2024 Race to 300

[561Cane]

I think we actually have an outside shot here.

After the loss of the 2 commits last week, we sit at 278 overall. We seem like we're heavy favorites for at least a couple flips, and possibly several.

In order of likelihood, here is where we can go:

Adding Armondo Blount gets us to 286.
Adding Jordan Lyle gets us to 289.
Adding Xavier Lucas gets us to 290.
Adding Adarius Hayes gets us almost to 295.

And, the big flopping salami, adding Jeremiah Smith gets us to 302.

Let's close.

Is this keeping Riley? Word is he's gone...

- riley
-jackson
+ hayes
+ blount
+ smith
= 298.38







No smith = 290.38

Gaby prediction:
- Riley

+ Blount, Lucas, Hayes, Mincey.


This class would finish with a score of 295.12, which would essentially be a lock for a top five finish for Miami. In the Class of 2023, that score would have finished No. 4 nationally, No.5 in the Class of 2022, No. 4 in the Class of 2021, and No. 5 in the Class of 2020.

With. Gaby expects to keep him and all our other current commitments except Riley.

Interesting. Guess they feel confident his grades will get situated

[The U is back to work]

Are we expecting a bat signal tonight? Saw some twitter insinuations - surprised nobody has been able to get Cam Ward yesterday or today for any interview.

297.53 adding JJ, Blount,Hayes and removing Riley.

289.26 with Blount and taking out Riley

I was wrong about Big Joe, Addae is clearly the weak link on this staff.

289.44 after Day 1 of ESD.

Just mind-blowing.

Absurdly great job by every single person involved. Mario is a relentless menace.

I don’t know much about the point system but are we a mincey + a couple 3 star bumps to 4 stars away from 300?

 

[407cane]

pretty wild that if we land mincey, then JJ would have been the ultimate thing to get us over the 300 hump. to get within 1 recruit of 300 (albeit a big recruit) is incredible considering the season we had and where we were 6 months ago

The last two months have been especially mind-blowing from a recruiting perspective. Absolutely incredible close.

No, we have virtually no shot at 300 but doesn’t take away from the overall recruiting job this cycle.

Assuming no bumps, I don't think we get there. We don't seem to have any targets left but Amaree Williams and Mincey. They get us to around 296 if we get both.

 

[westcoastcanes]

We needed to increase quality/average to get to 300. our class is excellent, landing in the top 5 is impressive any way you slice it especially coming off the last two years on the field. but we are too bottom heavy to hit 300 without a massive volume class. we are 14th in average, and have five more 3 stars committed than the next closest team in the top 10.

If you add in transfers, can it get over 300? Functionally not much different between getting a HS player and getting a college player with 3-4 years of eligibility.
