The board needs more fresh content, so I’ll be emptying the notebook every week or so with the latest on the team and the class. This was a huge weekend before the dead period, and Miami can expect to land multiple commits.

- The first domino was Jaden Rashada, Top 5 QB out of Pittsburg, CA. He has something in common with Gino Torretta and Ken Dorsey- all three are from Contra Costa County in the Bay Area of California. Hopefully, they will have also have Canes national titles in common soon. Numerous WRs have expressed their excitement about Rashada, including the #3 overall player in 2024, Josiah Trader. He was on campus today and is responding very well to the Canes. Another name who is excited about the news- Miami Immortals teammate and #2 overall player in 2024, Desmond Ricks.

- Nathanial “Ray Ray” Joseph is the next domino to fall. Expect him to commit to Miami this week. Some inside the building feel that he and Robby Washington are the two top players in South Florida. This team lacks players who can take a kick or a short pass to the house. It’s been a problem with the program for years despite a tradition of dynamic players. Joseph and Washington will change that.

- The next name to watch is Collins Acheampong, a 6’7, 254 pound basketball player-turned-DE from Anaheim. He is announcing on July 1st. The Crystal Balls read Michigan, but if I had to pick the next commit (besides RayRay) this would be it. A lot of Rousseau comparisons coming out of the weekend.

- Three names at the tip-top of the overall board are OTs Samson Okunlola, Francis Mauioga and Monroe Freeling. A source said “these are the types of guys we haven’t been getting” and Miami is in serious play for all three. They will be battles, though. My personal guess (not a report) is that we land one of the three.

- Malik Bryant is quiet and hard to read. We will know more as time goes on there. My guess is Ohio State with Joneel Aguero. Jaxon Howard could pick Miami but I’m leaning LSU here.

- Miami made up significant ground with Cormani McClain, especially with his mother. DVD is doing great work here. This will be an ongoing battle. The biggest hurdle is his relationship with TRob at Alabama. They are ahead of Florida.

- Johnathan Cline (OL from Cartersville, GA) has the green light, but if he doesn’t pop soon I’d expect other names to emerge quickly. Madden Sanker won’t be a factor going forward. The name to watch is Tommy Kinsler, the massive OL from Ocala. He committed to the Gators without his full family present, and Miami made a great impression on them this weekend. We will push hard for a flip.

- The next two big targets on the board are Jalen Brown and Hykeem Williams. Expect us to crank up the heat on both of them (it was already hot). Mario is a huge fan of both.

- TraVonte Citizen has blown away players and coaches with his size upon arrival. I would put Parrish and Knighton as the top two backs headed into camp, but Citizen has a chance to rise quickly.

You didn’t mention Riley Williams. I’ve already mentioned in another thread that I think he commits to Mario. I’m convinced even more so after todays news. Welcome back by the way.

Doesn’t matter if kids commit elsewhere, imo. We’re still going to recruit the **** out of them. UL got a lot of off season hype right now; I look fwd to the season begins & they chit the bed. It’s June heading into July; a lot of time between July & December or February.

Exactly. Wonder if they are still recruiting that Aaron Williams (CB) from Cali that’s committed to Louisville

No Andy Jean?

Also any news on the DB board outside of Aguero?
 
That stinks on Sanker. Was hoping we’d flip him from Louisville. Thought Howard was leaning towards us

Unlike the previous staff who couldn’t keep chit under wraps, who knows w/ Mario. The Army All American game taught me everything about how we now move.

Honestly, even going back to K Thibs when he was at UO; we all knew he was SC bound. My boy was bragging about Kayvon bringing SC back. He was pegged to go there since his sophomore yr, & voila, he commits to UO. I don’t put anything past this staff as long as Mario is there. I hate to keep comparing, but even Mario does it; he reminds me of Saban in how he recruits. Little is known about Bama’s recruits until u see them pounce like a tiger in the wild. Stealth & methodical. I like how we’re going about business; stealth & methodical.
 
Folks let’s remember that there will absolutely be a “Recruits who we give a follow up call to if we go 9-1/10-0 going into the Clemson game in Nov” list. The season is HUGE for some kids who love us in the summer time but just want to make sure all that glitters is actually gold and not fake gold. Don’t panic if certain kids aren’t on board now. I absolutely believe that with a good season that we get some elite kids to flip in Nov.

People saying the same about us. I don't think as many players are gonna flip as everyone is predicting.

D$ constructive criticism, if you can't read the player, don't make one. Cuz then the board take it as it's a fact and then we have endless threads of biching on speculation. We do need Bryant. He is probably one of the most important recruit based on his position. The first step is to dismiss UF and FSU , next is force outa state teams to have to take plan B kids. Good **** though. Sucks on Sanker 2, love his quickness as a guard.
