Miami thinks they have a real uphill battle. 

I expect a battle, as it should be!

I thought I saw a tweet from his dad that he had some turn of the ankle but still was able to have that crazy speed burst run. Kid is special.

Looks like Willis McGahee to me. Wonder if Miami is selling him on that.

Like I said, don't even look at or care about anything they say, since knocking down Banks to a 4* for volunteering to play RT in one of those All American games, a position he'd never played & never will.

Hold onto him, and go find the under recruited 3* RB from Texas who will be a draft pick. There is at least one literally every year. Don't expect Wisner or Baxter back next year, and who knows on Gibson if he gets passed by Clark and Simon.

I'd be more than happy with Cooper alone but I'm a fan of Ashton Rowden and would love it if somehow they both ended up in the class

@Gerry Hamilton what's his ceiling once he quits playing lb and puts all his focus onto rb?

Unless something changes, Cooper will be the only high school RB take for Texas in the 2026 cycle.  They have allocated all of their NIL budget for RB to just him in this cycle.  Imo they would go portal before taking another high school RB if needed.
