6 OVs this weekend
Justin Scott
- Miami pushing hard for a committment this weekend
- Miami very much out front in this recruitment
Kevin Riley
- #1 Target for Miami at RB
- Miami pulling out front
- Alabama here and there recruiting him, Miami doing the best job recruiting him
- Could commit this weekend
- Miami likes Riley more than Gibson
Dakota Fields
- Comitted to USC
- Not visiting
Jericho Johnson
- Plan was for OV this week
- Haven't heard anything about rescheduling
- WA done a great job here
- USC another leader
Elias Rudolph
- Likely to go back to Ohio for senior year
- Michigan & O$U done great job recruiting
Jayden Jackson
- Miami done a great job w/him
- Recruiting sites waking up to him, now a 4*
- Huge that he's coming
- Don't expect a commitment this weekend
- Taking all his OVs
Head to Head w/UT
- Elija Lofton had planned to visit UT this weekend (Canes won this battle)
- He never came back to this topic, went into West Coast recruits and I think forgot to come back to it
West Coast Recruits
- Commitment is huge, Elija part of West Coast visitors group. Dylan Williams, Papa Afua, Brandon Baker, TA Cunninngham, Aylen Breland all going to be impacted by this commit
- All part of a group that visited schools together
- Miami is going to get the BULK of their elite recruits from the West Coast. Keep an eye on them
Plaz
- Miami likes him a lot
- Miami felt good until he shockingly committed to P$U
- He is #2 option behind Baker
Schmo
- Only other OV is Pitt
- Miami likes as a developmental OT
OTs
- OT class this year is weak
- Brandon Baker may be an OG
- Liam Andrews Miami still working
- He's hearing that Samson and Francis may be hurting the OT recruiting
Breland
- Loves Miami ever since original visit
- Miami in a very, very, very good spot.
- Came down w/CA visitors
- Attended Pitt basketball game, said it would be hard for a school to match
- Predicts that he will commit to Miami
TA Cunningham
- Doesn't have green light to comitt to Miami
- Transfers are a concern
- Miami wants him to camp and is very interested
- Really loves Miami
Colin Simmons
- Doesn't think Miami is in the lead here
- Taking a lot of visits. This will be a marathon
Dylan Stewart
- Miami is in a real good spot here
David Stone
- Was strongly considering reclassifying. That's not happening now.
- The ONE consistent in this recruitment was Miami and not OK
- MSU faded away
- Oklahoma (Family has concerns with OK)
- Could be committing in July
Chance Robinson
- Will take OVs
- Not worried, expects him to pick Miami
Laulea
- Visit went well, no imminent decision
- Very helpful that Freeney is a Cane
- USC involved here along w/P$U
Trever Jackson
- Agrees w/Gaby, doesn't have an offer
- Miami in communication w/him
Ellis Robison IV
- Still solid UGA, not flipping immediately
- Season could change things
Jaylen Heyward
- Miami recruiting as a CB
Class
- Could be better than last year, but dependent on the season
- Offensive players are bonding with Dawson (including TVD)
- Could land more than 2 5* this year
- Good position with FIVE 5*s: Trader, Stewart, Scott, Breland (but he only named these four)
Predicted DL
- Dylan Russell stands out, his motor is tremendous
- Grown a LOT since last season. Now at least 6'3"
- Scott, Breland, Steward, Jackson (good spot)
- Lightfoot trending away
- Stone not yet a lock for Miami or OK
- Things have cooled down with Booker Picket Jr, lot of DLs being recruited right now
IMG Pipeline
- Jackson (good spot)
- Gibson (decent shot)
- Stone (good chance)
- Robinson (in the battle)
- Hawkins (still being recruited)
- TJ Lindsey (hard to get a read on the current situation, no info on where he's leaning)
LJ Mcray
- Recruitment is going into the season
- Bunch of OVs scheduled
- Not heard anything positive (could be good, could be bad)
- Very underrated
Staley
- Clemson tight w/WR numbers, may not take him
- Miami/UT battle here
Flowers
- Miami still likes him
- Couple guys ahead (Cole and Nesta)
Nesta
- Wants to play baseball, coaching hire will play a role
Barney
- Also an impact corner, really stands out (even with Washington twins on the team)
- Miami still evaluating, could be a late bloomer
- Lot of big programs could get involved
- Says Miami should look at him as a DB, can really run
Tremble
- Miami involved w/a LOT of TEs
- Expects Miami to get involved with this recruitment
- Miami going after TEs some commited elsewhere (Matthews, Hansen, Galloway, Jackson, Odom)
- Take two blue chips each year
Kam Franklin
- UT/Miami battle
Ryan Wingo
- Still recruiting, still pushing for OV, not out in front.
- Longshot here
Gibson
- Very coy in what he tells the media
Valentine
- Option behind Riley and Gibson
Jeremiah Smith
- Geo thinks Miami should push for a multi-day OV even if its delayed
- As of today, thinks he signs w/ O$U
Artavius Jones
- Miami his favorite school growing up
- Miami likes him a LOT as a run stopping DT
- Miami will to take him
Brandon Baker
- VERY close with Elija Lofton, that could play a role in his recruitment
