Tony Grimes DB 5'11 166Lbs 2012- Seems he won't be coming to Miami. From my understanding of what happened Miami was willing to take him if he was going to be an EE but he couldn't get his grades in order in time. He will be taking a visit to FAU.

Brad Henson OL 6'5 276lbs 2013- Him and his family flew down for Miami's Jr day They really loved the visit when asked about his visit he said "I like coach (Al) Golden a lot, I like the University of Miami, it's a nice campus. And I have faith in what coach Golden's doing. They're going to be a great contender to win the national title."

Demar Dorsey S 6'1 175lbs 2010- Seems he is out of football altogether now the CC he was going to has been shut down. I know Miami was one of the schools he was considering before he went to Michigan. Here is a link to read a little more about it http://cms.grcc.edu/prfootballdiscontinued2012

Leonard Williams DT 6'5 255lbs 2012- Just got back from his FSU visit and he really loved it, and because he loved it so much he says he no longer has a favorite school his old favorites where UF and Auburn. He will be visiting Miami on Jan 27th and hopefully we can make the choice even harder for him by showing him how much better Miami is then those other schools.

Darius Hamilton DE 6'4 245lbs 2012- UF had an in-home visit with him that went well, His mom likes UFs coaching staff. He did take an offical visit to Rutgers. He will be visiting Miami Jan 27th He plans to make his choice Jan 31st

Avery Young OT 6'6 273lbs- Will be taking his last OV at Miami he will be coming down to UM with his dad and his friend and Miami commit AJL. Seems he is keeping an open mind and depending on how our visit goes we could end up as one of his top 3, His current top 2 are UF and Auburn but said nothing is 100% and anything can happen.


Tracy Howard CB 5'11 175lbs 2012- I got a chance to speak to his father for a little bit, said Tracy had a great time on his USC visit and was impressed with the academics of the school. Tracy still isn't sure what school he will visit on Jan 27th Golden is trying very hard to get him to visit Miami on that date. Also regardless of what you read or hear He really does not have a top school as of yet so anyone saying they know what his front runner is really has no clue because Tracy himself doesn't know. FWIW I honestly don't think he will end up at Miami but I think we have a better shot then people think. I just think the kid kind of wants to go away for school. But I wouldn't be shocked if he did come here either though

I know, why was I even looking at that girl's pinkie?, but that's weird looking.

You mean a CB? Cause I think we have a good shot at howard just from what I know it just seems that he wants to be a little futher from home. As for Grimes I was never all that impressed with him so i don't think it's that big of a deal he won't end up here

It will be interesting to see if that weekend ends up being different from past years. I think it was randomwalk last year hat had an extremely enlightening post with regards to the last weekend of the recruiting season. Basically said that despite the build up from fans, that the staff historically knew that it was a free trip weekend.

Golden is still after Cooper as well but it's pretty much a lost cause

you just never know with recruiting for me I would never just say its a free trip while the kids might be thinking that going in I would be willing to bet it won't be when they leave. I honestly believe that a lots of these kids don't realize everything that a school like Miami can give them. I'm posting from my phone so sorry if my post get formatted strange
 
This Howard thing is so confusing. The kid gives off mixed messages all the time. Bakas says the staff isn't even recruiting him anymore....

I have no idea what bakas has said. I know a lot of the info out there is wrong about Howard as far as his recruitment is going like he has never said he favors one school over another but everyone seems to swear they know where he is going when the kid himself doesn't even know yet.
 
Any news on how many schollys left Navy

I not a 100% on the number but I think with the 7 EE we will be bringing in 32 total so I think we only have like 1 or 2 spots left but I could be wrong I don't have my info with me. But even if we oh have 2 left if we have 3 or 4 big name guys that want to commit I bet we take them
