Richt, Brown stop by 2018 5-star Lingard's school

Jan 18, 2017

A plethora of schools, including Miami, have stopped by University High School in Orange City, Florida to see 2018 five-star running back Lorenzo Lingard in the past week.

The Canes sent Mark Richt along with OC and RB coach Thomas Brown last Friday to Lingard's school, an RCT source told CanesInSight. Along with Miami, Louisville and UGA visited Lingard on Monday, Florida State and Oklahoma were at the school on Tuesday, and Alabama and Ohio State dropped in this morning.

Not only is Lingard an elite prospect on the football field, but he has major aspirations on the track, including his ultimate goal of the 2020 Olympics. Lingard is the defending 4A state champion in the 110M hurdles and looks to also win the 300M hurdles this season. Look for Miami to involve Director of Track and Field Amy Deem in their recruitment of Lingard.

Miami won't match bags with other boosters for this kid, but bags will have to be dropped to stay in it

This excuse is getting so old.

Bagman is overexagerated.

I completely agree, but not with kids like this

It's really really not. The game is encrusted in recruiting. ESPECIALLY in the south. Nothing is done fair anymore. That's the world we live in.

If you don't believe in the bagman, especially with top recruits, you are extremely naive. That doesn't mean that every top recruit is ultimately swayed by the bags, but the bags have been the great equalizer for a long time.

Heard from a person on the team several years back who was involved in recruiting...he said the agent/bag game in sofla is like nowhere else in this country. He said you can go to LA, Texas, Ohio, etc and find shady folks but they pale in comparison to sofla.

Would giving his cousin a scholarship to UM be considered a "bag?"

To quote the great Ponzi Schemer of our time, "Even I couldn't outbid SEC bagmen."

It's been well documented just how deep this bag game goes in the southeast.

Winning is the equalizer to dufflebags.

Further we get to NSD the less I think we go after CJ, Lingards cousin.
It does seem too risky to give him a scholarship a year before Lingard can come. But we'll see if any other top school offers CJ or not. Because obviously Lingard isn't going to be going to USF.

That's what you call a subtle bag.

More like a purse or valise I'm thinking.

Every other school will wait till next year. Offer his cousin while he's at a Juco. No sense in offering while you'd have to wait for Lingard

His cousin would be smarter to just go to USF and play for Charlie Strong.
