Now that the 2022 cycle is effectively over for the most part, I started thinking up a want list of guys from the '23 class I think we may have a legit shot at for each position. Just keeping it to one left some tough choices but man this would be an insane class.
QB: Nico Iamaleava- Kid is the goods, so much untapped upside as well. Seemed to love his visit and with everyone focused on Arch and USC already having their guy, think we are a legit contender for him.
RB: Richard Young- Absolute beast of an RB. Going to be an absolute battle with all of the big boys involved. Seemed to really enjoy his time at Miami.
WR: Hykeem Williams- By all accounts a huge Miami fan, has been on campus a bunch since last year. Crazy untapped potential with the type of frame that could result in an absolute man child of a player.
TE: Riley Williams- Huge kid, standing 6'6 and around 225-230. Previosly recruited by Mario while at Oregon. Kid is in the mold of the leaner, faster TE we've been seeing more of recently. Similar to Skinner.
OL: Samson Okunlola- Northeastern kid from my neck of the woods in Brockton MA. Big guy, that moves very well for his size. Think we have a legit shot if we push. Kids up here have nothing but love for the U.
DL: Jayden Wayne- Arguably my favorite recruit next cycle. This kid is an animal. Prototype build for the position and has room to add more good weight. Distance may be a factor but has a previous relationship with Mario. has been to Miami a couple of times in the last year and seemed to really enjoy himself.
LB: Jayvant Brown- Deerfield kid that according to Macho felt a little jaded by the previous staff. Love his game and think Mario can get us back into this one. 247 Comparison for him is Myles Jack and that feels like a really good comparison.
CB: Cormani Mcclain- I mean obviously. Everyone and their mother will be coming after him. DVD will need to earn every cent of his paycheck with this one.
S: Joenel Aguero- Another MA kid that came down to IMG for I believe 2 years before going back to spend his senior year close to friends and family. Already a high caliber in the box safety and has the athleticism to become a plus coverage safety. Not afraid to get physical and can lay the wood.
