Fletcher in '26

RangerGranger said:
Mario has given him a backhanded compliment more than once. "He's running faster and with more authority now".

Which this kind of validates our eyes.

If Mark could be consistent at making the first person miss, he would have an intriguing skillset given his frame. It's crazy, but Damien Martinez has not been on an active roster this season and I'm pretty sure MF wouldn't be as well.

Given that, I hope the kid stays and makes a great pairing with Girard Pringle.

Truth. He can find a role in the NFL, he can move a pile ,but the extras is what you need.. holding on to a screen pass, making a guy miss as you eluded to earlier, the speed to turn a 8 yard play to an 80..

They dont grow on trees, which is why I'd hope Fletcher stays and match with Pringle to supplant Pringle when it's time for the bruiser.

If Martinez can’t latch on, than Fletcher is going to have an even harder time.
Fletcher was 1b last year and then kinda won 1a by default this year.

Is he okay with going back to 1b next year? Or even lower? If yes, than bring him back. He’d be a solid #3.
 
so did Ohio State just not want him to commit here?

i know if’s were fif’s we would all be drunk…
but i have a nagging suspicion if he would’ve been a bucknut he would looked at like one of the best backs in america

is it the development of rb’s here since Willis if we are being honest
or do we just expect ever south fla running back to be Frank Gore


like who has really improved in our system since 02 at rb?

Are you asking if we have had any rb’s that have developed here since 2002? Lol


*Ah ok you’re trolling. That was good, 10/10.
 
Should he go pro? Absolutely not, he hasn't proven that he's a day 1-2 pick, and IMO nobody should be leaving early without a fairly certain landing 1-3 landing spot. Will he? Who knows. The more pressing question I have is whether, if he does stay in college, is he staying here with Pringle climbing fast, possibly Lyle, and Brown, plus whomever we add in the same backfield? Tough to say, we gave him plenty of opportunity but would he get more NIL somewhere else?

this board never ceases to amaze, should Fletcher go pro? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: sure in something other than football. Good heavens what haven't you guys learned over the last 15yrs of the NFL draft and Miami players? Fletcher will never be a NFL back and that is fine, he is a solid college back. He is a great young man by all accounts I will always root like **** for him but he is very limited. Why would he carry some high NIL tag to stay? he has 0 pro future.

Miami will never make the playoffs or win the ACC with him as the primary RB1.

He can stay for 10 years if it makes people feel better, but as long as he's getting the bulk of the carries the run game will continue to be limited.

Can’t be held hostage again by Fletcher and Lyle. Let them go and get an RB1

a player should only leave 1st maybe 2nd round money.. NIL money is more than 3rd round money nowadays..
 
I was reasonably confident that Martinez was an NFL back and he hasn’t been able to stick(I’ve also heard there might be more there than football)

I like Fletch but don’t feel he’s a better prospect than Martinez was. I don’t think he leaves early in hopes of being a late round pick when he can get paid to be here. I’m not sure what happens to Brown and Lyle.
