Need a little help from those of you who know all the local kids. @Liberty City El , you for sure, and anyone else.

It was mentioned by a poster on another board that there are a number of local OL-DL kids who are taking visits to UF, FSU and SEC schools, that Miami has not offered. This poster was at the coach's clinic on Saturday and it seems some of this was discussed. I have no names; only the following info:

"2 kids from South Dade, 1 kid from Norland, kid from Champagnant, aquinas kid"

in addition, there is someone at Southridge, former wrestler and track kid , we are on hard but haven't offered yet.

I know some names have been floated on this board , too, but I don't know where they go to school.

Anyone have any idea who these kids could be? What are your thoughts?

My first thought was there must be good reason we haven't offered.

They could also be talking about Jovens Janvier who was at Champagnat but is now at Miami Christian. The only Norland kid that I know is Isiah Walker. The other Aquinas kid that is a senior is Jai’mari Herbert. Those are the only seniors to be I know of, there is other underclass men that they may be speaking of. @Liberty City El and @gogeta4 will definitely know more.

How many of these guys are able to play tackle? That is the biggest need of our OL group. Not saying you turn away guards/center but also we gotta be sure we are finding the right fit there.

Since when Miami Christian became a Go to school for FBS level kids?

It happens. When I was in high school Gulliver was just another private school and Champagnant didn't exist. Isn't their "campus" still in a strip mall?

Bump this question. That's what I am wondering too. The way it was presented it made it seem like we were missing on great kids other schools had interest in. IDK - asking the experts here....

I graduated from there over 25 years ago. Our campus was never in a strip mall. Always had a decent size campus on 109th and NW 2nd street, maybe 15-20 acres. The school you’re alluding to was a degree school that opened up and used multiple private school names. Florida and Dade Christian put an immediate stop to them using their name. Miami Christian on the other hand didn’t do **** and allowed them to tarnish their name for a few years. Decent academics, no where near a Gulliver but I had classmates go to GT, Wharton, Michigan and obviously UM and the Turds. Also had a few get a full ride to the State Penn, so there’s that.

When I first got there in the late 80’s, we were competitive in 1A football, but nowhere near even a Gulliver or Belen in Football. After I left in the early 90’s the football program really started to deteriorate and they shut it down in the late 90’s. This is the 2nd time they try to restart the football program. First time they went cheap and ended up folding it again. They sold a piece of their property a few years ago and I heard they decided to use part of proceeds to restart program in 2017. This time they got smart, Hired Nick Turnbull as HC, gave him a good staff and had him recruit a whole new team of mostly underclassmen. Last year they won districts and advanced pretty far in the playoffs. Now this year they added some studs like Britt, Janvier and others. They appear to be taking a page from their very successful basketball program.

FYI Champagnant has been around for a long time, since the 70’s I believe. They just didn’t have football team until the 2000’s.
