Mark Walton

Little bit of bad news and we have posters turning on the kid already.

I remember what everyone was saying about Scarlett when it appeared Miami had little chance on him.

Sony's parents got new jobs from georgia. If you think losing Walton isn't a big deal…. He will be a top 5 rated back in THE COUNTRY next year. He is a beast. The stories are real and this is not "new" news. If they close his parents, it's over.

Is this what you and your crew at CaneInsider are reporting?
 
Nobody has even crystal balled him to Georgia yet FWIW. I have trust in Coley, Ice, and all of the BTW players on our team to keep him.
 
This is like when Louisville was convinced they were getting Chad Thomas around this time last year. Or when Arkansas was convinced they were getting D Jackson on NSD.

I'm not saying Walton isnt a good running back... He is good. But he is not one to cry about. And yes Scarletts combine numbers look better than his film, But u cant ignore the 4.3 40's and the size.
 
Four-star running back Mark Walton verbally committed to Miami on September 29.


Mark Walton has reclassified to the 2015 class.

He visited Florida State and Georgia over the weekend.

Could he be opening things up soon?

“I’ve been calling Miami and no one is answering,” Walton told 247Sports.com on Tuesday morning. “I’m not hearing from them. I just don’t want to de-commit. I’m going to wait until next week and if they don’t contact me then I’ll pull the trigger and open up my options. It might be time to move on. I’ve had that feeling, but I’m going to stay committed to Miami but a de-commit could be coming soon.”


The Miami (FL) Booker T. Washington standout camped at Florida State on Friday.

“I like how they pass the ball to their backs on screens,” Walton said. “(Tight ends) coach (Tim) Brewster isn’t telling me anything just to get me. He just wanted to get me on campus so I can see it for myself. He told me some reasons why to like FSU and how they won the National Championship. I like how (running backs) coach (Jay) Graham takes his time, correct things and breaks it down for you.”

The nation’s No. 14 running back in the 2015 class according to 247Sports.com Composite Rankings then went to Georgia the next day.

“I loved it,” Walton said. “I loved the atmosphere and felt the vibe. I was ready to work there. Coach (Mark) Richt pulled me aside. He knew me and where I was from. He said he was impressed with what I was doing. He asked me if I knew anything about Georgia and I told him I like how they pound the ball and run it. He told me to go talk to their running backs like Sony Michel.”

How do things stand now?

“I would say Florida State is one, Georgia is two and Miami is three,” Walton said. “I’m not worried about the other backs Miami has committed. I said that when I was at The Opening. I’m not worried about Jordan Scarlett, Dexter Williams or Jordan Cronkrite. I don’t care about that. I know I can outwork them. I’m just concerned about how inconsistent the communication has been. I’m trying to call them and no one answers the phone. The other guys committed after me and I felt like they forgot about me. If that’s the case I’ll go find another school.”

As a sophomore, Walton had 100 carries for 871 yards and 14 touchdowns helping Miami (FL) Booker T. Washington to state and national championships.

Interesting, surprised we are slow playing him.

I hope the staff truly isn't slow playing him. I would hate for them to play mind games with a kid who's been committed for quite some time and worked his *** off to reclassify. I like Walton and would like him in this class, along with the other 3.
 
The excuses are coming for him to de-commit. IMO the other 3 RBs have more to do with it then the lack of "communication". We're suppose to believe he can't reach Ice
