July 2nd: Booker T. Washington WR Tyquan Thornton told CanesInSight this morning that he plans on attending Miami paradise camp later this month.

Thornton is a big target for the Hurricanes at the wide receiver spot as he has seen his stock rise in a major way this offseason.

Update on Saturday, July 22nd: After Thornton had been planning to visit UF for their Friday Night Lights trip and then make the trip down to Coral Gables for Paradise Camp, the Booker T WR did not make the expected visit to Gainesville.

He is in Miami this morning down at FIU's team camp with his Booker T squad. He has told Miami coaches that he will be in Coral Gables later for Paradise Camp.

Sources have told CanesInSight that UM is sitting in good position with the speedster, who Miami is targeting to close out their wide receivers class.

Will be limited prior to the day itself. UM doesn't want it publicized too much.

I like choosing him choosing Paradise over a Friday night in jortsville too, but I caution that there are many rumors on this site that he is a lizard lean. Don't know the validity of the claim, but I'm confident in this staff's ability to influence a local recruit.

I think people on here get amnesia & simply forget everything they've been told on a daily basis.

It's just July, even if a kid commits to another school now, it honestly doesn't mean anything, before the season starts.

Even when a kid "shuts down" his recruitment, people would be surprised how quickly recruits can "reopen" after taking a few visits or watching a team win/lose.

Recruitment of prospects is never over until they sign the LOI, you'd think people would've figured that out by now lol.

They'll spin it like...."he's there to recruit for us..makes sense if you think about it. let's have guys that are on the fence at our camp, and we'll send solid commits to paradise to recruit for the mighty, neverlose gayturds".

They're flipping all our guys :monkey-serious:
