Jordan Scarlett Update 1/26

[User-4525]

Scarlett is a two in one. We land Scarlett. Bruce will be solidified. Both are dead set on playing together at the next level.


IMO. Yes, Scarlett will be a Cane. That visit back to Miami after the FSU visit this weekend says a lot IMO.

I really want to see what FSU is going to try selling to him. Yes they have been competing and doing very well and are a year removed from a championship. But their will be transition, a new qb as well as Dalvin seems to be set to be the featured back for the next 2 years and Patrick is already on campus.

UF's pitch IMO was very weak to go along with an extremely weak class. They were basically banking on the kid to save them.



I've always said if Scarlett is smart and wants to get to the league. Miami or FSU will be that path.

What was UF's pitch?

They were selling McElwain and how he coached Ingram, Richardson and Lacy. Who IMO, Ingram had no business being at the pro bowl. Not a fan of him at all. I don't think Ingram is bad but I don't feel he had a pro bowl worthy season.

UF has a really bad class at the moment so he wouldn't have had a solid foundation coming in with him.


UF doesn't have Kaaya who is a major selling point for Miami.

DMoney mentioned that years ago he had talked with someone and they mentioned that Lamar would be a better back than Richardson.

UF has a legacy kid Kelvin Taylor at RB for them and they are high on the Adam Lane kid and Powell.

I don't see UF rubbing off Fred Taylor's son in the wrong way and putting Scarlett over him.



I was never able to picture Scarlett at UF. Miami or FSU I can see. UF is where RBs and WR's go to dissapear. Would be a bad fit for Bruce too.

From a source very close to the situation, UF pitched to scarlett and Cronkrite that they would be able to play right away because taylor doesn't run hard and Lane is always out of shape

The only reason Ingram was in the pro bowl, cause Marshawn Lynch is playing in the super bowl... and if they tried to put Scarlett in front of Taylor.... it would be a big problem at UF.... and Taylor was already complaining this year cause Matt Jones got more carries than him... imagine if a Freshmen that comes in during the summer n overtakes him....

McElwain and his staff seem to have no problem throwing UF's current players under the bus in their recruiting pitches.

They supposedly tried the same thing with Lamar Jackson by taking a shot at Treon Harris: https://twitter.com/MarkEnnis/status/544901523181174784/photo/1

 

[grover]

Edwards made vast improvements over the season in his pad level and running between the tackles. I didn't think he had it in him, but he is a pretty decent back now. I see him getting carries for the tough yards until Scarlett has at least 1 year of college S&C, and probably 2. That said, I agree that Gus is going to be more of a fullback by 2016.

Why do guys keep writing off Yearby (and Chocolate if he stays at RB)? They're both local legends in their own right. The beauty of this is that we will have 3-4 of the top RBs in the country all on one team.

 

[unionandsixth]

Scarlett and Walton pass Edwards on the depth chart after one practice.

Agree.

Nah man. We open against Bethune-Cookman and FAU. Gus is going to dominate in those games.

Terrible on UF's staff to do that actually. What's gonna stop these kids from thinking that they will do the same with them some years down the road if they don't pan out?

 

[Canesfan1899]

Would be huge to hold on to this kid.

Is this your opinion on what their pitch was or do you know? Kyle said they pitched something different that what you said, you are both staff writers.

I wouldn't talk in absolutes if you are just speculating.

 

[supacane]

Scarlett is not going to FSU, sorry. Kids rarely flip on signing day like that. Rarely. When they have been dumping Miami they do it months out.

IMO Chocolate(Gray) doesn't look like a natural RB.

Feel he would be best suited as a WR and play RB out of the wildcat.

Although I do agree Gus has improved. He has still been suspect.

I'm not one on the train of writing Yearby off BUT


Scarlett. I have seen him in person. BIG kid. Physically and athletically impressive. He passes the eye test. Scarlett is actually very well deep into strength and conditioning already.

Both Scarlett and Bruce are very physically impressive for high school kids. They take a very serious approach to the weight room.


Guys who would need more time in weight room is Yearby and Walton. They would need more mass. Not knocks on them at all though.


Scarlett on the other hand. He comes physically ready day one. Will he make more gains in the weight room in college? Yes, but he is a bull already.


Which I had a conversation with D$ about this. Sam Bruce will play early in college as well. He's very advanced for a high school WR even from technique and route running.

Scarlett has come out and spoke about the whole McElwain and Bama Runningbacks. That is one of the selling points as well as early playing time.

If McElwain is throwing their current backs under the bus it wouldn't surprise me as he has already started that with other players on the gators roster.

This guy seems to be good at throwing his players under the bus. 1st with that QB he said Harris is too small and not the QB for his system, and now this.

Beat me to it.

 

[TallyCane]

Isn't his mom a little skeptical on FSU?

 

[D_Canes]

From what I was told, Scalett had a decent time on his UF visit, but people close to him don't feel like it was enough to make him flip. I was also informed that following his visit to FSU this weekend, Scarlett plans on returning to Miami for an unofficial visit before signing day. That last visit means a lot more than people think because it gives Miami the last chance to see him before he signs any letter of intent.

This is true until it isn't. I'm encouraged that it's the plan pre-trip...but lets be honest...if he falls in love with FSU, he won't make it to campus.

 

[Geo305]

Isn't his mom a little skeptical on FSU?

Yes but she mentioned she will not get in the middle of his decision.

I've always said if Scarlett is smart and wants to get to the league. Miami or FSU will be that path.

I think Dalvin is the key here. The reality is that Dalvin will get the majority of the carries there for the next two years, guaranteed. Also you can't sleep on Pender either, I expect that dude to finally turn the corner for them and become a player. Talent wise he is right there, and I expect him to become Cook's backup. Playing time will be more available here than at FSU, and hopefully he and his fam see this and realize his best bet is in Miami. The one thing we still do have working for us, is that Miami is still as good as any school out there if making it to the league is a priority.

We need Scarlett in the worst way. We need to give our next HC a fighting chance, that is why closing on players like Scarlett and Calloway is so important. Sure the class is still a giant disappointment, but it is still good enough that any competent coach should be able to beat anybody not named Clemson or FSU, and even with those two stay competitive against them.

 

[Copeseticman]

Bring in the closer, Al!

 

[bobbydigius]

noles are still very confident they will finish with Scarlett, Shelton Johnson, and Fenton.

Somebody is getting trolled hard.

Why wouldn't they be confident? Still doesn't mean they land all three.
