2017 CB Nick Roberts commits to Miami

[troycbullock]

I really like this kid's tape. Best overall CB commit we've had in a while IMO, simply cause I can't find a weakness in his game. No lack of size. No lack of speed. No lack of strength. Appears to be the total package. Physical too.

His defensive playing style is similar to Tyrann Mathieu, IMO. He gets picks, causes fumbles, deflects balls and makes tackles all over the field (including running kids down). What's not to like. It will be scary when he gets here and adds size.

Warching practice more to come

Can you share your thoughts on practice? How it was ran, who impressed you, etc.

If you already planned on doing this then sorry for bugging you.

I'm a big fan of Walton and Yearby...but i was most impressed with Gus.. Practice ran like a Swiss watch... We watched Owens for the most part who took all the snap with the first team...Crawford had two picks in 7 on 7...the LBs looked good on inside drills.. impressed can't wait for the season to start

do you notice any diff in the way the practice this year then from last year? or if the players look more in shape?[/QUOTE

Everyone seemed to look in good shape... When we first got there the team was in the weight room working out... all the recruits watching, but you could see that the bodies of the UM players appeared to be a lot more physically mature... example Shaq is the same size as all the LBs and maybe just as strong... but they were more ripped and had the appearance of being bigger. Darrion is 2 inches taller and 3 lbs heavier than Shaq... but to see the two standing side by side you would think that D.O was 15 lbs heavier... Shaq is going to blow up when he gets there... want him down to about 230 when he gets on campus and pick up some good weight. I could see Shaq at 245 and a lot leaner by his Junior year

Thank you! thats one thing i noticed from watching the Videos. the intensity this guys are bringing . especially from the Front 7. everyone is going all out in practice. no one looks as if they are going through the motions. everyone competing. Chad Thomas i see a big difference in. DJax im hearing great things. Brad Kayaa looks determine and sharp. Malcom lewis looking really good. im loving it and im excited.

Anyone see the coaches tweet a welcome to the u? Maybe they forgot?

Glad to see Nick commit...didn't want to be an influence... i told him a while back not to commit until he was certain... He is a baller I'm expecting him to be an inch taller 5'11 or 6'0 benching over 300 cleaning 300 and low 4.4 before getting to the U

Tell him don't get too muscular and stiff. Stay flexible and limber by doing yoga and yes, ballet, techniques. Becoming really popular for people wanting to increase their flexibility.

Good point... He runs track.. so that will help him some with his flexibility
