After a week that saw other Canes recruiting targets select other destinations, Miami was in need of some good news on the recruiting front. Thank good news came on Sunday Night:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"><p>I am officially committed to THE U! 🙌 <a href="http://t.co/0bYkeljYpn">pic.twitter.com/0bYkeljYpn</a></p>— J. Cronkrite (@JC_Knows) <a href="https://twitter.com/JC_Knows/statuses/458041823681052672">April 21, 2014</a></blockquote>

And with that, Miami has a 2nd RB in this class, and a pretty darn good one, as Jordan Cronkrite committed to the Canes. Reaction was swift on twitter:

Cronkrite (whose highlights you can see here) is the 10th commitment in Miami's 2015 class, and a huge pull for the Canes. It is well known that he is very close friends with 2 other top targets, Jaquan Johnson and Tim Irvin. Hopefully for the Canes, this commitment leads to others from Irvin and Johnson, and those 3, along with the other 9 commits, start to recruit other top notch players to join them in Coral Gables.
More reaction will come later, but for now.....
