The answer is always somewhere in the middle. Are we going to flip everyone and end up with every 5 star we ever wanted? FCKUCK NO. Is our class done with 19 commits, no to that one as well.

Right. And I would also point out the sheer NUMBER of flips we are pursuing. Not saying we get them all, but our coaches aren't idiots, and they wouldn't have SO MANY targets that are flips, at least not to the exclusion of interested recruits who are currently uncommitted.

I'm tired of people evaluating Mario's recruiting efforts in terms of "the last 20 years". I understand prior-year-frustrations, but it doesn't mean anything anymore. It's like Alabama fans trying to evaluate the first few years of Saban by comparing him to the several failed coaches who preceded him.

I don't know if Mario will get everyone he targets, but he sure as **** makes the effort, and that is ALREADY more than we can say for multiple prior coaches, including Manny and Fat Al.

Its locked down but people are also being respectful with the info they have. I normally tell a few people leading up to a commitment but with Cormani I held to day of. Even with @IndayArtHauz . I’ve known him forever.

Mario should try to concentrate on coaching ever once and awhile. Another win the off season coach….. did I do it right?

I apologize for the vague question. But is this next influx of recruits really happening? Like these flips and all this craziness? I dont need names. Don't want them. Keep that **** a surprise so we can keep slamming CFB on its head like an Olympic Judo black belt.

I'm so cot**** excited I can't contain myself. The air smells sweater, my toothpaste is mintyer. I strut around like a champion rooster in an illegal back yard kock fighting ring in horse country. I'm waiting for someone to ask me about all the big plays we give up so I can rip in to them like Steele did. This is dangerous.

Possibility of multiple flips. As many as 3 imo. As I’ve mentioned there’s a mystery cb at another program I can’t name but he’ll have a spot for sure if Brown surprisingly goes elsewhere. Brown is ” expected “ to commit and if he does I’m not sure where that leaves the other CB, or J Jackson for that matter.

They want two rb’s minimum even if it’s one HS and one portal.

They want two rb’s and I still wouldn’t bet against a third rb in the portal. Two minimum.

So Ricks is not a thing? Im more than happy with our CB class with Cormani and if/when we add Damari Brown. Hopefully WR has some nice splashes as well.

Please tell me you arent so ignorant to not want a RB that top 1500 yard and 15 TDs on the ground in our offense? I hate OSU as much as the next guy but I can't argue facts and the stats they put up.

The Bank is back open for business. After winning the battle for Cormani McClain, Miami has momentum heading into a huge recruiting weekend. One point that a source emphasized to me: last year’s late rush (Skinner, Citizen, Moss) wasn’t just the product of Mario’s late hiring. Expect us to emerge or reemerge with big-time kids down the stretch. Let’s go position-by-position to see where we stand:

QB- Jaden Rashada (Pittsburg, CA) and Emory Williams (Milton, FL) are committed. While there are no sure things in recruiting, both look solid as of now.

RB- This is a position where there have been several swings back and forth. Chris Johnson, Jr. (Dillard) Is 5’11, 181 with 10.45 speed and runs inside like the other Chris Johnson (no relation). He was on campus this past weekend. Miami is continuing to recruit Mark Fletcher (American Heritage) and his dad is a Canes fan. Kyron Jones (Charlotte) is an NC State commit with a Miami offer. There is always a chance that we pop up with Cedric Baxter (Orlando) down the stretch. I expect Miami to take one. Chris Johnson Jr. would be my pick as of today, but this one is changing daily. I’d also keep my eye out for an impact Portal addition.

WR- Robbie Washington (Palmetto) and Nathaniel Joseph (Edison) are committed. The focus is on two names: Taeshaun Lyons (Bay Area) and Wake Forest commit Micah Mays (Benjamin). Both are expected at the FSU game and I believe we take one. Brandon Innis (American Heritage) is a priority target and, if it heats up, it may be later in the process. Expect 1-2 portal additions here with a focus on impact players.

TE- Riley Williams (IMG), Reid Mikeska (Houston) and Jackson Carver (Minnesota) are all committed and expected at the FSU game. No movement imminent here. I was wondering why Carver didn’t have senior film, but apparently he’s been injured (nothing long-term).

OL- Francis Mauigoa (IMG), Connor Lew (Atlanta), Frankie Tinilau (Lasalle), Tommy Kinsler (Ocala) and Antonio Tripp (IMG) are committed. The remaining target is Samson Okunlola (Brockton, Mass). That will be a battle but Miami is in good shape and positioned to close.

DE- Jayden Wayne (IMG) is committed. The focus is on closing the deal with Rueben Bain (Central) and we feel good about that progress. Not a done deal or foregone conclusion. He will be at the FSU game. Miami is communicating with three high upside, project-type DEs: 6’6 Chamberlain Campbell (St. Petersburg Lakewood), 6’7 Collins Acheampong (Orange County, CA, Michigan commit) and 6’4 Bai Jobe (Oklahoma, Michigan St. commit). This is one position to watch in December- while Miami may not be trending for Damon Wilson (Venice), Sam MPemba (IMG) and Nyckolas Harbor (Washington DC), it would not be surprise me if one of those names heated up late.

DT- The name to keep an eye on is Joshua Horton (Atlanta). He is 6’5, 293 with a near 80-inch wingspan and a 4.0 GPA. I’d put him on commitment watch. Expect a portal addition here as well.

LB- Popo Aguirre (Fayetteville, GA), Malik Bryant (Orlando) and Bobby Washington (Palmetto) are committed. Miami is still hot after Stanquan Clark (Central) and he remains a high priority. He will be at the FSU game. Miami is continuing to recruit JUCO Justin Jefferson (Alabama commit).

CB- Robert Stafford (Melbourne, FL), Antonio Jackson (Dillard) and—it feels good to say this—Cormani McClain (Lakeland) are commits. One source inside the building on McClain- “He has the upside to be the first overall pick of the draft.” Miami is pushing to add another big corner- the candidates are Damari Brown (American Heritage), Ja’keem Jackson (Kissimmee, FL) and Sharif Denson (Jacksonville, FL). Brown will be on campus this weekend and is on commitment watch. I expect us to land one of the three.

S- Kaleb Spencer (Colonial Heights, VA) will start out safety. People are very excited about his size, closing speed and physicality. I’d watch one of the bigger corners in the class to potentially end up here.

Overall, things are moving and changing quickly. But the McClain commit should put Miami fans on notice of what this staff is capable of in the recruiting game.

He’s going to start as a TE, and we have a lot of distance between here and there, but don’t be surprised if jackson carver ends up as a DE.

Carver has jalean philips type upside at that position if he builds up and develops the way jalean did.

This was an amazing find by the staff. Definition of diamond in the rough. He just started playing football as a Sr which is insane. On top of that he’s a hockey player and Lacrosse player. This one you pack away for a couple years then unleash in his second or third year. I wouldn’t be shocked if this one hits big. He’s a Mario type for sure.
