With the team off for spring break, the staff is even more locked in on recruiting. Here are some names to monitor as business begins to pick up:

- Miami is aggressively pursuing offensive linemen in this class, which they believe is the best in years. This includes high-profile uncommitted targets (Jackson Cantwell, Keenyi Pepe) and flips. Two potential targets for a flip: four-star Mississippi State commit Emanuel Tucker (New Albany, MS) and Louisville commit Joel...

Does he have a brother?
 
@DMoney Around this time last year, you said on the podcast we had the momentum to be a top 5 class. It wasn't just you that believed this, everyone on this board saw/felt the same thing. Although I think our 2025 class is a lot better than what the ranking shows and we have some studs there, we did however miss out on some of the dbs and top end wrs (Wilson, Brown, etc.). It seemed like we lost all momentum come November/early December. What do we need to do differently this time around in order to land an elite class? Is the staff taking a different approach this year?

I love the 2025 class and we added elite dbs through the portal, so it all worked out in the end for us. However, I don't think we can afford another slip again, especially when we need a strong Oline, WR and DB class

I think the defensive performance cost us some kids, like Gavin Nix and possibly Drake Stubbs and DJ Pickett.

But in retrospect, I overestimated the impact of a good '24 season and underestimated the impact of a bad '23 season. Most of these kids commit before the season, and most of those commits stick.

I think the relevant comparison will be what our commitment looks like in August 2025 versus August 2024.

Hopefully not let a kid have ties or be legacy kids, or live by an elite school that is recruiting them. You can pretty much know just by where a kids from where they are going a lot of the time. Like I would be concerned if an Atlanta GA kid picks us who UGA ain’t really push for. Especially with a school like UGA being up. If they were down that’s a different story.
That’s the way I see it at least.
