Carlton Davis - did he visit USF?

[Hurricane Mutiny]

Just asking, he's supposed to make a decision soon.  He says that his mom wants him to stay close to home, so that kinda narrows things down.

 

Didn't see a thread on him, thought I would ask.

No and surprisingly per 247 he's not even on our radar. 

 

If we're talking close to home, why wouldn't he be be a take for Miami? 247 is crystal balling him to you guys, surely he's at least quality depth for the Canes. UF is on him too.

It's a fair question.

 

I think (prior to the last month) that some folks have been uncertain as to how many kids we could sign, and how many spots we were holding onto for the "top recruits" such as Ridley and Burgess-Becker.

 

Davis is good, but he's a 3-star.  Perhaps, before now, he may not have had a "committable offer" from Miami (I hate that term).

 

Within the past month, we cut the 2 LBs loose, and then we got word that one of our DBs (Nate Dortch) is leaving.  So it looks like (even with sanctions) that we will be able to sign more than 20.

 

Hence, my question.  If the kid really is looking to stay in FL, yet hasn't visited the other FL schools, then I would agree with 247 that he is probably Miami-bound.

 

It's also why I made the earlier "scratch-and-dent" comment.  If Miami is expecting to get guys like Tyrek Cole, Calvin Ridley, and Burgess-Becker, or if we pull back from some of the damaged kids (I realize that the 5-star WR from Palm Beach is a 2016 kid), then there might be more wealth available for USF to tap into.

 

Just a conversation.  Nothin' personal.  I just didn't know if y'all were seriously on Davis.  He lists a USF offer, but I didn't see a thread, and you guys tend to have a thread on every guy you think you have a shot with (again, nothin' personal).

 

Best of luck this year.

off topic, but who is the Palm Beach 2016 5 star?  Is he also the UGA issue I heard about, but didn't look into?

[Hurricane Mutiny]

Yes, Darnell Salomon.  I mistakenly said Palm Beach, but he goes to Champagnat in Hollywood.

Off the rails...sorry, Carlton Davis

And I wouldn't rule him out later in the cycle. If UF is after him too its because FSU and Miami are taking the better Miami players right now.

Not to mention our top returning CB (Lamar Robbins) is a Norland graduate. The connection is there I wouldn't be shocked if the staff doesn't look at him soon.
