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.

Sedrick is still hating on UM because UM didn't want him coming out of HS. So if he's brainwashed Cronkite into not trusting UM, then he should just decommit and move on.

You can't go somewhere you don't trust no matter how baseless your lack of trust is. It'll never work out, and it'll never change. If he doesn't trust them before ever putting a helmet on, then it's never going to work out. Time to move on and quit dragging on the drama.

Yep, the first time another back gets a more carries or starts in front of Cronkite, this trust BS will pop up.

This new guy posting under the Chise account is very wise. Very wise.

Crazy thing is the playing span for a RB these days isn't long, and it's made shorter by getting the tread worn down on he tires from a lot of wear and tear. I want my kid to go somewhere where he plays on natural grass as home field, and he doesn't get a ton of carriers to wear him down.

Also a school
With a good education so he has a good degree to fall back on.
I also wouldn't want my kid to go too far away from home where i would have to fly to a lot of games.

JC needs to **** or get off the pot. How many times is he going to need to talk to the coaches about the RB situation.

The situation is pretty self explanatory.

Scarlett is the top back with Williams in a very close second. Probably 1a 1b situation. And if Walton makes it into the class, he is 3rd back. JC best case scenario is 3rd best back if Walton doesn't reclassify.

At the end of the day you have to compete regardless. Yearby, Gus, and Gray will be here as well.

He should just decommit. Stop dragging it out.

Sed didn't have a problem sending David Thompson are way..

See is just another salty south Florida diva coach who wants his ego stroked more by the staff.

"Family is growing weary of the staff"

"Sed doesn't think we UM coaches can develop talent"

"Ices boy is gonna get first crack"

Seems like a lot of bull**** is being planted in JCs head.

I may be in the minority, but at this point it may just be best to cut ties with JC. What's goin to happen when we slap a redshirt on him? What's he gonna say them? This kid will be a never ending problem.

We have JS, DW, and MW(hopefully) and a stable of backs already on campus. I think will be ok if he walks.

It makes all the sense in the world, IMO, for Cronkrite to remain committed until there's further clarification about Walton's reclassification status. We were supposed to find out officially whether Walton would be a 2015 or 2016 commit on Monday, but unfortunately that hasn't happened yet.

If Walton remains a 2016 commit, then perhaps Cronkrite would eventually choose to stay with Miami after taking visits elsewhere. There's obviously no way we'd end up with all four RBs if Walton reclassifies. But until there's a definitive answer regarding Walton's status, Cronkrite's handling this the right way by showing patience.

Let me tell you. Not gonna talk crap. Not saying about any recruit at all. But for the majority that grew up Canes and ended up elsewhere. When Miami makes it back, their gonna bite their tongue and say ****, I wanna be a part of that.

That was the same feeling Antonio Bryant had, when we beat down Pitt. He had great career there but you could tell he wanted to be here at that time. He grew up Cane.

Stick with the home town team and bring em back is what I say to recruits that don't want to join along. Theirs momentum around the program.

I like Cronk. Always have, loved his tape. Everything and I hope he sticks and becomes a part of the turn around. He can be a key contributor towards the future. I hope for the best. And I know he loves the U too from what's been said before. Hope he makes that right choice.

This guy gets it!!! Look, we know the Dolphins ain't ish in Miami. The Hurricanes are the team of Miami. Did these kids not watch the 30/30? Mike Irv and Perriman and Hightower talking about how they were the MAN in town...how the mobsters used to hang w them (not to say it want mobsters hanging w our boys) but we get the point. Who WOULDN'T want to be the man in their own city??!!! This kills me! We're the original NFLU...over the last 30yrs, we've pumped out more impact players in the league than any other school, and that's until recent as well. We're moving in the right direction, and once that direction stops and not 6, not 7, not 8....chips, all these flake SoFla kids will wish they were apart of it.

I would love for JC to stay in this class but I'm already tired of his recruitment and we still have 6 months until Signing Day. Either you want to come here, compete and be an important piece of our return to greatness or you don't. Trust? Coach Golden is doing what's best for the team, stockpiling talent is a good thing. Sounds like the type who would rather ball out on a wack team then be a part of a stable of backs for a winner. Not gonna lose any sleep over losing a kid with that type of mentality. All that being said, as previously stated I'd love for him to stay in the class but I really don't want to hear about his flip flopping all season.

Before Jordan committed the staff told him they were only taking 2 rbs. DW committed and i guess he wanted a spot and jumped for it. there are now 4 rbs committed i wouldnt trust golden either.

Just looking from the outside in you have Scarlett- best friends with a top commit from next class and is at STA DW-A beast in his own right Walton- the new rb coach is his old high school coach and a big time pipeline is booker t

All and all (If walton stays apart of the 2016 class) nobody can complain about getting DW and scarlett. coupled with Gus, Joe, & gray our biggest flaws will not be at rb

Plus Yearby and Gray already here.

We're going to have quite a RB stable. Kids that don't want to compete for playing time are going to shy away from that kind of competition.

Does it really matter if Cronkite decommits with Scarlett, Williams and Walton all on board and not afraid of competition? Yearby, Chocolate and Gus already here?

And Fvck this trust **** too. We know Golden has made some recruiting mistakes and we also know he's been screwed over a hundred times too. It's recruiting in So Fla, you can't trust either side.

We wanted Sedrick Irvin out of h.s, so your statement is false. Sedrick went to Michigan $tate with Nick $aban for a reason.

****. I like JC he will ball no matter where he goes. This situation is just become drama though. He could have just De-committed without all the drama or he can stay in the class but to keep hearing about the same situation about him being uncomfortable is drama.

We've got like 10 articles in the past month or 3 about this kid being on the fence and being shaky about his commitment to this program, yet he has stayed committed. That shows he wants to be here. We all know he wants to be here even Token has stated that. But either wait to see how it's going to play out and take your visits silently or just De-commit. Enough with the drama and suspense and taking the world for a ride in between.

I know, I would've expected Porter, Cornelius, Gaines, Robinson, KC and Highsmith to all be drafted in the first round under another coach.

Its actually great for the board to have this dude back with his head screwed on straight. I figured he'd come around before the season started up. Just a slow offseason with a bad taste in all our mouths really messed everyone up.

Now this could be up to debate who the top running back really is however i respect your opinion,, My order would be Walton , Williams than Scarlett and I put Walton 1st watching him play his first 5 steps when he gets the ball in his hands are very explosive and fast. He reminds me of Cook he hits the hole and than seperates.

Please show me some film of walton "separating" cause i just watched all his film on youtube and he doesnt.

And Scarlett and Cronkrite both out ran him in the 40 at the opening.
