Recruiting Chatter - 12/17 (PM Update)

Heading into early signing day tomorrow, this is the latest we've been able to gather here at CIS from a source connected to the program.

**LB Justin Flowe has not informed the coaches of his decision as of Tuesday night. The staff is unsure of what to expect with him, as they believe he prefers to be in Miami, but his family is pushing for him to stay at home.

**The staff is very confident on DB Jaiden Francois signing with Miami tomorrow. Francois has told them all the right things to make them believe that.

**Miami DE Romello Height is still considering Auburn and has not informed the staff of his intentions as of Tuesday night. The staff is confident Height signs with Miami, but less confident than they are with Francois.

**The staff does not expect to sign OL Kobe Baynes or DB Davonte Brown, who both came on officials.

**UM is currently planning on signing 20 prospects tomorrow: 19 of the current commits (taking away DT commit Willie Moise, who plans to sign in February) and adding Francois, and are also keeping an extra spot open for Flowe should he want in. This would seem to mean LB Jesus Machado does not have a spot in the class, although I was not able to directly confirm that as of yet.

**UGA pushed TE Darnell Washington hard to sign with them early and obviously he told them no. Miami took that as a big win for them, and the staff believes TE coach Stephen Field had a lot to do with that, as Field has built a very strong connection with Washington. UM feels they are very much still in the game here.
