Update on RB recruiting

Aug 31, 2018

2 weeks back, I started getting indications from a trusted source that Kenny McIntosh was in fact an Oklahoma lean and reported so in the August Freshman 15. Since that time and talking to more sources, that view has only been strengthened in my mind.

What has changed in the past few weeks though is UM's view on RB recruiting. I was originally told that Miami was fine with one RB in this class if in fact McIntosh went to Oklahoma; however, sources have confirmed to CIS that Miami will pursue Nayquan Wright if they miss on McIntosh, which appears likely at this time. Miami will continue to recruit McIntosh as the priority until he officially announces something, but is planning to line up Wright as the backup option.

As for Nayquan Wright: sources close to his recruitment have indicated to me he has been upset at Miami for essentially ignoring him since his injury last year. I'll just say he does not have the most positive view of UM at this point and leave it at that. Miami has a lot of work to do with Wright, but there's no telling how he responds once UM starts showing him consistent love. At least once source close to the recruitment has said UM could have easily locked up Wright a year ago if they pressed for him.

This is a developing situation and as we learn more, you'll be the first to know.

You're right. It's impossible that any mistakes are being made when we have the most talented recruiting grounds on planet Earth and yet we've never won the ACC.

I love CIS but what kinda ship y'all running when mods like Theswagger1 can go down vote like my last 20 posts because I didn't agree with his whining? Literally my last 15-20 posts. What a ***** *** move.

I don't have the time or energy to be childish and petty and look up your posts to downvote them but make no mistake, that's some hoe ****. And this is a MOD doing this because I disagreed with his post. What the ****?

Tighten up mods. You all want to post and talk ****/whine then you should be able to take disagreement. Not every Cane fan is miserable and wants to break out the pitch forks and banners everyday. Grow the **** up.

Can anyone truly explain why they really think Nyquan Wright should truly be recruited? He isn't fast (Joe Yearby Speed), He isn't overly powerful, he is small by RB standards, he isn't a true "scat back" that can come out of the backfield with amazing hands and make a lot of people miss in space, he isn't a home run threat. Again why should he be made a priority and why should our staff be questioned at RB?

**** all that he is a dog and a Cane.

And to be exact it was 18 posts. Yea bros, don't disagree with TheSwagger1 or he will seek out and downvote 18 of your posts. Acting like a scorned middle school girl. Actually I'm pretty sure I know middle school girls more mature then that.

How long did that take you? Furiously going from post to post to downvote. Jesus H Christ.

**** like that is why I went a long time where I mostly lurked and barely posted on here. A lifestyle I plan to resume.

Sorry to hijack the thread but certain **** needs to be called out, especially from mods. I'm out fellas. Keep it sleasy.

Beat (TF out of) LSU.

Don’t disagree that he’s a dog, but he ain’t a Cane until he tells the Turds to fvck off and commits to this U.

Crowley > McIntosh and they have similar styles so......

Agree with this. Like two different types of backs more than just two bigger ones

I'm perfectly happy with just taking Crowley this class, and having MAR as a backup RB option if needed. Homer and Gray will be leaving, but we'll still have Deejay, Lingard, Burns, Davis, and Crowley. Thats a pretty ******* deep stable,and for the most part are all pretty different players.
If we get McIntosh, yeah he's a take. But I'd be hesitant on Wright. I'd lean more for Daniel Carter or just stick with Crowley as the sole RB tbh.

McFarland is poised for a big season this year at UMD. We'll see how things pan out in due time. Davis is going to be a great player.

How is he poised for a big year? He's shown absolutely nothing so far

****. Now I gotta look up Mark Wahlburg's arms. Just because he's popular with a lot of people doesn't mean I care. I just barely heard of this guy. Now to keep up with this thread I gotta go research some guy I don't even care about and hardly heard of's arms.

Why can't you just say done other shizz instead of creating new research topics. I'm busy enough as it is.

Yeah, we'll see. UMD football is falling apart more than OSU with investigations and heat on the head coach.

Is Wright mad at all the other marquee programs that backed off him because of his injuries the last two years or just UM? These local goofballs crack me up.

More to do with the fact that he came to camps and the coaches acted like they were too good to talk to him.

Is your final answer, "he's a dog?" What did he do last night against a good team? Didn't his team get BLOWN OUT? What were his stats?

Thank you.

Some of these guys should do a little research before they jump to posting.

If this was a DB the board would be in flames at the opportunity to blast Diaz, Banda or Rumph.

Duh, look at the state of our DBS vs the RB. Id say The running back room can afford to miss some targets

^ Cam for sure. Much more agile, creates more yards.

Yeah I agree about passing on Wright and MAR is certainly a capable emergency RB - Jordan Whitehead was my comparison.

I know this board is obsessed with Dade RBs like Wright (and he does have some plus traits like run power and contact balance) but you look at the last 2 classes and Cam Davis is the only RB who's dynamic in space and makes guys miss. Lingard is a proven home run hitter but he's stiff, Crowley runs like Marcus Allen but he's stiff, and Wright is small, slow and stiff as a board. Does Miami really need another inside power back?

McIntosh is the guy who really brings a unique element to the group with his light feet and receiving ability. Wright's standout trait projects as 3rd-down pass protection; which is nice but non-essential. I'm not as high on Chaney as others but he can replicate some of what McIntosh does at least. We just need to replace Dallas' role by 2020, assuming he goes pro.

If we land Milton then this all becomes moot.

Well i say, i say, i stand corrected.

However it was a serious question about the traits this kid displays that says we must recruit him.

Aw shucks, jruiz dowmvoted my post. I should seek out and downvote his last 18 posts...

Or not, because I'm a rational human being and IDGAF what a jruiz or anyone's else thinks.

Maybe I should be a mod.

Enjoy your college football weekend CIS.
