New Commit-Terrance Henley 2015 DB

His other offers were Tennessee State and James Madison, how Al the master recruiter Golden stole him away is amazing.

You may not be an idiot but you are ill-informed of the nuances of the recruiting process.

When a HS student/athlete who has never previously been a can't miss recruit while being known as a non-qualifier and that word is out, not only would the pay sites ignore all the facts about you but D1 coaches steer clearly away from that athlete as well. Lower division D2a or lower have boatloads of exceptions to bring in these initial D1 non-qualifiers after NSD. As did Terrence. As a matter of fact, lower divisions get many if not most of their players after signing day. Thurston Armbrister came to us this way by sheer happenstance but in the same way, where in this Terrance case we got him by word of someone new on staff that communicates with all HS coaches and knows all about the nooks and cranny of what former "unqualified students" cut the mustard late. Plenty of these good quality ballas get clearance late. Lots of stud ballas go to the TSU and JMU of college Football because these types of schools take loads of these non-initial qualifiers, as that one D2a college and constant BCS NC that keeps beating D1 schools but just refuses to move up to the same higher D1 division from where he keeps beating those teams. They ain't moving knowing that the gravy train of these quality non-qualifiers won't be going up with them to that higher D1 level.

Bottom line this is a pick up that has nothing bad with it; it's all good actually.

I'm fine with taking this kid because he plays a position of need but the chances him being any better than a JAG are extremely low. Golden has regularly taken unknown kids after signing day and only one of them ended up being a starter, Armbrister. If he's a special teams contributor I'll be happy but I'm not expecting much, even if he qualifies.
 
He's solid... He's definitely a rotational player and a special teams contributor. His film was alright but nothing spectacular. He plays the field well. He's a solid cover man as well... He's not a scrub...

Where did you see his coach say this about Leroy Henley planning to play with his cousin in college? Curious to see the source since we offered Leroy Henley last Halloween (according to 247), so they clearly like him.

It was mentioned in a few interviews Henley's coach did after Henley committed as he was asked to comment. It was on CanesSport, canesinsider and a couple of other sites. Not sure if they share information of if it was from different interviews.
 
So Golden offers a kid like this but passes on a kid like Isaiah McKenzie and Quincy Wilson last class.

Makes sense, this guy is a moron.
 
13 int in 2 years & wasn't recruited because of suspect grades/ACT. Miami fans are rough....kid looks like a ballhawk that will get faster hopefully for the next regime.
 
You motha****as kill me with "he not in the database."

who gives a **** about a recruiting site? The tape dont lie, look and see if he's a baller or not.

Lord knows we needs CB's with more speed. We've signed enough highly rated DB's that aren't quick enough. We should be happy to see us sign a kid that can run, and has been a productive DB with double digit picks playing against S.Fla competition the last two years.
 
I'm fine with taking a project but it doesn't negate the absolute failure that was our CB recruiting in the 2015 cycle. CB was a position of need and we just didn't bring in enough talent to make up for losing Gunther and now likely Crawford.

The University of Miami should never be lacking in talent and depth at the DB position. Never, shouldn't happen.

You forget Corn Elder? After signing day take.

No I didn't, read my post again. I was speaking to the unknown players Golden has taken. Obviously Elder was known as he was pretty much a consensus Top 200 recruit.

Corn Elder was a 4star like Mr Tennessee back to back years in basketball and football or some **** with other high level offers...

I like the kids film and speed and the fact that him being on our team gives us the inside track on his very talented cousin for 2017 I believe, but don't compare this kid who's only other offers were Tennessee St and James Madison to 4star Corn Elder(ranked the #7 ATH in the nation) with offers from O$U, Auburn, Tennessee, Nebraska etc...
 
This does not excuse Golden for ****ting the bed with Fenton, Baker, etc however the fact that this kid has potentially elite relatives makes it a good take.

This literally made no sense to me.
