Miami is hosting its biggest recruiting weekend of the year, as detailed by @Sebastian Font here. Below is the latest I'm hearing about the class:

- This a huge weekend for offensive linemen, with Keenyi Pepe (IMG), Breck Kolojay (IMG), Chancellor Campbell (St. Petersburg), Canon Pickett (Tampa), Joel Ervin (Fort Myers), Tommy Tofi (San Francisco), Da'ron Parks (Sarasota) and others. All of the names listed are takes. One undercover name to add to the board alongside Ryan Miret (Southridge) at center: Rhys Woodrow (Orlando).

- Miami absolutely loved RB Henry Ohlinger (Columbus, OH) on his visit. He looked every bit of 6'1, 210 with room to grow and the ability to play multiple positions. There have been reports about another Ohio back in Favour Akih (Delaware, OH), but Ohlinger is on top of the pecking order. Derrek Cooper (Chaminade) remains an immense priority and a +1 player.

- Two of Miami's top targets at TE will be on campus: Heze Kent (Brunswick, GA) and Zachery Turner (Dallas). Kent is an in-line monster at 300 pounds and Turner is a matchup nightmare as a jumbo WR. The staff is very high on both.

- Miami is in a very good place with CB Jontavius Wyman (Atlanta). There is a very real chance he flips from Georgia.

- The staff continues to prioritize CB/PR J'Vari Flowers (Northwestern). He recently reclassified to 2025 and is on campus now for his final official visit. NIL is a factor.

- There have been reports identifying LB JaMichael Garrett (Auburn, AL) as a possible Miami commit, but I do not expect Miami to go in that direction.

- DE Daniel Norman (St. Thomas) is a local name Miami likes and would take. The 6'4, 205-pounder has big upside and appears poised to make the next step. Miami also has DE Kamhariyan Johnson (Muscle Shoals, AL) on campus this weekend. He was previously scheduled to go to Auburn. The Canes are shooting their shot in Alabama, with Johnson, DE Jaquez Wilkes (Wadley, AL) and DE Tank Jones (Mobile, AL) all in the mix.

- Some freshman names that continue to stand out in spring practice: DE Hayden Lowe, DE Herbert Scroggins and DT Donta Simpson. WR Josh Moore, TE Brock Schott and TE Luka Gilbert have also done some nice things in recent days.

- TE Alex Bauman, the transfer from Tulane, has recovered from some early nicks and has made a strong first impression in his first few practices. He is a veteran with the ability to survive in-line and do damage as a flex. Carter Smith, the big-legged kicker transfer from FAU that was brought in for kickoffs, is really developing as a kicker in practice.

So this pool party is now replacing the big BBQ in July? I am hoping for some good news on Flowers by Sunday. I think he would have been a top 100 player in the 26 class. His return game is needed so badly. He is likely to play with several teammates here, if he comes. The Jonesboro duo would be nice. Unfortunate news on Garrett. Not surprised, though. This OL group is impressive.

I don't think there is anyone left who believes this kid is a TE. Including CMC/Mirabal

The Eric Winston path of athletic TEs growing into tackles can be very lucrative. About 11-12 years of NFL pay.

The Garrett news is crazy. Every interview he’s been saying Miami is recruiting him harder than every other school(including Auburn). We’ve been sending him hand written letters, calling him everyday etc. We doing all that to not even go in that direction? Wild lol

OT overall, but goal line TE? Talk about the ability to body out your defender.

Appreciate the update DMoney!

Are we looking at Coleman being the only QB? And give me a comp for Coleman? (Wisky Russ Wilson or nah)

Is Congdon sniffing around for other programs? Took an unofficial visit to Alabama, they offered him on his visit, now he locked in an official visit

Seems we were in early. Now other programs taking notice. This is how the big boys play. Keep the product on field moving in the right direction and keep the NIL up and we can land any offensive lineman there is

The Carter Smith reference raises a red flag on Abram Murray.

There are whispers that Murray is struggling and we might need a Portal kicker.

How do you struggle at kicking? I mean....

I’ll go ahead and kick it off for the sky is falling crowd by saying if Mario doesn’t get at least 10 commits by Sunday afternoon, fly the banners.
