2022 DT Brandon Cleveland Commits!

[Canes Brotherhood]

When is this kid committing?

7pm tonight

It's a little known fact that every single big-time player Miami has ever had has come from a major HS program playing a national schedule.

Travis Homer tho

I like how he put the U on Top of his list.

Don't get too caught up on comp & pay closer attention to traits.

His size, feet & raw strength are A+ & his upside is very high.

Regardless of the comp he plays there's no doubt he's a P5 DT.

Quick first step I've noticed too.

Stroud knows talent, I trust it.

 

[RickRollU]

This is an indication of how strong our recruiting is right now if we're going into prime Gator/Nole territory for a Seffner kid, especially at a position like DT.

Stroud really flexing his muscles on the trail.

Kid is the goods, but I hope if we accept his commitment it’s because we know he ain’t looking to bolt when the Turds will come knocking.

FSU Insider Newberg has him going to Miami with an 8.

And towards the "meh" crowd: There is more than one scout watching his game and saying "he has it". And he does.

 

[jkaz1]

I think you know that I was joking.

Many of our very best have come from Nowheresville HS.

Jerome Brown from the major program of Hernando HS in the mecca of football in Brooksville, FL.

Cortez Kennedy is from the massive town of Wilson, Arkansas - population of roughly the Kennedy extended family.

He played at Rivercrest HS.

Ever heard of it?

Neither has anyone else except the folks who went there.

Well, I think Miami being his first major P5 offer could resonate with him.

If he wants to commit you kinda have to accept his early commitment because a kid of his talent is too difficult to turn down. I do know our staff has talked with his parents & feel comfortable with him committing early.

So of course we'll have to keep recruiting him hard in order to keep him locked in once UF & the SEC sets their sights on him, but with our momentum on the trail maybe we can hold onto him for the long haul.

I will admit that him being Tyrie Cleveland's cousin makes me wonder why he'd be committing to Miami so early, but maybe he wants to go his own way & do his own thing... Only time will tell.

I'm sold on the body type and traits. I just wonder how he holds up against significantly better competition

Looking back on it I don’t think Tyrie was ever just in love with UF like that during the process. I was at westlake a lot back then. I and my brother trey went to school with his HS qb before he transferred

Yeah he's a Houston boy at heart, still don't get why he committed to UF coming out of HS instead of TCU.

No idea. TCU gets all of our 5 and 4 star talent interested during the process and they somehow always drop the ball.

 

[htownkidd]

Cleveland is impressive. As a few have mentioned, hard to ignore that twitch/quickness for a 6’2 250+ pound sophomore. He is tailor made for what we do.

And Cleveland family didn’t want him at UF

stack chips and pray he stays'

Expanding the stay home mentality to the entirety of Florida and not just south Florida could give us a monster class in 2022 and moving forward. SoFla kids are incredibly talented and shown by our 21' class, but having extra targets with legitimate interest outside of SoFla will let us take the recruiting to another level.

The only Florida native outside of SoFla in our current class is Troutman from Orlando. Imagine we pull 5-10 guys of Cleveland's caliber along with our SoFla haul.

Man, those FSU insiders have been having to log in CB's to Miami all year since we got Jarrid lol.

They probably get so ****ed every time they check with their sources & hear "yeah, the pick is Miami", they probably be like "Fck! Another one.." Lol.

Man, outside of Branden Jennings they haven’t even been close for a recruit that we were pushing for this cycle. I can definitely get used to this. Don’t even have to worry about them on the trail.
