**I have posted this before but I will reiterate it. Miami’s plan with Dexter Williams has always been to use him in a variety of ways. He may be labeled as a “running back” when he gets on campus, but look for him to play a lot of receiver. Mark Walton’s reclassification was a surprise to many, so it will be very interesting to see if Williams continues to buy into the potential of this role, as it seems like he is willing to play up to this point.
I'm probably reading too much into this, but this sounds like a far more encouraging blurb than the widespread speculation that he flat out won't end up in this class. Specifically the part about how he's willing to play as a movable chess piece and is buying into the potential of that role in the offense.
The ultimate pipe dream scenario at RB in this class -- which I admit is completely unrealistic -- is for Walton to somehow not reclassify (hope to land him in 2016), hang onto Williams and sell him on this RB/WR role, keep Cronkrite, and add Scarlett as the second traditional RB. Williams potentially playing a lot of receiver could convince Cronkrite that there would be just two true every-down RBs in this class, which is apparently important to him.
It's greedy to even think of that, even while acknowledging how unrealistic it is. But dammit I want...
