I know no one wants to believe this & for good reason, but I think we have a legit chance with this kid, I don't see him as trolling.
Now, with Cook that's 100% trolling, and quite frankly we need to let FSU keep him, FSU has 3 RB's already committed for 2018 & Lo seems smart enough to not buy their bull****.
Bama also already has Damien Pierce committed for 2018, but Bama is Bama & they always get top rated OOS RB's.
I feel our biggest comp will be Clemson & possibly UF, I don't think Oh St will be a factor because they'll probably get Ricky Slade (even though he just committed to Penn St, still expect him to flip).
Look, we all know how this goes, so I'm not going all in yet, but this kid did say Miami was his top school back in July right after Paradise camp was over & it should be noted Richt has actually recruited Lingard since he was in 8th grade when Richt was at UGA.
Idk if we'll win this battle, but I **** sure feel like it can be done. Whoever on this board is close to this kid better get the job done!
Not tryna bash or take shots at anybody, you know what to do... Handle this Cane Business fam!
the kid's not a lock by any means, and may end up elsewhere, but we have as good a shot, if not the best shot out of any other individual school. kid's not playing games. has a great head on his shoulders & a good family support system.
i have no idea why he's attracting so many butthurt posts. but its counterproductive. i realize miami fans suffer from battered fan syndrome, but its not a good look.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. We lose our top target RB recruit last cycle and suddenly a Dashboard Confessional concert full of fans decides no top RB target will ever want to come to UM again. Sad. People need to remember this is RBU. Don Bosseler, Otis Anderson, Alonzo Highsmith, Donnell Bennett, Edgerrin James, James Jackson, Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, Frank Gore, Lamar Miller, Duke Johnson... and a bunch of other dudes made it to the League wearing a U on the side of their helmet.
