Ray Lewis III Commits To Miami

  • Brannen55 said...

    I will be very honest. Originally I never thought he would get an offer as a RB. I still dont. My best guess is if we land another RB he will be brought in as a DB. We just landed Duke and Alex Collins. Danny Dillard and Ray could be vital depth. He could be a safety down the road. So we trust Golden and welcome this young man into the Cane fam.

    Yeah I think he will be a DB at The "U". I think he'll be a around 210lbs safety when it's all said and done.

  • Wow! Flipping through these post I thought for a minute "Canes R able" is back and he created 151 accounts and is arguing with himself.

    #1 welcome to the u

    #2 i know this young man n talk to him often, i work out with one of his homeboyz sometimes he is small but he has good genes, RB's do not need to be tall, they need to be quick and tough and he has both. He is 5"8 ish and is now 180 he can dunk a basketball so he is very athletic. He runs a legit 4.55

    #3 he is a Junior where will he be ball fall camp 2013, he could easily be 5"10 200 running a 4.4

    #4 his dad is the supplement king in the nfl, this kid will be strong and hardworking, he will help our team on and off the field.

    #5 he is high character, his dad will be retired next year and will bevaround our program for the next 4 years.

    #6 trust Goldens eval over u arm chair recruiters, this kid played good comp in the playoffs and had 208 yards. The staff full well knows schollies are tight etc etc this kid deserved an offer period

  • Man I've been missing out on a lot of the craziness. It continues to be funny how mob mentality sets in when an unpopular opinion is given.

  • I don't think anyone is meaning to bash the kid. Just many are stating their opinion that they don't think he is UM caliber. That's it.

    I personally hope the kid proves everyone wrong. I really do. Im gonna root for the kid once he puts the orange and green on. But as of right now, I just don't think he should have been offered yet. We could have waited on this one. But like I said I hope he makes me eat crow.

    I don't mind that we offered. Ray Lewis has earned that ship and more for his son. We can never re-pay him for all the things he has and will continue to do for our university. This is just showing him a token of our appreciation.

    There is no debate really though, he isn't UM caliber.

  • If we had schollies to throw away this year it would be far less of an issue. However this is not the year. I'm sorry. I get what you're saying with the respect thing, but I can not stress that this is not the year for it.

    I completely agree... my very first post on it said i wished so badly that this was 2011 signing class. 1 scholarship out of 33 is a lot different then 1 out of 16. Regardless, I don't blame them for doing it. A happy Ray Lewis is worth it.

  • I have never posted on this site, nor any fan site for that matter, but the level of disgust and fury built within me after reading some of these comments from so-called "fans" is unbearable. First, let me say that I am no authority on what constitutes being a fan. But I have called myself as much (of UM football) for the past 20+ years. And I have never been as embarrassed as I am to carry that title as I am today. I absolutely hate the fact that I am associated with people like those who have posted previously regarding Ray Lewis III. Besides the fact that he is talented, which I know is a subjective measure, and who I feel has as much potential as any recruit we could possibly sign in this class...he is also the son of a legendary living alum of the program. Not that this scholarship is some kind of nepotistic token of appreciation to ray senior (which if it were, would in and of itself be completely ok), but the kid earned it. The only conclusion(s) that I could possibly draw from this thread is that: (1) some of you posters who have suggested otherwise are very much the entitled fan base that the rest of America have grown to abhor. These kids owe you nothing. If anything what is owed is to those who poured blood sweat and tears onto Greentree such as current/former players. [And no, it's not ok to think we offer a scholarship so that Ray Senior can become a coach or donor to the program...that is equally disrespectful](2) you are star-grubbing whores who have no appreciation for talent. (3) You have no appreciation for family, camaraderie, brotherhood, loyalty or any similar sounding adjective that has defined this football program for decades. (4) Realize that some of your words are no less damaging to the program than Nevin Shapiro's (i.e. giving no credence to the fact that these message boards can easily be viewed by commits such as Lewis himself and other recruits) and finally (5) that Scott is a bit$ch.

    I hope they offer Marley's son too.....F all of U.

    I'm coming out of retirement to say some of you guys are hilarious(in a very ignorant way) it amazes me how you believe yourselfs to be so update and have so much knowledge that you decide who is worth a scholarship and who isn't. Well here's the deal if you had the knowledge then you would be the one making millions of dollars coaching a d-1 school!!!! But by you spending your time on here clearly you don't so shut up already!! Scott you are funny in a whole different way cause you want Miami to take a CHANCE on you but yet don't are passionate about how someone else doesn't deserve one!!! That's completely hypocritical. Oh and as far as being back thing, anybody remember alabama 5 years ago??? Were they back NOPE but there sure were signs pointing to the fact they were on the way!!!! Of you can't read the signs then don't whine just get some glasses and get better football iq!!! I will end with this, if the kid never sees the field but ray shows up for games on regular basis and other recruits see and talk to him and commit because of him then this is the BEST scholarship EVER awarded.

    Agreed 100%, and not only that this pickup makes father Ray coaching for us next year a huuge posibility, and just imagine the recruiter he would be....
    I'm not convinced this kid is a wasted scholarship at all he has talent, heart, works hard and he's gonna push any player thats above him on the chart you can bank on that; but even to all the genius, psychic non-believers out there just imagine what would u do to have father Ray seating in a kid's living room pitching for U... Because trust me Ray is gonna be wherever his son ends up, football family doesn't come close to blood family, but join the two together and you have a powerful combination...
    GREAT PICK-UP AND WELCOME TO YOUR U!

    He plays for Montreal Alouttes in the CFL. He got signed by the Eagles & walked off the field 4 days in...

    Marc Trestmann is his coach.... (finalist for our HC position)
