Running back has Miami at number 1

[Ghandi]

I'm not that high on Bentavious Thompson so I wouldn't mind this kid being the 2nd running back in the 2017 class.

I would have to disagree on your thoughts on Thompson respectfully.

I've actually witnessed BenT in person a few times. He's legit. 4* type of back. Good not great speed. Runs in the mid 4.6 to high 4.5 range. He has great ability between the tackles and a very good weapon in the pass game and a great blocker. Very strong and physical player. Possess something Miami doesn't have at RB yet. Would be what people wish/want Gus to be.

Thompson has performed very well against some of the top competition in Dade.

We'll agree to disagree respectfully though.

Ive seen him also last year... kid is definitely legit... I like him he went for over 1000 yards as a sophomore.. if he continues, he will be a 4 star for sure

He's also like a 18yr old Sophomore, or something crazy like that.

Essentially, he's 2 years older than anyone else in his graduating class.

He should be killing it out there. The fact that he's just OK should really scare some folks around here.

I'll say the same thing about him that I said about Ridley last year (who was almost 2yrs older than everyone else)...it'll catch up to him in college.

This.

I don't know about the Ridley situation though cause wr don't take the same pounding as a RB would.

But as far as thompson.... lol 18 YR old sophomore. .... I'm taking those 18 YR old seniors over the 20 yr old.... i never seen him in person. His highlights were alright compared to others.....


Would yall take Ben Thompson over Dexter Williams, Jordan Scarlett etc.... The class of 15' he should be graduating with?

Scarlett is old for his class too if I'm not mistaken.

No, but regardless he is playing against juniors and seniors at a varsity level and performing well...

 

[daddacane]

But but but - Scarlett and the other guys aren't coming either

We're talking about their level of physical maturity.

Kid shouldn't be here; he's just not explosive enough to eat the extra two years on.

Alright he'll be almost 20-21 when he reports to camp.... and he'll be arriving one year before arite burns brother think about that... he's not elite he's above average at best... you know how much talent hasn't been spotted at running back yet? Shooooooooooooooot no one's safe 2017 if you ask me
