Y'all need to chill on Tyler Byrd man...
From 247

Miami cornerback commit Tyler Byrd has been committed to the Hurricanes for close to a year, so he knows what UM has to offer from a football standpoint and academically.

His official visit to UM this weekend was all about getting to know the new coaching staff.

“The biggest thing from the weekend is knowing the coaches. They are a bunch of great guys,” Byrd said. “They are really excited about the future and they have us all believing that they are going to build something great there. It is really exciting to get to know them.”

“My relationship with coach Rumph is coming along pretty good,” Byrd said. “I got to know him better this weekend and he has a lot of things that he can teach me because he has played in the NFL. I trust that he knows how to get the best out of me.”

Byrd also enjoyed getting to know new UM defensive coordinator Manny Diaz throughout the weekend.

“Coach Diaz has a lot of energy,” Byrd said. “He just tells me that they are going to run a different style of defense. It is going to be simple and aggressive and that it is going to be fun to be a part of.”

Byrd was the first player that head coach Mark Richt visited when the recruiting dead period ended. Byrd continues to like what he sees from UM’s new coach.

“You can tell he is a great man,” Byrd said of Richt. “He is a winner and he is a coach that always has the backs of his players. He is the type of coach that you want to play for. I like him a lot. He says I am a big part of this class and that he looks forward to coaching me.”

Miami has a big need for cornerbacks in the 2016 class and Byrd is UM’s top commit at that position. The UM coaching staff has made it clear to Byrd that he has a great chance to play right away.

“They tell me that I have a good chance to play right away,” Byrd said. “I have to compete for that chance, but nothing is guaranteed.”

Fellow cornerback commit Malek Young also took his official visit to UM this weekend. Byrd and Young got to know each other at the Army All-American Game.

“I spent a lot of time with Malek Young,” Byrd said. “We talked about how its going to be good playing corner together at the same school.”

Byrd admits he doesn’t do much recruiting for Miami, but he did say that he feels good about the chance that wide receiver commit Sam Bruce sticks in the class.

“I feel like Sam Bruce responded well to the visit,” Byrd said. “I think he enjoyed himself and likes Miami a lot.”

Byrd plans to take an official visit to Tennessee next weekend with his teammate, Carlin Fils-Aime, who is committed to the Volunteers. Following his trip to Miami, Byrd says his commitment to UM is strong.

“I am solidly committed to Miami,” Byrd said. “I am going to see what Tennessee has to offer and Miami knows that. I pretty much like everything about Miami.”

Byrd is rated a four-star prospect according to 247Sports.com.

You may want to use larger font for this post as I hear Tennessee fan boards are linked to this site.
 
I think by saying 8 out of 10, he is indicating that it's not over. If he said his visit was 10 of 10 and then flipped it would look stupid

You give these kids too much credit. 17 year old kids are not that calculating and thoughtful.

When we get a visitor who is committed to another school who hasn't shown interest in us before we say it's a free trip. But when one of our commits visits a school he never had interest in before we say he's gone. We have been Goldenized. Hopefully not for long.
 
Did it ever occur to ya'll that he's a 18 yr old kid who wants to see things, things he'll never be able to see for FREE again? Or maybe he wanna take down some Tennessee chicks for Free. Just saying.
