The Bank (2/17) (team)

[DMoney]

Spring practice is two weeks away, but Miami is hard at work with the 2024 team and the Class of 2025. I posted some news on recruiting here. Some quick hitters on off-season workouts for the weekend:

- The staff doesn't think there are any lemons in the class athletically, based on early returns. Here are several names that they can't wait to see in pads: Cole McConathy, Cam Pruitt, Marquise Lightfoot, Zaquan Patterson, JoJo Trader and Ny Carr...

Spring practice is two weeks away, but Miami is hard at work with the 2024 team and the Class of 2025. I posted some news on recruiting here. Some quick hitters on off-season workouts for the weekend:

- The staff doesn't think there are any lemons in the class athletically, based on early returns. Here are several names that the staff can't wait to see in pads: Cole McConathy, Cam Pruitt, Marquise Lightfoot, Zaquan Patterson, JoJo Trader and Ny Carr. I'm told Trader and Carr are already two of the top athletes at WR. Elija Lofton is also a guy who is turning heads with his football instincts, weight-room exploits and mentality. "He's an animal."

- Elijah Arroyo is already developing chemistry with Cam Ward. NFL prospect if he stays healthy. Ward is what everybody expected so far.

- There are going to be a lot of new faces competing at running back. Chris Johnson, Jr. is going to have a huge opportunity this spring due to injuries. Everybody is excited to see what he can do. "We need to get the ball in his hands." There are also high expectations for Jordan Lyle to compete immediately when he arrives this summer. Chris Wheatley-Humphrey has people believing he will be a good player in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if we add a portal kid here.

- DT transfers CJ Clark and Marley Cook are impressing with their work ethics. They put in extra time and compete with motors.

- There have been some questions on Chase Smith. I'm told he is full go.

Cole McConathy is the hidden gem of this class. I would not be surprised if he ends up being a multi year starter at edge for us. 6A Alabama football is no joke and dude was a game wrecker against really good competition.

Is it just me or can anyone else only see a small bit of the post on both banks?

If we portal in another RB it has to be a difference maker. We can't bring in another Allen, Parrish type. I'd much rather watch CJFutureK.

Strange to hear that lots of new players will be competing at RB given how many guys are due back.

Added a note on Nino Francavilla.

Honestly not surprising to me for a couple reason. One is injury of course, at least for spring. Also I still don't think we have a true gamebreaker at RB yet. I think all the guys on our roster are very good backs who can get the job done, we just don't have the kind of RB that makes opposing DCs scheme around him.

Do you expect both Citizen and Parrish to be on the team next year? I honestly can't see us with 7 RB on roster with already having to trim what 6-7 kids off if we assume the only other player to be brought in will be a portal WR?

I realize this is the epitome of “show me first” but Arroyo and Riley Williams…come the **** on. You have to get something there

Riley struggled but Mallory was horrific when he first started here too and Riley is more impressive to me

Any word on fletcher

 

[grover]

Truly healthy Arroyo and Chase Smith would fill two of the biggest needs on the team at TE and OLB. Really hope they can come back with a Chaney or better type post-injury season.

 

[supersaiyanshel]

One of my biggest concerns is Dawson figuring out a way to get as much speed as possible on the field at once.

We have to be more creative w some of these speed guys we have in the backfield.

I'm sure there is a reason for it but clicking the "continue reading" button is an extra step and not needed at all. Just causes more inefficiency.

Arroyo news is very good to hear.

 

[thebutcher]

It’s a breath of fresh air to see the early studs group be the top rated recruits 2 years in a row

Hearing the two DT transfer have high motors tells me they are slightly above average players if that’s the way compliment they get

It was notable because DTs aren’t always the hardest workers. They like both players. I heard they consider CJ Clark a mid-round NFL pick type.

Exactly
For bro ball to work we need a rb that can take it to the house
We haven’t have that since Homer
It was so frustrating seeing our rbs getting caught
