2023 DL Rueben Bain Jr. out of Miami Central (FL) was on campus in Coral Gables twice already this month, once last Sunday and once for the underclassman cookout.

“The cookout was great. It was nice meeting all the staff and getting to know them. I got to meet coach (Jess) Simpson, Manny Diaz, coach (Edwin) Pata, coach Ishmael (Aristide) and others. I was actually the first to get there and about one of the last to leave. I walked around with some of the recruits and chilled with them. I also chilled with current players on the team now. I played the games they had out there set up for us.”

Aside from the coaches, Bain also spent time with some Miami freshmen such as Romello Brinson, Kamren Kinchens, Kahlil Brantley, Jake Garcia, and Lawrence Seymore. The group hung out and talked about their high school games against each other, while the coaches were interested in giving Bain an evaluation of his game.

“We talked about my game and what they liked, Bain said of the UM staff. “They were saying that I am a monster on the field and a complete player.”

Bain did not make the trip alone. He was joined by his parents and his defensive line coach from Miami Central.

“They enjoyed it, enjoyed their time, and meeting the coaches. They said the campus was nice.”

Miami and the coaching staff made a point to show off the new freshman dorms to the visitors.

“It was cool, really nice with all the extra things they had on the lower levels.”

The biggest takeaway for Bain was being able to finally spend time in person with the people he has known over the phone for so long.

“Just that in-person feeling and vibe, got to laugh, hug, and everything. Took pictures and really got a good sense of the coaches and who they are in person rather than on the phone or in a Zoom meeting.”

Coach Simpson and coach Pata are the two coaches currently leading the recruitment for Bain and they have made an impression on the Central star.

“Very cool guys. Seem like nice people who I can look up to as role models and leaders.”

Bain did not compete at the camp Sunday while he was on campus since he is nursing an injury. He hopes to be healed by the time Paradise Camp rolls around so he can attend and compete. As for other visits, Bain is looking to visit schools throughout the southeast such as Florida, FSU, UCF, Georgia, and Georgia Tech.

Bain is not ready to release a top group just yet, but he knows Miami is in a good spot at the moment.

“[Miami is] at the top of the list - I don’t know exactly where but somewhere at the top.”

Jeffrey Lee the Auburn 247:writer who went to On3 thinks “Auburn leads big” like “75% he will commit there”.

Harsin gonna get fired soon, if he really wants to commit to an interim coach then so be it. He will either de commit or be in the portal next year

This recruitment has that weird feeling to it for me. I know I’ve seen all of the “he’s having fun and playing the game”, etc but I wouldn’t be shocked for some reason with this kid. I have that Hykeem feeling.

Hoping I am way off and trust what insiders are or have said but it just feels weird that a guy who has a brother and former coach on staff is being hesitant, etc.

I'm not worried about someone who has what a deli's name should be.

From Gaby last night when pressed about Bain:

"A lot going on but Miami still feels confident."

Bain to Auburn is real. Reading some of these ignorant comments about Auburn is comical. Auburn put the full court press on the young man and his family. With Auburn’s NIL and huge bags available to him, Auburn gave the young man something to think about.

His heart is in Miami from what I understand. Auburn’s coaching situation is irrelevant. The experience, the atmosphere on game day and the genuine feeling of family away from home is what recruits love about Auburn. Auburn’s bags have been heavy since the 80’s.

I think he chooses Miami. IMO

This recruitment seems strange but I hope we land this kid.
He’s the type of football player we need on this roster. I like signing players that produce at the HS level, as opposed to projected players based on measurables.

if any recruits values a game day experience as a top priority, he isnt coming here. I trust SWFL on this one. he said miami all along and I have no reason to doubt it.

Didn’t know where to put this but if you’d like to feel old - Dre Kirkpatrick’s son (Dre Jr.) is a 2024 recruit.

From that optimistic senior when pressed about his prom date, who's been seen hanging with the Homecoming king:

"A lot going on with her, but I still feel confident we're going together."

To the extent that's news, it ain't good.
