[Summary of the first 50 minutes or so, still need to listen to the rest later]



Lee leaning to NFL, staff trying to keep him (this is the reason for the recent IOL offers)
Kiko expected to return
Essentially what Pete said yesterday
$EC schools tampering w/at least 3 Miami players (backchanneling)
Auburn and Ole Miss specifically called out, Canes taking steps to deal w/the tamper/back channel
More Miami players expected to enter the portal
Miami's QB decision will impact whether or not some players bolt
X unsure if he's coming back
There may be a couple departure from the recruiting class

Portal QB

Miami closing in on a Howard visit, doing well here

His current ranking of odds

1. Howard (Best chance)
2. Ward (2nd best chance)
3. Gabriel (3rd best, minimal progress here though)

Moore. Miami wants veteran QB first & foremost. Moore not a priority initiallly
McCall, option QB, not sure he's a fit here. Radio silence
McCloud, Geo says he could be an option
Rogers, Miami passed after eval

There are QBs in the portal that Miami will pursue

Pratt: Rumblings he could pull name from NFL draft and enter the portal. Miami will pursue if he does
Tua's brother: Miami will pursue if he enters the portal

B12

Geo would be shocked if Miami left for the B12. B10 or $EC more likely
Miami moving in silence


Portal Slots

1 QB
1 WR


Portal Recruiting Philosophy

Miami being VERY aggressive w/QB recruiting
Expects Miami to have a QB by early signing day

Portal RB

Sanders wants to come back to Florida. Would be surprised if Miami is interested. Miami wants 3 HS RB

Portal DT

CJ Clark Miami doing well here, he's visiting
Nolan. Miami will pursue him.

Portal DE

Payton. L$U & Auburn and other $EC teams after him. Hasn't heard if Miami has interest.
Lots of DEs ahead of Okonola

Portal CB

Kyi Stokes (Miami recruited him and so did Mario at Oregon). Family ties here too. Miami interested

Portal WR

Shepherd interested in Miami

Portal OL

Miami prioritized Bisontis last year & he was Freshman All-American. Geo hasn't heard anything official yet, but would be shocked if Miami doesn't aggresively recruit him

HS Recruiting

J Smith

Portal QB choice will impact his decision
Miami pushing hard for his final OV on the final weekend (earlier visit was an UV)
Family prefers him to be at Miami but staying out of the decision

Bailey

Miami has work to do here to flip him
Miami pushing for for his final OV on the final weekend w/Smith
NCST has been loyal to him, Canes have lots to work to do here if they want to flip him
Won't be easy to flip from NCST
UM pitch: QB room is a mess [my word], there's an opening for you now

McCray

F$U on the only realistic flip chance here

Mincey

Mincey has made a silent committment. Geo thinks he ends up at Miami
Announcing the 6th, signing on the 20th

Blount

Miami positioned well here, Geo likes where Miami is at (and then he smiled).
Won't predict a flip though (just yet, his words)
Originally was a done deal to F$U, no longer the case

Scott

Inverse of Stone's recruitment
Scott always wanted to be at Miami

Stone

Stone was set to commit to Miami and then an Oklahoma coach made a last second call

Stewart

Miami working hard here, will be tough to flip

Lyle

Continues to like where Miami is at
Miami flip could come soon

Trader

Not worried about visits, staff not concerned
Key here is Mack, two are inseparable

************ 2nd Half Update ***********

Robinson

Going to be tough to flip him
Envisions himself in Miami
Geo Doesn't think the flip happens.
Would need to get him down for the final weekend



Citizen

Has been practicing, still getting in game shape/condition
His performance in the spring will be important

Portal QBs

Haggard could be a depth piece

Portal DBs

Another Vandy DB may hit the portal. If he does, likely will jump to the top of the list


TEs

Lofton: expected to sign w/Miami, they believe they Texas isn't a threat anymore
Two targets remain

Camden Jones
Benjamin Blackburn: late Bloomer, Stanford commit


OL Recruiting

Geo expects Eddy Pierre Louis to go to UCF or Oregon. Would be shocked if he ends up at Miami
Watch Broussard closely.
Bell locked in. MS schools trying to flip him though

DT Recruiting

Jones: UM held off FSU. Will be in this class
Blount: UM in good position
Stone: Don't expect him to flip. OK is where we wants to be
Stewart: Will be difficult, but Miami is in this one. Watch this. NIL heavy recruitment
McCray: Don't see Miami flipping him
White: Miami/FSU battle
Kendall Jackson: Miami values him highly, higher than recruits w/more stars. Miami planning in home and he's likely to come on campus again


DL Recruiting

Amaree Williams: UM/UGA battle, Bama and UF trying to get involved. Mario done a great job w/his parents

LB Recruiting

Only one candidate to flip Hayes

Hayes: Bama/Miami trying to flip. Been on three secret visits.
Pruitt: Bama/Auburn trying to flip. Monitor the situation


Safety Recruiting

Xaiver Lucas from Heritage. UW commit, UM/FSU pushing for the flip. Late bloomer

Funny how it works:

UiF offers late for Barber as an example or some other school with a player in their backyard - that’s the offer They have been waiting for - they flip.

Miami offers CJ late - it’s going to be tough to flip him. Loyal to NC ST.

Fine man. If it ends that way when recruiting is done, Go ahead and watch the rise and die up there when we come and kick that ***.
