On Kelley Wiley, Jr….

This morning, LB recruit Kellen Wiley (Seffner) announced he is not visiting Miami this weekend.

I’m told this is NOT a drop situation. The staff really likes Kellen Wiley.

Miami has decided to move this weekend’s visitors (including Mykah Newton and Malachi Toney) to after signing day.

There are a couple reasons for this. First, these players have playoff games for their high school teams tomorrow. So it would have been a shortened, lower-quality visit.

Second, and most importantly, the team is in lockdown mode as it pushes towards its goal of an ACC Championship. There are usually a lot of recruits in the building on Sunday unofficials. That’s not happening this week. Everyone is completely locked in on getting ready for the home stretch.

Recruiting will continue, obviously, and remains paramount. But the decision was made to avoid visits during such a key time for the program.

The unfortunate part with Wiley is that, unlike Newton and Toney, he isn’t a commit. So the timing is off. But again, this decision applies to every recruit set to visit and is being made for the sole purpose of winning on Saturday, winning next week, and accomplishing the team’s goals for the season.

Nah, I have excellent dental health. Actually do. We're required for a check-up once a year.

But I hate people putting stuff in my mouth (edit: major pause). Didn't have the greatest experience with braces from a pain perspective and that just stayed.

A coach who was hired to recruit, to actually recruit and not use “needing to focus on winning” as an excuse to push back visits. As I said Mario can’t draw up any play except inside zone. And he cant draw up a single defensive play. So what’s he focusing on? He spending all week writing his ra ra go team pregame speech?

It's twice a year in the UK - and that's why stereotypes are bad.

The stereotype probably caused the second check-up.

While this sucks for everyone involved this is the opportunity for both Kellen to get the full experience later and for Miami to put forth their full pitch. I buy the excuse that one a short weekend with game prep it wouldn't be right to half *** the visit. Is Kellen willing to wait? Problem is you don't get the official visit with a home game experience at Miami but maybe a playoff bye week prep visit experience.

Any chance it’s bc the stadium will be half empty?

two won 2 rose bowls and conference titles before he came here. alot on this board wanted kiffen who doesnt win anything and hates recruiting.

I’m definitely one of those CIS posters that Wanted Lane Kiffin because we need a coach who can scheme us into an advantage, Mario’s only advantage is recruiting and running up the gut

However, I do not want Mario or Miami as a whole to fail

Duo and inside zone are not the same play.

Pretty sure it's Syracuse they are worried about. Supposedly game planning starts Sunday and focusing on that.

They better quit looking ahead and focus on Wake Forest.

Ha! Not me. I was in President's 100, I was rush chair for my fraternity, I love showing my friends and family around UM, and I love my alma mater.

But we do have some posters who think this is like NFL free agency, it's "all about the money" and there are no other considerations.

I roomed with, tutored, and was friends with many UM athletes from 1986-1996. A lot may have changed over the years, but there are a lot of challenges that have remained the same for decades. Having to pick a university when every coach and every player and every host is kissing your tail-end...can be very difficult.

1986-1996 were you on the cam McCormick plan? Just kidding my man. Know you went for a couple (few?) degrees. Wish I had more than my 4 years at Miami.
