The question is, how much longer before you flip from Gator to Cane?
I can't imagine Golden and the staff turning Michel or Cook down because of numbers.
land especially is gonna drag this out a long way
F
Either way I look at it all of them are better than collins.
I also wanted Cook, but I'm starting to think how much of a chance we really had with him to begin with. This stuff about his family looking for hand outs....not good. Nevermind the fact that he's committed to Clem$on who rarely loses recruits (unless you got Arab money like Ole Miss). and then dude comes out today talking about "Miami's fourth".
Yes, losing Cook hurts....but its acceptable assuming we get Michel, and thenScarlett next year.
Cool, thanks 4 the analysis!
This is getting ridiculous.
I love this pick-up. Here's my take:
1. Yearby always makes plays and with our depth chart having a back with great vision, cutting, consistency and production is huge even if he does not house it as much as cook or sony.
2. I think Cook is used ideally by Central - to me he is a homerun threat every time he touches the ball but I think his lower touches maximizes this skill and keeps him fresh. I also think his vision while improving is more similar to lamar miller at this point. Miller made a ton of plays here but w/o amazing vision also had a lot of plays go for little or no gain. Who would not have loved to have had a yearby compliment to lamar?
3. Sony is a beast and will only be better 2 years removed from his acl injury. I do not think he is damaged whatsoever (I think this yr he will show he's the best of the 3) but he now has an inherent risk - think of guys like terrell thomas who has torn his acl 3 times - where once torn there is a higher risk of re-injury. Therefore with Sony's risk we needed AT LEAST one other back.

If we have a great season on the field, I don't see any reason why we can't get all 3. Just look at all the RB's Bama pulled, or all the WR's A2M pulled.
Watching Yearby's highlights made me think of Maurice Jones-Drew a little. I have no problem with this pickup. You got to take a stud RB if he wants in. Then we can wait it out with Sony and/or Cook and still feel ok as long as Yearby is solid.

Lets hope he stay bring it home boys bring it home also hearing y'all talking about cook being next year miami don't make sense he make things clear from now and he just said this change everything and its not like lane said bama is his fav I know for a fact lane is a cane look what happen with coley we never thought we had a chance Bryant, Matthew, Collins ones they left u should not be surprise

All this for nothing and yet he never said he dont want to be a cane unlike Matthew did in the start won't be suprise if cooks a cane
If I have two spots, I'm recruiting the kids I really want. It's February 2013 and the two best guys both have strong Miami ties. Recruit them as hard as you can. According to Cook, Coley hasn't exactly been burning up his phone. If Coley likes Yearby better, which he may, I question the evaluation.
I'm the last guy to be negative, but I'm tired of watching first rounders leave Miami and I don't want to see Cook become the next one.
I see where you're coming from but one of the two spots is kept for the grand prize, Sony and the other one was meant for Cook (as he was heavily recruited by Miami until recently) until Yearby, not a bad alternative, wanted to commit. I just think Golden had to make the decision to accept his commitment. As Franchise said, one in hand.
How did Clemson get a commit so early? Were they on him before everyone else?
Says who? I bet you predicted Alfred Morris's and Tyrone Mosses futures too. I bet you knew Storm Johnson would transfer out and do nothing at UCF after showing everyone great flashes here. I bet you can predict the ******* future huh? Bryce Brown was a future first rounder too.
The way I see this committment is as follows:
As we all saw in Coley's press conference "Good players want to play with good players"..
Having Eduoard and Yearby as the two South Florida kids to lead the way with this class (not to discount our other 2).. South Florida kids are definitely taking notice. These are two kids that people just naturally want to play with. If KC jumps on board which we are all expecting to happen sooner than later, and we should all keep praying to God that Sony also makes the decision to come here before his season starts since that is when he is announcing, that is an insane foundation to next years class. Those are 4 absolute studs that people want to be a part of a team with.
KC, Sony, Allen, and Yearby are 4 absolute monsters as far as recruiting and attracting other kids like Ermon and those type of elite talents to join the squad with them. This recruiting class could really go down in the history books if all goes as planned. We're about to have quite a crop of talent on this roster.

Yeah but they aren't turning down Cook or Sony if they want in. You lock a stud in now and don't get left at the alter like this year. Not to mention he, according to Pete, is a legend in South Florida and will be recruiting for us for the next 11 months. That fact alone is huge considering SFLA is stacked this year.
Plus when a SFLA guy is committed to Clemson this year it raises huge red flags for me.
No brainer take IMO
Yep. This thread is unbelievable. Top 5 RB, top 50 player overall and we have people *****ing.
This. I'm gonna trust they have a plan for recruiting and will be hard at it. We will take other backs.
