"Maybe the best DL class in program history"

so armondo Blount is reclassifying, likely will be a 5 star (high 4 star)

we have

DT
Armondo Blount - ? not sure, was 5* in '25, might be a high 4*, low 5* for '24
Artavius Jones #30 DT
Jamil Burroughs - Transfer from Alabama (was looking at meaningful snaps this year if not chance to start)

Edge
Marquise Lightfoot - #6 edge
Booker Pickett Jr - #19 edge

-1 of only 2 teams to have two edges in the top 20 composite (Kentucky is the other)


not the best class ever but certainly nothing to ***** and moan about

Missing Rudolph (4* edge) and Russell (3* dt)

That’s more than enough up front talent to beat ACC teams. Plus the linebackers are good gets. We need Robinson though.

Blount's not a DT, think if him filling the same role as Bain does. Still need one more Portal DT that slots in as the 3/4 DT for next year.

I truly believed our staff put that out in recruiting circles to hopefully get a big time commitment during the summer and gain momentum to sway sum other guys. “Stars want to play with stars” type stuff. **** even wiltfong mentioned it in multiple videos/articles. If it was during his first cycle I get it, but like you said coming off 5-7 I was in wait and see mode the whole time.

IDK who originally predicted that this would be the best DL class ever at Miami, but that might go down as even worse than Sileo Jr and the Heritage Boys

DSJ was gassing everyone up and was doing it intentionally. I think we still landed one of the AH kids. Claiming we are getting the best DL class ever and going 0 for 7 is such an epic fail that only the Germans have a word to describe it.

That’s why I pumped the brakes on that stuff. There’s not many elite DT’s and everybody wants them. There was people acting like we were getting all of our targets . That said… I did expect a couple of really good dt’s by now

If it came down to money, how could we possibly get outbid, especially for a 5 star DT who could reclassify for 2024? Doesn't make sense. There arent any elite QBs or DTs currently in our class. There should be massive amounts of unspent NIL in the bank account, unless there wasn't any to begin with.

What exactly is their plan at DT? Struck out on everyone. LT is gone. Will JHH return as a 5th yr guy? They need to hit the portal or try to circle back and steal atleast 1 of the big names

All of the “insiders” were saying the same **** they say every year. We were in the hunt for the big whales at DT. It was all BS like usual.

Until you guys learn to take this as entertainment, like watching WWF, y’all will be miserable following this team
