**This will probably be the last time I bring up WR Jadon Haselwood. I know this has been widely reported by now, but this is just a formality and in the effort of completeness and finality for my own self. Yesterday morning, I referenced a good source saying he believed the pick would be OU. Yesterday around mid-day, I talked to another source close to Haselwood that also believed the pick would be OU. Another source that was previously saying Miami has backed off that. The UM staff's confidence with Haselwood has eroded as well. All this to say, I'm flipping my pick to OU. Again, I know this is widely assumed at this point, simply a formality. For the record, I don't believe he was trolling Miami, and do believe his interest in UM was legitimate by talking with people that know him well. There were very good reasons he was not high on OU to begin with. There are many other factors at play here and I'm going to leave it at that.
**I'm still hearing positive things on Tyrique Stevenson to Miami, which is noteworthy because I'm told UGA is absolutely working until the last second here to land him. It's unclear as of yet if he's going to announce something in the early signing period or still wait until the all-star game on Jan. 5th.
**Many have already seen the OT Adam ElGammal news, but if you haven't: ElGammal was a late signee for Miami today. He was originally planning on waiting until February, but the staff convinced him to move it up. Remember, the early signing period lasts through Friday, so technically we could see more announcements the next two days.
**A few big-time targets did not sign with other schools yesterday, such as RB Mark-Antony Richards, DE Khris Bogle, OT Darius Washington, and CB Akeem Dent among others. They will all be high priorities during the next few weeks until the February signing day. For the full list of unsigned targets, as well as a recap of yesterday's action, check the early signing day tracker *here* or look for it pinned to the top of the recruiting board.
**Speaking of DE Khris Bogle: after talking to a source close to the recruitment today, he is still planning on waiting to announce at the all-star game on Jan. 5th. Another strong source has told me that he has given indications to both Miami and Alabama that he is coming, so someone is going to get let down there.
**As the craziness of the early signing period subsides, the positive is that Miami knows where they stand and can now re-evaluate the class. The board will become more clear in the coming days and will certainly expand as we see more new names emerging. UM already sent out three new offers yesterday and I'm told they are currently in the best spot with LB OC Brothers. UM has been laying some of the groundwork here by conducting multiple school visits with him during the contact period. He is very on high on Miami and will be on commit watch for his official visit on Jan. 18th.
