They like him a lot , the kid is an ox. There’s no other choice if they want him. They’ve stuck by him this long for a reason.

Like any recruit , if he works out it's a solid move...

 

[twes.305]

We have a good amount of first and second year tackles on the roster: Walker, Rivers, Nelson, Campbell, Washington, El Gamal, McLaughlin once he gets in. Nothing wrong with beefing up the interior.

Rivers has been playing guard, McLaughlin need 2 years at least to develop, El gammal has not been looking that good according to some reports, which leaves us with Campbell, Nelson, and Walker. We were just complaining about how the tackle position has been so bad, now we get a grad transfer and one solid recruit at that position and all of the sudden we are good. Nah, they need to somehow get an elite tackle in this class.

 

[twes.305]

Wouldn't that be 7 spots left and not 6

 

[nvlahos]

21 recruiting class is going to be real right numbers wise, down to 23 spots. Tough decisions will need to be made.

Gotta think a few guys transfer out if they don't work out this year

 

[Burricane]

I see him every every other day

Like you know him personally?

Like you know him personally?

I’ve said that a few times indirectly lol I can’t influence him by any means but he trains with my family 7 on 7 team

 

[Memnon]

Has been it confirmed exactly how many spots we have left?

He didn't say they were good, he said numbers wise we got a good amount which is true. Your opinion of there talent is irrelevant.

 

[MiamiChris]

So we are adding Moise as a guard but we could've used that spot for another tackle

striker

 

[Cane47]

****....dude put on 25 lbs of muscle.....

That’s some serious weight; ..... as long as he wasn’t on the Will Grier diet.

 

[Go Canes!!]

Just thinking that we are so tight on numbers and with us getting walker and Williams and Williams counting forward already and we have an OL full of guards on the roster already let’s go after an elite tackle

There is still plenty of dead weight this program can and will shed if we continue stockpiling talent.

Easier said than done. Rivers will be an OT, or at least get every chance to compete for one of the spots in a year or 2. It isn't uncommon for young OTs to start their college careers at OG when possible.

Gamal naw and McLaughlin is 3 years away.

 

[motorcitycane]

Man 2020 season can position Miami for a nice decade coming up.

 

[A1cane]

Has been it confirmed exactly how many spots we have left?

No everyone is speculating 23 csz of moise and walker coming in but nothing confirmed from what I've seen

 

[motorcitycane]

Also doesn’t hurt that Texas took not one but TWO top 5 QBs in the class of 2020.

I’d believe there is more smoke there also. Especially if reports come out about those kids being the real deal.

These TOP QBs of today ain’t willing to sit more than a year.

 

[omaha]

Jaden Alexis really likes Texas but Miami isn't out of it. Breshard is very much in okay obviously.

Ok if a kid is into Texas I am going to say the kid would not like Miami. I don't know the kid of course but does the kid understand the culture of Texas? It isfor country kids. Miami is City. a guy fits into one or the other

 

[Paranos]

23 for 21.

@Canes Legacy 24 spots are available for 2021 if Miami can convince 2021 DE Jabari Ishmael to come as a preferred walkon using his father's UM employee dependent free tuition benefits his dad Victor has been an asst S&C coach for I believe 15+ yrs, an after 10yrs of service employees dependents can attend UM for free). Then set the young man up as a priority for name and likeness opportunities to help cover his housing expenses. Or Ishmael can commute for a year and pocket the money from the marketing gigs. Then after his 1st year at UM award him a full scholarship in after spring oF 2022 and Ishmael will only count against the 85 man cap and not the 25 initial counter.

Randy Shannon's son Xavier came to Miami as a grad transfer olinemen year ago from FIU when Randy was the Head Coach in similar manner only it was for 1 year.

Shannons separate family and football

The phone rang at 5:30 a.m., and Xavier Shannon began thinking the worst. On the other line was his father, Randy Shannon, the University of Miami football coach. It was the summer. It was the team…

Sam Brooks is going to be a monster if he stays healthy.

Said it before; the kid would’ve been a high 4 to 5 star had he stayed healthy in high school. Although there’s some ?marks for our LB core, we should at least see an infusion of athleticism.

 

[GladeCane]

I don’t think they’ll get Taylor. Do you think Collins still wants to go there? I thought between Mullet and Hova, some of the shine has warn off.

Taylor is coming to UM.
