longer. I'll reserve my judgment on him for the end of his senior year when he's had an entire year to settle in. But if he does impress at Paradise, even better. I like him as a prospect.

We'll see and I hope he does great. Just relax and do the best you can as a player and person, not only in football but in life. You do that, nobody can complain.
 
Has got the physical tools.

Will not be surprised if he has some bad moments and stumbles on technique.

He’s a raw prospect with all the tangibles who can pay big dividends starting in a year or more of being taught how to play the position. Too much physical upside not to take, and coaches have determined he’s a fluid enough athlete to make the transition.

Worth the take.

Is he going to look like anywhere near a polished prospect at paradise? No way. He’ll maybe flash, but needs time in the system.

Rumph will have an opportunity to see what he's working with up close and personal. That's the most beneficial part of Good showing up at Paradise. It certainly won't hurt if Good shows up at CB and is dominant despite not having any real DB experience, but it's not important. What is important is how Good responds to coaching and that he shows enough flashes and tools to reinforce Rumph & Co.'s confidence that he can be developed into a quality, p5 CB. Here's hoping...

You are kiddin me right? Is that what you got out of what I said? Facepalm my a$$. You can tell we are deep into the summer when people just start arguments for no reason. I never said Frierson sucked. I said even an athlete of his caliber didn't have the best showing his Jr yr.

Now if you want to suck him off that's fine but go back and look at the tape. Its not hard to find. That said, he has improved tremendously under the guidance of Rumph so hopefully Good will do the same.
