Chris Wheatley-Humphrey…

I get he can play everywhere but how many carries are they going to give him over Lyle/Fletcher? Is it just going to be gadget packages? And if by chance is expected to get a good amount of carries dont we again need another TE who can play meaningful snaps?

If he put on HIS frame 45 pounds in one year it **** sure won't be his playing weight. If I had to guess I'd say he's about 185 last I saw him which was bout weeks ago.

CWH was 175 on his recruiting profile.
He was listed at 180 on the roster last year.

Coach Merritt said he came in at 170 (probably meant "in the 170's") and said he's now "almost" 200 (which I'm guessing means 190ish).

So I'm guessing he's put on more like 15 lbs.

We wouldn't have to assume if Miami didn't weirdly put out a roster with no weights on it.

Very rare. I asked ChatGPT not even mentioning CWH, and here’s the response:


Prior to Wheatley-Humphrey, several running backs in Miami-Dade County surpassed the 2,000-yard mark, including:
  • Troy Davis (Southridge High School) with 2,211 yards.
  • Darren Davis with 2,401 yards.
  • Frank Gore with 2,953 yards.
  • Bobby Washington with 2,132 yards.
  • Duke Johnson with 2,087 yards.
  • Joseph Yearby with 2,160 yards.
  • Henry Parrish with 2,025 yards.

This includes Broward:

Yearby - 2,160
Knighton - 2,088
Parrish - 2,319
Franklin - 2,282
CWH - 2,076

I'm don't want to undermine it. It's definitely a big accomplishment. But for whatever reason 2,000 yard seasons South Florida have become more common and haven't equated to college success.

There definitely won't be any unrealistic expectations put on Lofton by the fans this year......

The fans didn’t say he was the best player on the team. He has become the poster child for the Greentree AA. Bauman and he are the reason we’re not hitting the portal again for TEs and he’s also our third RB option. So I absolutely expect him to have a breakout season.
 
I recently re-watched the bowl game. Lofton was all over the field. Martinez and Fletcher both played the full game, as did Arroyo and McCormack. Lofton still got carries and receptions. This is what I envision happening this season, too.

Just curious but does that include playoff numbers? Because CWH's team never made to a playoff I believe.
 
Seems like every skill player we put weight on doesn't carry it well and ends up losing a lot of speed. Hope **** cat doesn't fall in to this category.

For what it’s worth every one of those players besides CWH played on championship caliber teams. South Broward was a one man show.

Last year, we had Martinez, Fletcher, Lyle and Ajay Allen. They all needed some carries.

We’ll see. The disconnect is that most people have never seen him run. He only had two carries in games (a short TD and a 30-yard fake punt). Hopefully we get an extended and healthy look in the spring game.

This is my take on this, Lofton is going to be a problem and I understand he is very athletic but if he’s taking snaps away from Fletcher and Lyle then we have a problem. We shouldn’t be asking him to carry any loads of our running game. If our RB had more depth, this wouldn’t be a discussion, imo. Lofton is far more valuable and needed in other areas (TE room) in the field than at RB. Hopefully, we stay healthy and bring in actual RB to help that room.

I agree it’ll look that way for the most part but the bowl game is the last game of the season. Playing 12 game season is a totally different approach. If he gets hurt playing RB than we failed him and the team, imo. Move him around as the weapon he is.

He's gotten more touches than any player on the team.

Dawson will get a lot of good job offers if he can have another good offense with an entirely new cast, one of them being a bit of a gadget player (I don’t think that term applies but not really sure what else to call Lofton at this point)

its not really a mystery its what lofton mostly did for gorman.

He can be a legitimate big back in certain offenses (ours) some of those big 10 teams.

I dont know if you know but giving a Najeh Davenport comp is high praise in south florida. It wasnt a put down.

Lofton was my fav recruit in his class but he is getting close to Devin Hester alien Grassy days hype now on here lol

People (not you) act like Lofton didn't score 11 combined touchdowns against Chamonade and Central

"But it's a team... "

Shut up

Lmfao

Kids a stud. Is he Bo Jackson? Obviously not.

Is he a problem? Obviously yes

I know when he was a recruit, despite being called "Hellcat", official time measurements on him were like looking for Bigfoot. Impossible to find but people swore he had elite speed. Any additional info on his speed, especially after having added 20-25 pounds?
