00:00 And for the second straight year, because the Canes did it with Mark Fletcher last year,
00:03 taking him out of Ohio State's class.
00:05 They do it with another Ohio State committed running back, Jordan Lyle.
00:09 I like this player a lot.
00:11 Uh, six foot, 180 pounds as a senior at St.
00:16 Thomas Aquinas, which of course is a mega college, a high school football program.
00:19 As a senior, he ran for a career high, 1,376 yards.
00:24 That was 10.6 yards per carry.
00:26 Scored 21 touchdowns. He also caught 13 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown.
00:32 All of this done in 15 games this past year, Bruce.
00:36 And okay.
00:38 So in other words, an all purpose back.
00:40 They can just do the house.
00:42 Right.
00:42 We have, that's really good.
00:44 They have him.
00:45 It's a St.
00:45 Thomas kid, which is even better.
00:47 Yeah.
00:48 Uh, that's, he's done a really good job, but everybody's still
00:51 harping about the quarterback.
00:53 So, you know, we gotta get this kid.
00:56 If we don't get Ward and now we're looking at Jefferson, who to me is not as good.
01:00 As Ward, but I don't think Ward is an NFL first, second, I've seen a late third
01:07 round, early fourth round projection, but that's, that's about the best.
01:10 I think if we get this kid, whether we get Smith or not, we're going to get
01:14 another receiver somewhere that's going to fill the void that we have, because,
01:19 uh, you know, we lost, we lost young.
01:21 He never really had the breakout year.
01:24 He had the potential, but now he's going to.
01:26 So we'll probably go have about a thousand yards.
01:28 We see.
01:29 Yeah.
01:31 But I'm happy about what they're doing.
01:33 I really am.
01:34 You know, and let's talk about this running back situation.
01:37 I think landing Lyle for a number of different reasons is so important for Miami.
01:42 I mean, the obvious is, is we talked about, this is a great player.
01:45 This is a productive player, a local guy.
01:48 Uh, it's really important to keep those pipelines going, you know, being
01:51 able to land multiple players, every cycle from places like St.
01:55 Thomas Aquinas and American heritage.
01:57 And then of course, places like Miami central, like it's, you know, people
02:01 that are asking about, Oh, what happened to the IMG Academy pipeline, which
02:04 was a big deal last year, not a big deal this year, but it's like, okay, that's
02:08 all fine and good, but having these local Dayton Broward high schools, having these
02:13 pipelines is even more important than the academy thing right now.
02:16 Johnson last year, a local.
02:18 Yeah.
02:19 Now you got this kid Wheatley.
02:20 Who's a local.
02:21 Wheatley Humphries.
02:21 Well, he's got blazing speed.
02:24 Yeah.
02:25 Johnson.
02:26 So that's, so our, our running back room is really good.
