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

- 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.

- Could be committing in July
Chance Robinson
- Will take OVs

Laulea
- Visit went well, no imminent decision
- Very helpful that Freeney is a Cane

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
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)
