11.08 in his first meet and never ran below 11.16 after that.

Surtain started at CB for his HS football team though and has football offers from the top programs in the nation.
Thanks.
Take it back all the way to the Javier Arenas days (who wasn't highly regarded AT ALL). He was a beast for them on Special Teams.
Levi Wallace in High School best time was 100m --11.26 and 200m--22.80

Yes and we do not the depth yet like Bama with all those 4 and 5 star recruits.

If LCE says hes a take. Then hes a take.
Lol... Hey I just offer my opinon like everyone else, there are far more qualified guys on here than me.
The staff obviously likes Bethel & if he visits on the 26th & they want him, I don't see why he wouldn't be a take.
He's a tall fast kid & good athlete with some legit upside, everyone is down on him but he's a kid that you can take & continue to develop for a few years.
If you're expecting him to start from day 1 then you'll be mad because that's not what he is as a prospect. But can he be a good player down the line, I believe so.
@LCE...Hey man, you have seen the kid play live more then 90% of the guys on here. Most of them are either looking at his lack of stars or lack of offers as a reason to **** on him.
I am in the group that sees a kid who is 6'0 180 and running a legit 4.3 AND has the hips to play DB AND is from MNW and saying we at least need to have a conversation with him in case all **** breaks loose and we strike out with TC and PS2. Kids with those measurables arent walking around everyday.

Didn't as much this year, I moved, I don't live in Fla anymore. But from what I've seen before & what my family who are still in Mia tell me I trust cause they're close to it.
I don't get the hate for this kid though, if this was a Folden eval I would be totally against it, but this staff deserves the benefit of the doubt imo. They've shown they can maximize prospects like Bethel & he would be a long term plan, not someone they would expect to come in & log snaps day 1 as a CB. But on ST's he can make an early impact, that 4.3-4.4 speed is for real.
The black *** is the type of down-the-road guy Miami should be taking, if any. But I’ve only seen Bethel (and by that I mean, not seen him make a play) in two games. I could be wrong. Maybe he becomes a major special teams player.
The "hate" probably stems from his offer list of FIU/Akron/Tulane and that ilk and that he didn't play CB in HS and didn't make many plays on the football field. I don't hate him; I just don't think we build a champion striking out on 5 star CBs and replacing them with Akron players.
This is the exact type of kid who goes to Louisville or West Virginia and becomes an all conference type of kid who we then later question how he got away. Definite take if we miss on the Heritage Duo.

Based on what?
He's not a replacement for either of the AH kids, but that doesn't mean he can't play at Miami.
And UCF is actually recruiting him at the moment, he's not a Akron player, but I get your point.
Look, I think the kid can be a good player it's not a matter of life & death, if you don't that's cool too I respect your opinion.
We'll find out if the staff really wants him or not, if he ends up signing with Miami then we'll see what he becomes as a player.

Gotta take him.
If he can actually help with kickoff/punt returns, I would take him regardless of if TC/PS2 join Storm18. Our kickoff return was atrocious and it got to the point where Thomas getting to the 30 was a big return. Our punt return was solid with Berrios but he didn't have game breaking ability. I almost wish we would have offered Johnny Ford just for his return ability but if Bethel can provide some juice for special teams, sign me up.
So what?
So what?
