Four-star EDGE prospect Elias Rudolph, previously committed to Michigan, announced his decision to flip to the Hurricanes on Saturday evening.

According to the 247sports composite rankings, Rudolph stands as the #292 prospect in the nation. He's the #21 rated EDGE. Within the state of Florida,, Rudolph is ranked of the #40 overall player.

Hailing from the renowned Deerfield Beach High School, a traditional powerhouse in high school football, Rudolph stands at 6’4” and weighing 205 pounds, with a projectable frame at his position

With Rudolph's commitment, Miami's 2024 class now holds 20 commitments. He joins Marquise Lightfoot, another pass-rushing edge talent in the recruiting class.

Great pickup, this is how Miami should be recruiting going forward. Don't tell any insiders anything and work in silence

Honest question because I'm not going to look up what you said at the time....but is that what you said when he committed to Michigan?

I didn’t call him mid but I did ask why people were so worked up. I’m just not his biggest fan

There are a handful of comments in here stating we are ‘stacked’ at DE.

Here’s the projection for 2024:

Edge or Jack: Kelly/Wayne?/Harvey if he returns for a 6th year/Moss/Lightfoot/Rudolph
SSDE: Bain (who may end up at 3T to replace LT)/Wayne (if he gains enough weight to move over from Edge)/Acheampong/Chantz (if he doesn't portal)

That's 9 total DEs - some are specifically Edge/Jack players and some SSDE roles only - with Harvey and Chantz as possible Grad Transfer or Portal candidates.

If Bain slides inside, we don't have any depth at SSDE. If Bain slides inside and Wayne doesn't grow to about 265-270, it'd have to be something totally different than one what we do this year.

We could say "hey, we'll get a portal guy," but we also likely need 2 portal DTs. I think Moss needs to finally show up on the field by next year and Lightfoot would have to be an immediate contributor for us to say we're "stacked."

Crazy we all just can't be happy when we land a kid anymore. Slurpers taking shots left & right in the thread. Stfu & enjoy a commitment from a very nice prospect. EVERYONE that's here on the regular wants the same thing and that's Miami to win. Nice pickup. Lets go!

These positive threads have turned into more complaining about “mopes” and “star whores” THAN ACTUAL moping or star whoring

I'm no longer guessing as to the behind the scenes. I'm just gonna analyze the class when it's done, and provide info on the Franklin recruitment.

This recruiting cycle is simply too bizarre at this point for me to glean too much.

The only logical conclusion that I can reach is that we can afford certain highly ranked players; Lightfoot, Rudolph, Riley, Trader, and not others; Simmons, Stewart, Ahfua.

Agree I don’t know why ppl keep saying we are stacked. We aren’t stacked.

Kids long and rangey, I know he’s not as tall and doesn’t have the frame to add weight in the same manner, but saw some similarities to Rousseau in a few plays. When he beats his guy it’s one step and collision. He brings it when he makes contact too.

At least we got talent. Cristobal and crew will adjust for this problem, if it becomes one, when needed. I’m just happy UM got talent

Can moss not play Jack and drop into coverage etc??? On 3rd downs? I’m ok if he takes another year to try and gain weight I just don’t want to lose out on any chance he may transfer cause he never sees the field. He should be in on special teams at least right

That's the hope with him right now. We definitely gotta get him on the field in some capacity or he's gonna go home.
