I'm here. This didn't come as a surprise to Jordan at all. He is going to see how things play out but at the same time he is going to do what's best for him and start opening up the lines of communications with other schools.

Once again it's not about competition it's about the best fit for a kid. The staff keeps saying they are only taking 2 and now there is 3 but they have told him where he stands with them and Golden and staff were in contact with the family last night and this morning. The ball is in Miamis court and cronkrite is theirs to lose so let's see how it plays out.

If the 2 vs 3 in the class is an issue, then I don't see how that is related to the "best fit". If Miami is the "best fit", then the number of "RBs" in the class shouldn't matter. The best player is going to play. If he thinks he's the best player, then all he has to do is go prove it. I don't see how this isn't about "competition".

The kid has to compete regardless where ever he goes. Doesn't matter of it's here or at some D3 school in Nebraska but the best fit means where the opportunity is better. For those that think it's about competition pretend that's your son or you and realize you have to take the emotional part about it being Miami and find where they will be happy and achieve success. I'm all for competition and fighting things out but at that position you are almost battling for scraps with the way offenses are now

This is the **** that I cant get through my head. Football is only a small part of the equation. If he were MY son he feels comfortable at Miami, and its been a dream of his to go to Miami, than under no circumstances football wise would I encourage to look else where. These kids need to realize that only a small fraction of players make it to the league. Go where you are comfortable, are going to get a great education and work hard. The NFL makes billions finding talent. If he's good enough, he will play.

Mark Walton coming in this year will be great, Miami doesn't have to recruit him for another year. And we need 3 RB's, only have 2 RB's on roster for 2015.

Anybody saying he should wait until 2016 is an idiot.

U do understand if Walton stays 2016 we will get 3 backs right? But also Cronk has no reason to recommit now. He can take the wait and see approach. There is just so much time left he doesn't need to rush. So as of right now because des hasn't decommited if Walton stays 2016 we'd have 3

Had a very good talk with Jordan Cronkrite's father the other day @JC_Knows. This should clear up a few things...
 
things will work themselves out. when's the last time we had to worry about someone decommiting because we had to many elite commits at the position? GREAT problem to have!

I'm going to guess that all the so called "idiots" ur referring to are laughing at what u just wrote. And FYI I'm one of them. If u think it's better for him to come in this year and possibly force out Cronkite rather than come in next year and hold on to cronkrite this year then u sir need to have ur head checked.

Cronkrite won't start at Miami anyways, not at RB, so it's no big loss. He was the last one of the 4 to get an offer. He knows deep down inside he's not as good the other backs that's why he's in his feelings about it.

He was the last b/c the staff wanted to offer him in the right position.

Man Williams is a RB all the way

Not really, he is the type of player you can line up on the field in the slot or alongside a traditional RB like Yearby, Cronk or Scarlett and use as a KR/PR.

Dex is not a between the tackles RB like Cronk, Yearby and Scarlett, he is a player that is best used in space like a Percy Harvin, getting at the most 5-7 traditional carries a game, and mostly being used in screens, end arounds and at WR.

LMAO @ the thinking of Williams not being a between the tackle type back. Cat has vision that is second to none and doesn't need to be given the ball in space in order to make things happen. Out of the backs that are currently committed. He is leaps and bounds better in every way.

Not buying the Harvin BS that is spewing around this forum other than in the terms. Of finding a way to satisfy all these guys until they sign the LOI. Get all of them in one way our another and then let the cream rise to the top and let the non hackers figure out what to do with their remaining years. Coley already had a great back that is a gift in space and couldn't get him any touches in screens our anything else.

IMO Cronk seems smoother looking on the other side of the ball vs how i view him as a RB. I hope he sticks with his commitment to our program, and with all the guys coming in. Along with what we already posses. I hope he really looks into playing defense. I just don't see him getting over on Yearby, Edwards, Scarlett and Williams. Then all this will really hinge on what Duke does after this season as well. I really don't see him leaving. He loves this school and will do everything in his power to restore us.
 
I know I'm close to this situation but just wait until he gets a full year of being featured. How many 17 year olds that are putting up work like this.
 
I fap to all the different skill sets that Cronkrite, Scarlett and Williams bring to the table. A lot of potential in that group and thats not even thinking about Walton....**** its good to be a Miami Hurricane!

I like JC as a prospect so don't take this the wrong way...it's impossible for him to not look good considering the class WC is in and who they play.

He should get 1500+ yds rushing and 15 TDs.
 
I see no reason all 4 should not stick. Duke has done his part and can go to NFL knowing he carried the program on his back(where would we had been the last 2 years without him?). Gus does not look that great to me so that leaves Joe. 2 years with Joe and one on their own is plenty of time for these backs to make their marks. Duke will be a gift that keeps giving in NFL because his success will keep pro looking at THE U for more of the same. Out of the 4, one is bound to get hurt, maybe two. Then maybe a fourth year will be needed for that one. All these guys will have thick thread left on the tires for NFL. All that said, we could lose one of them easy. I hate to lose a local kid, but I am sure getting to like Williams a lot.
