Marquise Lightfoot commits to Miami

In perhaps the biggest recruiting win of the cycle thus far, the Miami Hurricanes landed the commitment of elite pass-rusher Marquise Lightfoot from Chicago.

Lightfoot, the #6 ranked EDGE prospect and the #67 player overall in the 247 Composite rankings, chose Miami over Ohio State and USC. The 6'5", 220-pound edge rusher from Kenwood Academy sat high on Miami’s overall board due to his combination of length, explosive power, closing speed and effort. I’m told he looked the part of an elite prospect in person, and the coaches absolutely love his aggressive nature on special teams.

While many thought he would sign with the Buckeyes, Miami made a huge move on his official visit this past weekend. This was a huge win for Mario Cristobal, who desperately needed recruiting momentum after the losses of DT Justin Scott and WR Jacory Barney.

How much he weigh now 290? He’s a cheeseburger away from 300 so unless he’s cutting he needs to go inside

275 probably sheesh 290 is nasty work

He looks bigger than 275 but regardless he need to drop 20 pounds to get his speed back up

I’m more excited for the second bunch , the starters just didn’t perform they got beat and pushed around out physical whole season.

I drank the koolaide on these front 7 hoping they man up when needed and they just didn’t not that they couldn’t, they didn’t.

I just can’t drink that koolaide again hoping Beck can score 60 points a game .

They better show up first offseason workouts like X did or this new DC looking with fierceness will surly see how weak we really are up front.

Watch the new DC will pick up on this no doubt

I’ll push back the ones that seemed to falter the most was Baron, Alston, and Clark. Those dudes got paid to make a difference and yet proved to be JAGs here

Barrow was the exception and seemed at times the only one who could any pass rush leading the team in sacks. Relying on true freshman in the trenches should be the exception and not the rule as only special talents like Francis prove their ready day one… also speaking of day one starters Bain did have a bad sophomore slump and just didn’t look right from the hamstring since the Florida game. Big year for him as he has the talent to dominate

Definitely unintentional. I had written a sentence on Lowe that I edited out. I was going to post that Lowe may be so good he’ll leapfrog the rest and is already 250 lbs. Then I decided that was projecting too much so deleted it and forgot to add his name into the prior sentence.

4-star Miami signee looking amazing at Navy All-American Bowl practices

Miami 2025 edge rusher signee Hayden Lowe was named the day two Alpha Dog at Navy All-America Bowl practice on Wednesday.

Bret should have his name changed to Bert. More fitting.

If ever anyone thought I exaggerate, well there you go. Video incoming too.

Cheers is low key one of my favorite shows ever. I’ve seen every episode an unhealthy amount

Not to sound to old or to expose my music industry bias, but yeah. The gold old days when people were creative enough to put out quality programming

So true. Music , TV and movies is all regurgitated garbage. Nothing original. I think Mad Men was the last show I regularly watched.

I agree with your overall point, but Evil is a very different take on good vs. evil, and I do enjoy most of the Harlan Coben mini series on Netflix.

Game of Thrones (and spin offs), Justified, Last of Us, Mandalorian, Ted Lasso, Masters of the Air all are excellent. Suits and Friday Night Lights are good. I could list plenty of quality shows.

Only to put it on tape really. I know we've tinkered with the idea plenty just because he can if he can transition inside just as effectively as he plays outside he can completely wreck an offense. Could be a complete game changer. At the end of the day no matter how effective he is on the edge the NFL is gonna downplay his measurables. As we both know measurables is just as important as production on the next level. He shows he can dominate inside(a position that's not about measurables) he's getting himself up to go early.

Great analysis and I agree

. We have too many young studs that have the first step and explosiveness to threaten the edge at DE but not nearly as many inside. It just makes sense. If Bain can successfully transition inside then I agree he can be a total game changer and we need as many as we can possibly get.

While you did get good ones from time to time(just like in music)overall the product is beyond watered down. It would be far easier to list more regurgitated **** than it would be to list something worth the time. You have to know that's true. Just ask the porkers who sit around watching "reality(scripted)tv" so they can feel closer to them. It's sad and it's an insult by programers and a & rs throughout the world.

Im not into sci fi , fantasy or Star Wars like stuff . That eliminates a couple of those. Ted Lasso is absolutely terrible to me ,I don’t find it funny or interesting.

Then you have objectively bad taste lol jk. GoT is light fantasy for the first half of the show. Last of Us is Sci-Fi but it's not like its aliens+space. Just a generally great show. And I don't think you have to care at all about Star Wars to like the Mandalorian tbh.

If you haven't seen Justified though, would heavily recommend. And Masters of Air is a definite watch for anyone who's seen like Band of Brothers...

Shogun is excellent, the boys is fun, Silicon Valley, Punisher, first couple seasons of Suits, Jack Ryan, etc, etc... I personally like White Collar and the Mentalist..
