The Bank (5/3)

[Bender]

DMoney is trying to make us think, just for one second, that there is hope and maybe some excitement to be experienced.

Not gonna do it, sir.

Was about to say...

I expect Miami to land a monster class at DT that could be four-deep or more.

Last phrase of the last sentence of the bank may be the most important one ever. All recruiting signs indicate that this was/is going to be the case, but I was afraid to say it or think that it might be true.

If @DMoney is telling us that we are taking 8 DTs, I think @Paranos is going to demand pictures of those mamas...

Ray Lewis

What a shame that one of the greatest players of all time doesn't have even a snippet of what he accomplished here or in the pros. It would be a nice way for some free advertisement for the university for any younger player who searches Ray to watch youtube clips or whatever.

They’re treating this DT class like last years OL. Balls to the wall.

 

[Caned Peach]

Christ. LOL. Why are players from 1990 on the net?

 

[G Reg3rdLeg]

That’s a possibility

I didn’t understand why this wasn’t obvious from the beginning. Don’t relatives of school employees get special treatment with regard to tuition?

Thanks for the update

Keep your heads on a swivel with the portal. Just because there’s not many names being thrown around doesn’t mean work isn’t being done. There’s a method to the operation.

Miami has been working in silence. Expect business to pick up in a major way this weekend. Can't say too many names yet, but I think Canes fans will be happy.

- Miami will be hosting several important Portal kids this weekend. Expect an explosive running back, a physically gifted defensive back and another starting-caliber defensive back to emerge shortly. It has already been reported that Keivie Rose (All-Conference DT from Louisiana Tech) is visiting. He is a small-town kid who is visiting with his mother and brother. The visit will be critical here. If he comes, he will be more of a physical interior presence.

- As we've reported since he entered the Portal, I love Miami's chances with Tywon Malone (DT from Ole Miss). He would be more of the athletic, penetrating type.

- Two linebackers will be visiting- Konnor Near (Ferris State) and Larry Nixon (North Texas). Both are All-Conference players at their level and project as inside backers. Neer has three years of eligibility, while Larry Nixon has one. Miami wants competition there. Neer is coming for one day on a straight business trip. It is likely going to come down to Miami and Oklahoma, where he just visited.

- Miami really likes JUCO center Amaury Wiggins, who is visiting this weekend. He has three years of eligibility and could be the center of the future. Even if Wiggins comes, there is still a chance Lou Cristobal joins the program. The overall scholarship number is getting tight so there will need to be roster management.

- Miami is still in the market for a backup QB with the goal of redshirting Jacurri Brown, at his request. If the NCAA moves the redshirt cap from 4 to 6 games, which is on the table, it will make the process a lot easier.

- JUCO WR Shemar Kirk should be visiting tomorrow through Saturday. Miami loves him. They are still in the game with WR Zakhari Franklin (UTSA transfer) and WR JaQuae Jackson (JUCO All-American). WR Xzavier Henderson is not totally out of the picture but there are complications there.

- Miami feels good where it stands with Chicago products EDGE Marquise Lightfoot and DT Justin Scott. They are also in a very good place with Seattle IOL Isendre Ahfua, who they love. Another player of Samoan descent that Miami really likes is DT Jayden Jackson at IMG. He is being recruited by Francis Mauigoa. He is close with DT David Stone, who remains a major Miami priority.

- There is traction with DT Artavius Jones (Blountstown, FL). He fits the mold of a future NFL prospect with his basketball and offensive background at 280+. I like where Miami sits in this recruitment and I absolutely love the prospect.

- Miami is also in the mix with Aydin Breeland (Mater Dei, CA), TA Cunningham (Miami Central), Alex January (Duncanville, TX) and Marcus Downs (Greer, SC). I expect Miami to land a monster class at DT that could be four-deep or more.

Thanks @DMoney. Is it safe to say that some of the "can't say too many names yet" are names not mentioned in this post at all?

UM revised "tuition remission" rules a while back (to be "direct family"). We still have some pretty healthy opportunities for "legacies", and Luis Sr. is an alum, even though he is not a current employee.

Maybe we can get him to join the UM police department...PROBLEM SOLVED!

Dare we say, "watch the finish?"

Not to mention Gattis from a burner email account.

WTF?

 

[Cribby]

Wash the spinach. I don’t think it’ll rock peoples worlds but I expect a handful of quality starters and rotation guys. For example the two dt’s would completely change the DL room.

 

[Scorpioncane]

I think OU took the lead from.us

Well, quit thinking about it!

 

[ssvir]

Thanks D$. Great update. I’m very curious about the mystery RB and DB.

I really would love to pull both DT’s but the small town guys always scare me. Hopefully the relationship with Smith can put us over the top.

Hope we are being extremely aggressive with the UTSA WR.

He'll probably give up the names now that you're very curious.

 

[Cane44]

who are we liking the most out of those WR names? The UTSA kid's highlights were pretty impressive IMO...

Ease up a bit @Cribby .We can only handle so much non-mopery
