- 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.
Reading between the lines here. @DMoney , sounds like you're saying the Canes WR top 4 is (not ordered)

  • Washington
  • Joseph
  • Brown
  • Williams
I'm guessing Jean is #5? Would your priority list look similar?

One thing that stands out in that list is speed and Gattis clearly has expressed a clear desire to upgrade speed at skill positions.

If all five want in do they make room, bring one in as an ATH or first two that want in get the final two slots?

I think if Jean wants in theyd take five.
 
My guy. Whats your read on Bonsu? I have a feeling the staff is selling him on playing with Joenel. Just me guessing btw

If you are asking my opinion on Bonsu I say Cane in the end. That's a straight up guess as I don't know the kid like I do others. Plenty of recruits love the visit here and then go home and obviously the new wears off. I agree 100% with everything else D Money said.

Including the Howard take? That seemed to contradict the prevailing sentiment going into the weekend with Howard.
Now that I think about it, plenty of national writers have been saying LSU made an impression. I'll go into that one 50/50 unless something leaks prior to his commitment.

My memory forgives me, but does LSU want him as a TE? Or DE?

From what I’ve heard he has a very small shot. If he doesn’t blow people away during fall camp that a wrap for him. Him and Franklin are very lazy
No Way Wow GIF

Anyone know how many bodies we plan on taking at DT? Seems really quiet on those targets, or the board in general. Walker seems to be trending towards UF or Ohio Taint, Hicks had that Oregon buzz but not much else.
 
Top recruits who are gonna take their recruitment all the way till signing day look at the overall class and assess the trajectory of the class. If we can have a big month, month and a half and crack the top 10, top 8. That can go a long way in selling guys like Cormani, Hykeem, Wayne etc. That yes we gonna have the horses to challenge every team in america when they are JRs and SRs. So its important for us to start getting the highly rated guys we are in for. Its now a dead period too for a month
 
Obviously we won't be looking to take the kid at TE and I would assume LSU giving him that opp hence why he posted that. I have no insider info there that's just a read
So his preference is TE over DE? I got the impression was he know DE was where the long term future for him was?

Make sense, if five special talents want in at WR you take them, never turn down this year for the potential of next year (especially now that the IC limits are waived for two years). But I do wonder what that will do for the WR slots for the 24 class? There are some elite WRs coming two years from now.
 
It hilarious how yall get upset when someone reports that we’re not getting someone, that’s recruiting, even with White Hot recruiting momentum we’re not going to get everyone lol

I’ve got no issue if we don’t land Howard, keep pushing for Jayden Wayne, Bai Jobe & turn up the heat on Braylan Shelby, not to mention, we’re still big game hunting in the Nyckoles Harbor recruitment too. Fck it, make a run at Keon Keeley too just to make Notre Dame sweat for a bit, even if he’s 100% locked in with them, put pressure on’em just to because lol

But point being, there’s still a lot of options available at DE & we’re a long ways from Dec-Feb.

I’m not allowed to say this, but I’m actually good with the Aguero news, there’s a reason why I literally never said a word about him the entire year... I wish we would’ve pushed for Kylin Jackson at Safety, LSU loaded up at Safety this class & already has 2 committed plus are on the verge of getting Derek Williams. We could’ve been in play for Jackson had we pursued him much earlier.

Also wish we would’ve made a play for Curley Reed too, he’s another Louisiana DB that’s going to be leaving the state.

Any time a TX, Louisiana or CA kid isn’t staying in-state for the recruitment, Miami should be all over’em pushing the issue to get them down here & selling them on still being relatively close to home while playing at a premier program on the rise.

Either way, the recruiting news wasn’t as bad as yall are making it out to be, we’re actually sitting in a good position for a number of top 100 kids & are a legit threat on the trail battling it out with the rest of powerhouses.

Things appear to be on the UP & this is coming from me, someone who is always preaching about tempering expectations lol... If we have a winning season this year, the class will definitely pick up even more steam coming down the home stretch.

Flip season this Winter is going to be PANDEMONIUM lol
You ain’t wrong but I wanted my cake and eat it too… i I wanted to believe in the delusions that we were actually getting everybody.
