Interesting list of South Florida OL prospects, with Khris Love getting the most Love for class of 2020 of all the Miami targets. Clearly list is biased because Dumervil is grossly underrated.

Mincey at #1 doesn't surprise me in that Mincey has a very high ceiling and may have the highest ceiling on the list but that of course is debatable. In terms of being #1 overall on that list not so much as I would probably put Dumervil at #1. Wish we could add him to this class. I'm very excited at the possibility of Walker commiting. Love the fact the Seymore is all Cane. Really want to add Tate in 2021. Is it just me or is OL recruiting starting to be fun? I love this newfound emphasis on OL.

To me Jonathan Denis is a fantastic prospect and he seems like a very realistic addition to the class. Close this OL class out with Walker and Denis and I will be beyond ecstatic.

I think these lists are based strictly on high school performance. Most other rankings take into account potential and how they project to the next level.

I would agree with this. I think the #1 rating is based on Mincey's incredibly high ceiling.
Not even saying it’s not incredibly high. I actually view him as one of those underrated 3 stars that is really a blue chip.

But Rivers and Walker, whether we get Walker or not, have even higher ceilings with their frame and potential to play tackle. Mincey could probably play tackle, but I see him more as an all-conference guard.

I agree 100% with this. Mincey could play tackle but guard is his spot. Really I was trying to get into the mindset of the person who made the list. Rivers and Walker have incredible upside to be freakish tackles.

1. Issiah Walker
2. Marcus Tate
3. Marcus Dumervil
4. Jonathan Denis
5. Laurence Seymore
6. Jaheim Shannon
7. Woody Jean
8. Khris Love
9. Gerald Mincey
10. Michael McLaughlin

Michael Martinez & Gerald Mincey are the 2 most overrated OL's in South Fla.

Go watch them at the Opening back in February, they both displayed terrible technique & really bad footwork.
1, 2, and 3 are elite. NFL and potentially first round types. Denis is a really good guard and Seymore will probably move into the elite category after his junior season. The rest are solid prospects.
