The Bank (12/20) AM UPDATE

Here is the latest on Early Signing Day eve:

- I like Miami for CB Damari Brown (American Heritage) and DB Conrad Hussey (St. Thomas Aquinas). Hussey projects as a nickel CB. I also like Miami for DB Edwin Joseph (Chaminade).

- Miami may add another Portal name at CB if it's the right one, but it is also possible they roll with an extreme infusion of youth and talent. Cormani McClain (CB Lakeland) and Robert Stafford (Eau Gallie) are here in spring.

- I think it's Michigan State for Portal DE Tunmise Adeleye.

- While it has been quiet, I still expect LB Francisco Mauigoa (Wazzu transfer) in this class.

- As reported last week in the Bank, if TE Reid Mikeska (Houston) flips to South Carolina, watch Miami with Oregon transfer TE Moliki Matavao.

- I still believe Miami takes three Portal WRs. Miami is in a good spot with Dont'e Thornton (Oregon transfer). Grant DuBose (Charlotte transfer) is working hard to get a waiver so he can transfer without graduating. As mentioned last week, he already used his one-time transfer. If he gets it, strong chance he joins this class for spring. I would expect Miami to land one more in addition to those two, with the focus on a legit #1.

- I like Miami for Georgia State DT Thomas Gore.

- Miami is still working on Florida commits Jakeem Jackson (Osceola) and Sharif Denson (Bartram Trail) until the buzzer rings.

- The big name to watch is S Derek Williams (Texas commit from NOLA). Texas wants him to sign early. If he pushes his commitment back, Miami will be heavily in play.

He just posted on twitter he is sponsoring an OSU girl with NIL...

This is so brilliant. Sponsoring athletes from other schools to show the NCAA he's not making going to Miami a requirement for NIL. They know it's bull but also know they'd get destroyed in court if they tried anything.

Best part is the players from other schools he sponsors are softball players, punters, etc that likely are not digging too deep into the NIL budget lol. Absolute Genius.

SIAP but is the plan to take a whole mess of DBs and then sort out whether they're CBs or Safeties later? Cause that's what it seems like so far.

That and see which ones can handle the “Al Golden Freshman 50” and slide down to DT

We essentially need an entirely new safety room.

Especially when they tell James Williams he better learn how to play linebacker.

Exactly. Go sponsor long snappers and and athletes across the country. He also said on the Twitter space last night he is having Deion over at his house next week. Hopefully he can give Colorado some NIL $ so Deion can start pulling in more kids from our rivals. Assuming it would a handshake agreement to stay away from our target list but who knows.

Yes, that is a priority for any safety recruit. Needs to know what offense he will be practicing against.

How else can they become a Greentree All American??

Could you imagine the Nole outrage at both Ruiz and Prime?

Now I gotta pull up the Top 247 and start looking at WRs?!

I’ll have a lot more fun doing it right now than I have in years past, I’ll tell you that much.

Gut says ****ey. Mario’s been on him for a long time now. Dante bailed. Makes sense.

Not to be that guy, but he came on Geo's space last night saying they build language into their contracts that their athletes must work in Dade. I guess he makes exceptions.

Walked into work today with no pants on again and my boss asked what's up with the no pants. I looked at him, told him Pancakes, and walked to my desk.
