Kevaughn Dingle update

I think it's more of a grade/character thing with dingle because it's hard to believe we can't use a player with his skill set at Miami. I know coach want more exsplosive wr but we need guys that can do the dirty work jumpball/over the middle.

Explosive guy's can do the dirty work too n make it look clean af
 
a lot of hypotheticals being tossed around in here. let this play out before throwing stones
 
You will not compete for championships with WRs running 4.9 forties. Love this dude Dingle for his heart and grit, but he's too **** slow. We need to start signing more game-changers.
 
You guys are jumping to a lot of conclusions based on your past experiences with Larry Coker, Randy Shannon and Al Golden. Mark Richt has been a head coach in the SEC for a long time in which he consistently produced top 5 to 10 recruiting classes. He is not an incompetent recruiter Burning Bridges all over his local stockpile. He spends his free time at local fields talking to young football players and then follows it up by attending high school games on Friday nights. He's not ignoring or mistreating recruits the way Shannon did when he would pull his disappearing act from Thursday through Sunday at the peak of recruiting season. That gentleman was burning bridges. If you want to win the way we all do, which is big and with championships you need game changers, not random guys filling a roster a la Khalil Jones, with all due respect. That is what the staff is doing, looking for game changers. Look at Dalvin Cook, I bet this staff would have had him a Miami Hurricane and I saw him single-handedly beat three or four teams a year in games the Seminoles would have lost. A number of those were against us! From day one, mark richt has said that we need more top-end speed at receiver to compete at a high level. That doesn't mean you don't get a solid possession receiver in the mix, but at some point players just aren't athletic enough for that either. This is Miami, our tight ends run sub 4.9. This young man may end up in our class just yet, and I will welcome him as a fellow Hurricane, but obviously the staff does not feel the return on investment is sufficiently large at this point what he brings to the table.

All I got from this thread (aside from the typical recruiting board **** going back and forth between posters who think they all know everything about every recruit) is that his name is Dingle, and that Lamar Thomas is going to live and coach in Kentucky for the rest of his life (W Ky, Louisville, Kentucky).
 
Where do you guys get this 4.9 stuff from? His recruiting page? That **** probably ain't accurate. He could've ran that forty in 9th or 10th grade for all we know.

One of my former players is listed as a 4.72 on his recruiting page. (he ran that time in 9th grade on a soggy field)
Well that same kid ran a laser 4.47 when he reported to camp as an incoming Freshman in college. (and a 4.42 as a Sophomore)

Herb Waters was listed as a 4.7 as well.

Does Dingle look like a 4.9 on the field?
A 4.9 receiver wouldn't catch a single pass in Dade County.
 
For everyone saying grade casualty, do you wannabe insiders have any proof, links, or quotes from Dingle?

Glue Hands was slow and he caught some passes.

A year and a half ago a college sophomore ran a slow 40 at a camp and some choose to pay attention to that instead of 2 years of producing big time in Southern a Florida at a feeder program.
 
Do yall see a 4.9 on the field though?

Do yall actually think a true 4.9 receiver would catch any balls in Dade County? LOL

I mean, clearly he's not a burner, but I watched him live against Mainland and I didn't see a 4.9 kid. I saw a kid who was bigger and stronger than every speedy kid covering him though. Certainly not a plan-A kid but at the end of the day he's a WR who's big, runs pretty good routes, plays the ball well in the air and has strong hands. (and he'll likely be 6'2"+ 215+) There's always a use for those type of WR's.

So he ran that 4.89 in 10th grade. He looks faster than that to me. He'd catch a lot of balls here. Not sure why the staff wouldn't want him since we know WR is a position of need and we currently have one solidly committed. I like and hope we get Harley but 2 wrs an my boy Deejay(if not needed on D) isn't enough.

I'm nervous about putting all our chips on with Smith/Holloman and don't want to be stuck scrambling for someone late in the game who may not even be on Dingles level.

I trust the staff though, they are obviously aware of all of this so we will see how it plays out.

I have no issues dropping the kid. NONE. It just seems crazy to paint the caring coach picture and not have decency to tell a kid he isn't in the plans . . . well thankfully Richt has a long history of doing it right. I doubt Richt hasn't informed Dingle he isn't in their plans.

So were just all *********ing mentally, hypothetically speaking!

EVERYONE (yes even Father Richt) does it. Slow playing kids is how the game is played.

Well that works both ways. What about all the high school coaches that **** on UM and send there kids up north?

The staff is adding gasoline to the fire by doing this. We all know S Fla is a different animal when it comes to recruiting, you can't start burning bridges and expect everything to be okay.

And you can't (and they shouldn't)expect us to play by different rules of engagement than the rest of the country. It's the name of the game and these ***** just need to get over it.

And yet we're already getting beat out for the "Dalvin Cook" type game breakers in year 1. I'll believe Richt can bring in game changer blue chippers (here) when I see it.
