I may be going out on a limb here, but I feel pretty good about this one.

Wow, this is a shocker! Mike's kid got an offer. I going to climb out on the limb with chicanego.

 

[Ziggy]

Might be a future TE. Glad we offered. Curious to see how he does in his junior year.

From a past article:

While he does not want to focus on the recruiting process, the Miami native definitely has a preferred destination for his son when the time comes.

“My exact words to Mike were this – ‘There are some choices God gives us and some He doesn’t.’ He can’t choose his mom, his dad, his brothers or sisters or what school he goes to. Everything else, he can choose. He WILL go to the University of Miami,” Irvin Sr. said laughing.

That was my thoughts too when I saw his tape a long time ago. Has speed but looks like he could grow into a TE. Depends how his body develops, could be a very good possession receiver, his stats for a high school player are insane. Very very strong, uses his strength to his advantage.

100% a future TE.

He even catches the ball/moves like one.

The kid is still a baby, he'll grow to at least 6'3-6'4 and he'll be about 230 by his senior year.

100 percent huh?

 

[theibisrules]

smh @ this corny ****....Michael Irvin's son as a TE, this is phukkin blasphemous. Possession WR all the way.

 

[Hstokes1447]

He will be a WR all the way and he will be a good one!!

 

[datdude81]

With or without a offer he was gonna be a cane lol bleeds orange and green

 

[NorthFlaCane]

Mike should just pay his tuition and let us get another scholarship player

This kid is a 4 star stud WR, his play on the field has earned the scholarship offer.

It's not about deserving a scholly, obviously he earned one. This is more strategic, where his father probably donates more money to UM than tuition costs.

 

[KLCane]

There are a few former players who will have their football-playing sons get a schollie regardless: Michael Irvin, Ray Lewis, Edgerrin James, Ed Reed and maybe a handful of others.

 

[jandman514]

Will commit this week with all the momentum from the past week. Add another 4 star recruit to 2016

 

[motorcitycane]

It's about time I love to hear about this.

 

[theibisrules]

I'm very excited by all of this....Mike Irvin Sr. is my all time favorite Miami Hurricane

 

[canes732]

so when does he commit

 

[kev13108]

so when does he commit

ASAP would be great but I don't really think it matter when he commits. He's ALL CANE no doubt about it. Cane legacy!!

Walk-ons and Preferred walk-ons get different treatment than scholarship players. Training table stuff, probably residence issues as well. No reason to short change that kid.
