Putting this one out quick because a lot of news is dropping fast:

- Miami trending with Top 100 players WR JoJo Trader (Chaminade) and TE/WR Caleb Odom (Carrollton, GA). Nothing imminent I am aware of, but they would give Miami a huge start to their pass-catcher overhaul with blue-chip WR Chance Robinson (St. Thomas Aquinas), who committed on Saturday.

- I expect a run of commits and Portal additions. As Gaby hinted at on 247, I expect commits from DB Dylan Day (Baton Rouge, LA), OL Juan Minaya (Paramus, NJ) and S Isaiah Thomas (Clearwater). Miami is also trending for CB Ricky Knight (Benjamin), with FSU also in pursuit. People in the building (especially Coach Guidry) are very excited about Day. His frame looked long on his visit with room to add weight, and he has solid testing numbers to go along with outstanding film. He will upgrade the physicality, versatility and instincts of the class immediately. Minaya is someone Mirabal has targeted from the jump. He goes big-name hunting, but he also has his personal giants. Word on Thomas (originally from Toronto) is that he is a big-time talent and should be fully recovered in fall from his knee injury.

- I understand there will be a mixed reaction to a flood of non-blue chip commits, but remember that there were a ton of elite players on campus this month and they all left loving Miami. Those processes will take more time and I'll have more scoop on those visits later in the week. The kids identified above are prospects that Miami has evaluated and prioritized early.

- There is about to be a wave in the Portal. Watch the DT position. As I've been saying for weeks, Miami doesn't just want someone big- they want someone big and athletic. They will add a RB and a nickel. D2 All-American WR JaQuae Jackson is enjoying the recruiting process but Miami is firmly in that battle. Nothing done yet. I expect us to land Lou Cristobal (Georgia State starter) to compete with Ryan Rodriguez at backup center. The priority going forward with be corner.

- Another name to watch is Chris Wheatley-Humphrey from South Plantation. Miami loves him and is picking up momentum.

Reread my post, Gump, I said the most vocal people I didn’t say most of the people. Guess who’s in that group that’s been ejaculating vomit regarding the nephew.

Run, Forrest, run.

Easiest to play from a physical standpoint.

Tell that to the guy with Jordan Davis lined up over top of him ready to devour him at the snap.

The center makes the checks at the LOS, it's the most difficult OL position from a mental standpoint but the easiest to play from a physical standpoint.

You clearly have never tried to block someone with your own hand between your legs lol

So they should ignore the lack of depth on the oline as well?

Yes apparently you can only recruit one position at a time. The NCAA just passed it last month.

Try and keep up

The depth we have is better then Cristobal. He's only getting an offer because he's Mario nephew lets be 100 about the whole situation. He's a low G5 depth quality OL who is going to have 0 P5 offers other then us. He's never going to play and will never crack the 2 deep lineup. There are levels to ****, it doesn't matter how good your technique is and how hard you work when you are 6 FT 270 IOL getting bull rushed by a 6'4 325LB blue chip DT name Big John from Clemson who squats 675 LBs and runs a 4.9

Maybe Mario wants his nephew to learn under his teaching so he can one day become a coach. Maybe the kid wants to be close to his uncle. I know my uncle was my favorite family member and I would do anything to be around him. Also doesn't this kid get a free ship because his family works here. IDK.

Starting to hear more M'Ba buzz now. Not from UM but from reliable source. Let's see how this plays out.

I expect we will add an athletic, 300+ pound defensive tackle.

Please let us get him and bear Alexander it’ll help tremendously with our 3 deep having bear moten and mba with Taylor Harrison hunte and Bain or mesidor that’s how you help our defensive line with Harvey and Kelly with moss and Wayne or Williams plus mesidor or Bain at these spots as well man that’s high level defensive line play

Doubt it. But I’m not going to look up the NCAA bylaws either.

It would appear that they have tightened up the tuition remission rules since the 1980s and 1990s. However, Luis is still an alum, and UM has a ton of scholarship money available to legacies. Not to mention, there's PLENTY of other types of scholarship money and assistance available. I got one of my best friends at UM Law two years of free tuition by connecting him to an opportunity that I knew was available.

Please stop.

Luis Cristobal Sr.

Lou Cristobal Jr.

Notice whose number Lou wears...

I'm sensing a few more jersey number changes...

To be fair to the kid, he’s gotten Utah State, Liberty and Kent State since this post.

I think that’s what he is. A non-impact G5 starter who can be an experienced backup and culture guy here.

Didn't infer a thing buddy. Just googled the name and it came up. Happy to welcome another Cristobal to the team. We don't have a #59 currently and it wouldn't be the first time numbers were over / under reported. Regardless thanks for being polite with the request. Go Canes

Culture guy is the key here. He'll not be one to shy from confrontation when someone slacks off.
