Lifewallet Sports Portal/Recruiting

LWS 12/14 show w/ @Geo305



Miami happy w/Ward or Howard. Sound like Geo feels this could drag out into the weekend.
Sheppard may be visiting this weekend. Watch this closely. There's a reason why he dropped the name.

Expect more FSU DL to hit the portal
Miami in flux here also

HS Recruiting

Bailey/Smith

he was wrong, Smith did OV in the summer, could still UV this weekend
If one comes, the other will come too.
Unlikely that one comes to Miami and the other sticks w/current committment

Telling the coaches the right things, Miami thinks they will survive the visit
Threw in the general Recruiting is fluid, nothing certain until pen hits paper for the NLI caveat

Lyle

Visiting this weekend. Likes where Miami is at. Miami could flip Lyle

BlackBurn

Miami feels good here, but space is tight

Drops

Space is tight
DL, LB could be dropped. Person on offensive side could be dropped too
Depends on who wants in

Eddy Pierre-Louis

Doesn't expect Miami to be picked

Broussard

Miami monitoring, thinks he'll stick

Blount

Miami has a lot of traction here
F$U concerns (Norvell DL recruits entering portal)
Chances of a flip significantly higher than in November

Stone

Sticks w/OK

Stewart

Miami working, chances are small. Would be surprised if he flips
Scott wasn't a surprise to Geo

Melendez (LB)

Committing soon, visiting Miami this weekend
Not originally from FL
Staff feels good. Expects him to commit to Miami.
Some $EC schools in the mix along w/O$U

Kendall Jackson

Miami surprised that he committed on the day he committed, wanted him to visit first
Miami very high on him, excited about potential
He's younger (like Kelly)

Hayes

Miami very much in the mix here
Wouldn't be surprised if he visits

Locked in w/UGA
No rumors of a flip or a visit

Expects him to flip from Wisconsin
Both FSU and Miami feeling good, no idea where he ends up

Continues to like where Miami is at
Will be a nice surprise for Miami at the AA game

Q&A Segment

Shemar

Not in the portal, pure speculation at thsi point

Stewart

NLI heavy, doesn't see him flipping

Smith

F$U been a player all along
Certain O$U coach called 7v7 coaches, saying keep Mario away from JJ
Miami's plan all along is to get the last visit
Wouldn't be surprised if he flipped to either FSU or Miami
Family leaving this up to JJ
Anyone who tells you they know what he's doing, they're lying

Ward

Supposed to arrive at FSU today, IF that visit happens

Howard

Visit went well.

Miami will NOT be held hostage by Portal QB
Plan was to strike fast, they need someone in place to help close out HS recruiting

“Certain O$U coach called 7v7 coaches, saying keep Mario away from JJ”

What absolute pieces of **** these SFE coaches are. Their jobs are to get kids exposure and make sure they make the best decision for their futures, not to be gatekeepers and Brian Hartline’s bartenders.

Hard to worry about the kids when you’re worried about keeping your own bags showing up every month..

He's a DE/Edge and we are loaded at that spot right now. One of the few position groups that really is elite on the squad. Plus we are tight on numbers.

I disagree. Only 2 proven Edge players on the roster and one has an injury history. Personally I think Miami needs a transfer to be DE3 next year. The young guys might not be ready, regardless of how highly rated they were in HS.

I've always wondered what the 7v7 coaches have to do with the kids once the real football season starts. Are these kids still involved with 7v7 stuff once the actual fall football season starts?

The only way this works with the coaches is if OSU has the 7x7 coaches in their bag, which they probably do. Very similar to what happens in basketball with AAU coaches. If the coach wants to keep receiving the bag from university X, the coach needs to deliver the player. Of course it does not always work as the player has free will. But some players have closer relationships with their coaches than others, and they are the most susceptible to this sort of manipulation.

Feel free to disagree. I was a little taken aback at the lack of insult though. Is this still CiS?
If he was the top DE in the portal with one/two years left, ok (Jaelan Phillips). If we didn’t have the young depth, also ok. We are tight on numbers with high end recruits coming in this weekend. I’m also not a scout, but I do play one on the internet.

Believe the head guy with SFE is a big O$U fan.
