2015 RB Cronkrite Unsure of Miami Commitment

Aug 2, 2014

With 3 running backs currently sitting in the Miami Hurricanes 2015 recruiting class, 2015 Westminster (Fla.) running back Jordan Cronkrite wouldn’t label himself as a solid commit.

“I gotta meet with the coaches to talk about some things, talk about the future and what’s going to happen.”

The 5’11 196 pound running back has been in contact with other schools including South Carolina, West Virginia and Florida.

Cronkrite is looking forward to speaking with the coaches and is looking for his questions regarding the other running backs in the class to be answered.

“Just to see what they’re going to do with running back situation and just see what happens from there.”

The Westminster product has no visits set up until during the season where he will be able to catch a couple Hurricane games.

Cronkrite, like many, was surprised with the recent news of Hurlie Browns switch to Linebackers coach and Ice Harris move as the new Running Backs coach. Cronkrite is familiar with Harris’ reputation at the high school level.

“I met him when I went to the school one time, he clearly knows what he’s talking about and he knows how to win. I don’t know much about him besides what he did at Booker T.”

*Will not be attending U Day due to a school function.

Heres how Cronk (and imo the real problems his friends and mentors) need to see it is with more competition it helps him get better. Cronk will have to say "ok let me learn to pass block better, let me be a great receiving back and try to show NFL team I have sick hands, try to kill it on st and know when I show the coaches I can do all the little things I will get the **** ball". Problem is some guys don't see the big picture and if/when he does finally see the big picture he'll realize he can do so many things and also save his body for the pros and that's what every rb should want.

Jordan Cronkrite can't show the NFL anything if he doesn't PLAY. Go somewhere where you are going to get playing time first and foremost.

So he can't get that here? I said this whole time that if a rb can really catch the ball, pass block and does all the little things he will play unless we have 3 NFL starters on this team who teams are drooling over and somehow they're all that much better then Cronk he will play

Bruh, I understand what you're saying, but it's gonna be tough to play at Miami at RB. WR is different you can load up on WR's all day, but they only used Duke and Crawford in important games, OT & Gus didn't really see the field unless it was an injury or garbage time. Unless he shines in camp and is THE GUY, he won't get many oppertunities to show NFL scouts.

Them saying we are going to use all 3 backs sounds like BS they are mainly gonna run 2 guys (and sparingly a 3rd) like every major college team (Bama, UGA, S.Car, Ect).

This gaytor just want's him to go to the dud school up north, Cronk is too smart for that, he'll play down here no problem.

I didn't say he wasn't good, I said "He Will Not Start for the University of Miami at RB if all the backs stay committed" because I think they are all all better than he is.

And I said he will be the next Mike James (who didn't start until senior year)

What's wrong with saying that?

Please explain what you see in Mark Walton since you think he is the best RB out of everyone, as of right now your scouting seems a little flawed IMO at least when it comes to RB... The fact that you degraded Mike James and he actually looked very good when he started in the NFL lead many of us to believe you have no idea what your talking about

mauri is a gaytor fan, they're having trouble keeping average players now, he wants Cronk up there real bad. Cronkite will do great things at Miami, no doubt.

Cronkite and James are two completely different high school RB.

Cronkite is shiftier, which is why most of his runs were outside or off tackle. He still has another year though.

Mike James was a workhorse. With that type of RB in high school, you only have to throw the ball about nine or ten times a game. He would have been perfect for LSU.

Because fans are fanatics and the future players are always viewed better than they really are. Just look at the Scarlett thread, he was a joke and overrated. Now that he is a Cane, posters are saying he is the second coming of Willis. As long as Cronkite is a Cane he is the man. Once he decommits, if he does I should have said, then that tune wil change. Same exact thing happened with Yearby last year. People said that he wasn't even a Miami caliber player when he was committed to FSU. On the same note people were hailing D Turner as a diamond in the rough because of his impressive highlights, which in reality was him running a 9 route and getting very separation or YAC.

Exactly. If I said the same exact thing about Hayden Mahoney, Joe Brown, or Ryan Mayes, they would feel different. Hippocrates everywhere.

Yep, a gaytor fan with a Denzel Perryman avatar, on a Miami hurricanes recruiting board, spying on a team that Florida doesn't even play. Sounds legit

They don't really do any harm, I suppose.

4-star RB and #Canes commit Jordan Cronkrite has four official visits in mind: #WVU #SC #Gators #Buckeyes (http://bit.ly/1qa3M3H )

Four-star running back Jordan Cronkrite of Palmetto Bay (Fla.) Westminster Christian committed to Miami in April, but his process is far from over and he plans on taking official visits to South Carolina, West Virginia, Ohio State and Florida.

I could see Ohio State stealing him if he doesnt want to be a cane.

OSU may be done at RB. Not sure if he has a commitable offer. I know they're waiting on that kid I think his last name is Harris?

Miami should always be loaded at RB, WR, CB, S, KR, and PR regardless of who the CEO is.

His offer from OSU is commitable and they have said they would take him as a second RB this class. This interview was given before Cronkrite left for a school event and Cronkrite and his family talked and agreed that OSU isnt the best fit so why waste an OV on them.

IF he isnt a Cane its because he doesnt believe what the staff is telling him, not because of competition.

Do you think that his doubt at least right now is because of friends or is it just himself because I never have thought he was afraid

The doubt that you brought up Im assuming has to do with trust in the staff and what I can tell you much of it comes from his head coach who does have some influence on him because they are together just about everyday and he is looking out for Jordans best interest and at the same time is not a fan of this staff. Other than his head coach its only his parents involved in this process and they are growing wary of the staff as well. These are the only people that Jordan trusts in this situation.

All of the opposing coaches, friends and others who are down talking the school doesnt effect him very much because he knows many of them have an alterior motive and not his best interest.
