That’s why we have to group in a lot of talent so the busts (pause) just transfer out no matter how big of a name or ranking they were. Cause there will be misses and if you only get two can’t miss guys for DB and they are both whiffs your in the same spot next year.

Agree , that’s why I don’t understand why we don’t get more Dt like we do Ol . Let the big boys get weeded out

1:43 what a great field, where you have houses on the sidelines. I've never seen that before

I have a feeling our LB room is not going to look the same after this year. I wouldnt be surprised if the only guys left in the room were from this class and last years class. And Wes. Everyone else will be asked to move on. So I think that is why they are okay with bringing in 4 guys. (as long as the last two are Alford and Wiley)

Ocean City HS in New Jersey.

They didn't even play IMG. Makes me wonder if Nix is on their JV squad or something.

Might need to look into that a little.

He played picket type talent . Lakeland been recruiting since castle . I bet he wasnt playing for Lakeland the entire time . They probably recruited him . I never seen a highschool get away with so much bs yet they went after Armwood for it back in the day

You already know they recruited Cormoni. He was at Lake Gibson before Lakeland

Im not mad with bringing in 4, i just dont see the point of having players on the roster who just aren’t Miami caliber

Who am I missing for next year at linebacker:

Wes
Popo
Washington
Pruitt
Hayes
Alderman?

Incoming class:
Nix
Marcelin
*wiley* fingers crossed
*Alford* fingers crossed

It hasn’t shown this year and I’m not sold on Nicholsons ability to develop but that room has been transformed to start to look a certain way. I think nix and Marcelin are fringe takes but when you land dudes like Pruitt, Washington, and hopefully a Wiley type talent I can live with taking the undersized, limited athletically, high iq type backers.
 
Nicholson can **** sure recruit. Jury is out on whether he can develop. A good test will be what he can do with Bobby Washington. He wont get many freaks like that at LB anytime soon. And BW is going into his 3rd season in 2025. Gotta get something out of a freak show like that.

Pretty sure Chase Smith will have eligibility left. Whether he comes back is the question.

Nix isn't Corey Flagg. He can run. The guy is a blue-chip player on every service and has been for years.

We've been complaining about a lot of issues on defense-- communication, instincts, tackling, lateral mobility. Nix addresses all of those.

People constantly can’t distinguish or separate tiers as well as accept certain realities on here. You are 100% correct, Nix addresses all of those things and will make our team better. The problem is that posters are simultaneously trying to not only fix current issues but they are also trying to place Miami amongst the elites. Nix should do the former but most likely not the latter and in turn he then kinda gets inadvertently **** on.

Imagine if he committed this week based on our current state of the LB room and what we're seeing/are frustrated with.

We'd be going ape.

But instead we're biting our nails over the Gatas post LSU mojo.

SMH!

Pruitt is 200 pounds tops. Wes is just now touching 220

Nix isnt undersized really and Marcelin is over 200 by a good bit apparently. Nix is 220 and built.

The fringe take is Marcelin for me as i didnt see the need with Nix. If we are getting Wiley and Alford to flip this will be a big time lb class...and likely allowing us to just grab 2 next clas tops.

But like you stated the room is cooking up to be a bunch of 6'1-6'3 225-240 type bodies in short order with Pruitt being the outlier because he can thump n run
