South Florida '17- The WRs

Feb 11, 2016

It's no surprise that South Florida is loaded to the brim with WRs. From the Canes' perspective, there is an abundance of big split ends who can complement guys like Sam Bruce and Ahmmon Richards. I would try to get at least three from this group, and wouldn't mind taking five.

Jerry Jeudy- 6'1, 175 pounds (Deerfield Beach)- Jeudy is one of the best athletes to come through South Florida in years. He is a sensational wide receiver, but he could be All-World as a cornerback. Very similar in style to his friend, Calvin Ridley. Miami has ground to make up here and will need to succeed on the field to catch up to the SEC.

Trevon Grimes- 6'4, 190 pounds (St. Thomas Aquinas)- Size and speed. Grimes is a rich man's Tommy Streeter, and I mean that as a compliment. He is already huge and getting bigger. More of a track athlete than a basketball player, he will run by guys instead of jumping over them. I like his physicality- he is not shy about seeking contact after the catch. Star potential. Originally a Midwest kid who is projected to sign with Ohio State.

Mission Complete ! #16 - Trevon Grimes highlights - Hudl

Kevaughn Dingle- 6'2, 192 pounds (Carol City)- Dingle is ready to step into college and catch slants right now. Strong frame with a knack for big plays (29 ypc). Extremely solid prospect who should be a high priority for the Canes.

8Ball Junior Season - Kevaughn Dingle highlights - Hudl

Leroy Henley- 6'2, 190 pounds (Cardinal Gibbons)- Another guy with size and athletic ability. Henley can accelerate and is tough after the catch. His cousin, Terrance, is a sophomore CB at Miami and he has spoken of a potential package deal. Canes are a great fit here.

Junior Year Highlights - Leroy Henley highlights - Hudl

Rodney Scott- 6'1, 175 pounds (Southridge)- Big-handed receiver with body control who is capable of making acrobatic catches. Not fast but has some quicks. Similar skillset to Andre "Freakshow" Davis, who had a good career at USF.

Junior Highlights - Rodney Scott highlights - Hudl

Daewood Davis- 6'2, 175 pounds (Chaminade)- A Syracuse commit, Davis combines length and sprinter speed. He recently transferred to Chaminade and should put up big numbers on the outside with QB Henry Colombi. Davis tried to commit to Miami last year and could find his way back in the class. Longtime favorite of @Geo305.

Joshua Ali- 6', 175 pounds (Chaminade via University)- Ali is another addition to the emerging offensive machine at Chaminade. He's not as fast as Davis, but has superior quickness and gets excellent separation on his routes.

http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4285345/highlights/289915381

Quantino Allen- 5'11, 202 pounds (Glades Central)- The latest in a long line of Muck speedsters. Allen is closer physically to Deonte Thompson than Travis Benjamin, as he packs a lot of strength onto his 5'11 frame.

http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4426842/highlights/327977404

Carmoni Green- 5'11, 180 pounds (Central)- Standard Dade County baller with quickness and instincts. Made a big splash in the state title game and is building buzz in the offseason.

http://www.hudl.com/athlete/6105486/highlights/283272423

Mike Harley- 5'10, 155 pounds (St. Thomas)- Harley is an extremely quick slot guy who is expected to replace Sam Bruce. He is another guy who is starting to generate hype.

http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3865227/highlights/304542386

Sharod Johnson- 6', 180 pounds (Jackson)- Underrated talent with some size and versatility. Made many big plays for Desmond Phillips last year.

Retract my statement on Harley. I'm convinced. He definitely made a jump between his soph and junior year.

Get 4-5 of this group of

Quantino Allen
Kevaughn Dingle
Emmanuel Greene
Mike Harley
Rodney Scott

Daewood Davis or Carmoni Green in place of one if someone decide to not come.

Grimes you know the story, I explained it. Hope they don't waste any time.

Jeudy you make room and take him immediately if he wants in. (His upside is higher at CB, me & [MENTION=2]DMoney[/MENTION] have agreed on this)

none of these kids ae even being recruited excepted Harley. Who just got an offer

This thread is a perfect example of why an early signing period might not be a good idea for some teams. I think it's critical to see how these kids develop in their senior years.

Seems like a very bad year in SoFla for WRs.

1. Jerry Jeudy - Everyone knows the story here. Was a must get and Bama got him (hurts the most)

2. Trevon Grimes - From Indiana originally and was always an Ohio St lock

3. Mike Harley - Should be a Cane

4. Kevaughn Dingle - dropped by the Canes, IMO we should've kept him

5a. Leroy Henley - I think we should take a chance on one of Henley or Green (below). But the staff isn't settling and are looking to upgrade the position and I don't blame them. Henley committed to ECU, Green to Illinois

5b. Carmoni Green - see above

If you have three All-Americans at the same position from the same metropolitan area, including the #1 guy nationally, that's a good year IMO. Depth isn't that great but a lot of these smaller names will end up producing in college.

I think hes talking about overall, we used to seeing 8-10 guys that are recruited nationally, this year there has been really only 4, and i agree with him

Exactly... I also think it shines a light on the recruiting obsession of getting guys early (included in your early signing point). So many kids develop during their senior years and are left out. I can understand the Bamas of the world but there are so many teams losing with 20 commits by October. I recall seeing fiu with lime 18 commits before their coach was fired. Why? Recruit until the bitter end. I wouldn't stop recruiting for a certain class until fall of that said year.

Good question. A lot will depend on system and work ethic. I think Sharrod Johnson from Booker T is really underrated. Carmoni Green and Leroy Henley have strong bodies and good athleticism. Dingle is a good football player despite his lack of speed.

In the staff's eyes, only 3 are UM caliber (Jeudy, Grimes, Harley). And Grimes was all OSU. So technically we struck out on potentially only 1 (Jeudy)

I think we needed 3 to 4 WRs in this class and easily the top 3 guys (holliman, smith and juedy) gave us the finger.

What more do you need to know?

I agree, but this thread is about SoFla WRs not our top targets.

Holloman is smack dab in UGA territory and Smith in LSU. IMO those players are always going to be long shots/ tough pulls.

Jeudy is the only one we struck out on.

Our WR class and DB classes are horrendous.

Agreed at this time. If we would've landed Njoku, Harley, and Jeudy at WR then that would've been an A haul IMO. Without Jeudy we are looking more like a C

Our Safety class is solid. At CB if we can land Edwards and Dean, which it is trending towards, then thats a A or A- DB class

Bandy - Perfect Nickel DB
Edwards - Long Athletic Edge corner
Dean - Same as Edwards, and can possible be an immediate starter
Deejay - think Cyrus Jones type playmaker at CB

Carter - stud and severally under rated. Could be a day 1 starter and prove to be the best Safety out of all our targets
Gibson - Box Safety with tons of potential
Smith - natural S instincts

I like Carmoni Green and Sharod Johnson a lot. I think they will ball out at 'Cuse and Illinois respectively.

I don't think we recruited either to any extent.
