Dalvin Cook, 5-star RB, Miami Central

[deters-]

Could you imagine getting both? We would be like Auburn when they had Cadillac and Ronnie Brown!

we would immediately be investigated by the NCAA.

[usfvictor]

question is are they taking the OVs the same weekend? and when?

[BullFan98]

One would be a huge get, but two would be a game changer.  For once we would have good and consistent depth.  Pipe dream in my opinion (to get both).  They are both highly competitive and want substantial playing time, therefore I don't see it happening.  Not to mention all of the other offers these kids have and will continue to get.

Ok.  here is what I know

 

1) Yearby was UM commit   until early this summer he started waffling. don't know why but it's widely reported. About the same time he starts showing up at USF public events as an unofficial. Recruiting sites begin considering Yearby a "soft" commit to UM

 

2) Video(also this summer) shows Yearby waffling on commitment . Dalvin Cook is solid to UF

 

3) Recent events have Yearby suddenly announcing an OV to USF In and of itself perhaps no surprise

 

4) Directly after that reports start surfacing that Cook is soft to UF. Muschamp's stock is plummeting. And then out of left field comes the leak that Cook has added USF to his planned OV's.

 

Would really close friends Cook and Yearby rejoin beloved Coach Telly Lockette in a run oriented offense of Coach Willie Taggart? Are these  "courtesy" visits? Guess we'll have to see.

 

Oh, and they ran for a combined 375 yds last game

 

I also like the way you think.  I just wonder why two stud RBs would want to go to the same team where the head coach historically relies on one workhorse RB.

 

 

I don't know about that before Shaw's injury he used 2 RBs, after he went to 3 different ones.  If you have 2 stud RBs, it puts a lot of pressure on defenses because the RBs will always have fresh legs.  Plus, they were teammates before and looks like they'd like to be again.

 

 

Yeah, but when Shaw was starting Pierre was getting a handful of carries.  I think Alabama is doing this now, but it is very rare for both to get enough carries to prove it to the NFL scouts.

Seems to me that if you want a run-heavy offense, as CWT seems to, two running backs of this caliber would be ideal and the hope would be that there would be more than enough carries to go around.  

[Reliable Source]

Kinda worked for Csonka and Morris.

[jasonb56]

Cook is also visiting FSU... but not Yearby. I think if they BOTH want to play together, USF is the best fit!

[JTrue]

In recent years, it worked for:

 

LenDale White and Reggie Bush at USC
Marion Barber III and Laurence Maroney at Minnesota
Darren McFadden and Felix Jones at Arkansas
Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown at Auburn
Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson at Alabama

Maybe these recruits know something we don't about our future conference home? Juss sayin.

I think usf's NFL connections are what's bringing visits. I would be shocked if one of them signed.
