He's awesome on NCAA 2012 for XBOX too!
Yes I did
Redshirt sophomore. He's eligible to go after this year. Doubt he will though.
1st Cane to ever start the season with 5 one hundred yard games on the ground...that's a lot of big names he is passing by.
Actually he may go, considering the likely probation coming next year. Not much to play for, especially if he's pegged to be a top 10 pick.
Only difference is all the ones you listed above.. except Edge fought for playing time.. Portis, Gore, McGahee on the same team. sick squad
I see some DMC, but he more reminds me of Portis back when he could motor. Southridge alum here.
I'd be shocked if he didn't go pro. If he gets a 1st round grade he'd be dumb to stay in school.'r0llin_game said:
He's Portis 2.0 in my opinion. I like his elusiveness and the way he sets up defenders in the 2nd level before he crosses the line of scrimmage.
Love Ottis. He was the original Canes superstar back along with Chuck Foreman. Mel Bratton would have been a stud NFL back had he not blown out his knee..
I like that comparison. Is he as fast as portis in his prime?
No doubt but I seem to remember a guy named Terrell Davis who went in the 6th, Bradshaw went in the 7th, maybe he's not a stud but he has been productive. Daniel Thomas is not the answer, he looked terrible at times last year. Reggie Bush...miracle season last year, his contract runs out, doubt Miami resigns him. Lamar Miller is going to be a big part of the offense and the passing game. Look at the packers and how they use their RBs, I think Miller is better than both Ryan Grant and James Starks...I see him doing very well in Miami. he's gonna look great in teal n orange.
They don't really use them much.
Miami has sent several guys to the NFL in the last couple seasons that were not drafted high but are already kicking ### in the NFL. Shannon could recruit, couldn't coach as well though. Shields in GB pops to mind. The Phins have not taken a Miami guy in a long time, it's good for the fan base down here. Lot of great players have come out of Miami, not sure why you would roll your eyes but being an alum I'm used to itThat's the way to turn around a franchise...take the local talent.

Grant was doing very well before the injuries. I think he had 275+ carries at least once. I think Miller could easily be a 250+ touch guy rush/rec, maybe not right away but he has a nice OLine now to run behind I might add. It's cool ID, I expect some good ribbing from you. I fired this thread up because I believe in this guy's talent. I think it's great that his value us now down. If Miami had taken him in the 2nd/3rd, he might have gone top6/7...now he will slide down further and you might steal him with a 1.11/1.12/2.01 in dynasty...could be some really good value. He is going to be used, Miami traded up for him so i doubt they toss him on the bench for the next 3 years. Daniel Thomas is not a Philbin type back and I see Miller making an impact.

Those guys are few and far between. All i'm saying is preaching that a guy is a stud in the 4th round is counting chickens before they hatch.
I like Miller.But the pick smacks of 'let's pick a local star and sell a few more season tickets'.
It seems clear that Mia took the break time to evaluate the remaining talent and must have come to the conclusion that Miller was a super value worth trading up for at the start of today. I think Mia clearly had him at the top of the board of remaing players and made it happen.
With how well Bush played last year, it seems like drafting a 2 down who's useless on goal line plays is just unnecessary given their WR needs.
Exactly. I don't trust this. I think the Lions would have jumped all over this guy last night had they felt he was the real deal.Looks to me more like the owner wanting to crank up some interest.
fair enough. I haven't watched a whole lot of Miami ball, but the limited amount I have seen of Miller the guy who came to mind recently was Bell.
He's not useless at the gl and he can be a 3 down back. Bush only had a 2 year deal and they have to try and sign Jake Long to an extension which is seeming more and more unlikely with martin being drafted. Miller is 5"11' 215 lbs, ideal build for an NFL RB, he could add a couple pounds and probably will but he has really good speed, Miami needs these types right now. He is going to get touches.
So much for being a 1st round pick as he goes in the 4th round
