Bring us the nasty beef!
Coach Mirabal has been laser-focused on rebuilding the body types on Miami’s offensive line. That group just got bigger with the commitment of Juan Minaya. Minaya (6’6, 315) hails from Paramus, NJ-- a suburb of New York City-- and holds offers from Florida, Penn State, Michigan State, Ole Miss, Boston College and Pittsburgh. He is a former basketball player with significant room to develop.
In just two years, Coach Mirabal has added Anez Cooper (6’6, 350), Matthew McCoy (6’6, 300), Tommy Kinsler (6’6, 330), Frankie Tinilau (6’6, 315), Francis Mauigoia (6’6, 315) and Samson Okunlola (6’6, 300). Minaya fits right into that mold.
His junior clips were up and down for me, but you can see the promise in his sophomore film:
Developmental guard.What role does he project on Miami's roster?
Lmao, you are a funny dude manTape isnt that good to me either.
Has the size that cant be taught, showed some movement skills, and a kick step.
Interior prospect that should take a shirt...and they can hopefully mold with that type of size and apparent strength. He needs to work on his flexibility and leverage as he plays high and feet seems kind of lazy for finishes.
If im taking projects....im taking hima nd Frankie...they are big kids ill say he is on the line of Frankie from last class.
Also this kid looks like he goes to Braddock or Coral Park or something, drives a Honda civic with pipes, and has a girlfriend named Idaliz.
He fits in at Miami like a glove...lol
Are we looking at taking any developmental tackles this year?Developmental guard.
Yes. Deryc Plazz from Jacksonville is one candidate.Are we looking at taking any developmental tackles this year?
Brandon Baker... He's a developmental top 10 pickAre we looking at taking any developmental tackles this year?
Huge upside. But its going to take 2-3 years from this point. Which isnt a bad thing.
Also puts us into the North Jersey Parochial scene which has several big time kids every years that Mich/PSU/Osu/Notre Dame typically get.
I believe so, no others coming to mindAQM last one of those?
Do you not remember last year?? This is exactly how the cycle started then as wellI’ve never really been a star guy but I gotta tell ya I also have a hard time with believing that suddenly Mario and these recruiters are the only ones identifying these future studs as if they have some unique superpower that no other programs have. One or two flyers I get - happy to be proven wrong, but right now, this class is very suspect.
Mark Fletcher,CJ, and CWH will eat behind this.
NGL he looks like a slightly larger version of my younger brother when he was at Coral ParkTape isnt that good to me either.

Mario definitely has a type for OL.
