- Any confirmed height/weight/speed/agility numbers on Pickett?

- Would they want Markel Bell to come in and compete at Tackle? How many years to play?

- Do they view Acheampong as an EDGE, SSDE (Mesidor/Bain role), or sliding into the 3T role? I mentioned in the picture I posted that the dude looks like an outright freak. Crazy wingspan.

Collins would make for one **** of a WWE monster character if he has any form of charisma
 
It’s been a while, but we’ve been working. Here is the latest in Canes recruiting.

- All offseason, Miami sources emphasized to me that they expected on-field success to jump start recruiting. They have been building relationships for a long time and now they are delivering the results. Nothing imminent, but the three biggest fish to monitor through December- WR Jeremiah Smith (Chaminade), CB Ellis Robinson (IMG) and DT David Stone (IMG).

- While winning will help with the 2024 class, it will do even more with the 2025 class. Miami kicked it off with a big commitment from WR Waden Charles (Palm Beach Central). I don’t expect Miami to slow down. Some names to watch (not an exhaustive list): DT Armondo Blount (Central), S DJ Pickett (Tampa), LB Zayden Walker (Ellaville, GA), RB Waltez Clark (Tampa), WR Joshua Moore (West Broward), TE Logan Brooking (Savannah), WR Vernell Brown (Orlando) and DB Bryce Fitzgerald (Columbus). It’s also notable that Blount has struck up a friendship with #1 overall player OT David Sanders (Charlotte).

- As we first reported, Miami is making a strong run at Georgia commit WR Ny Carr (Moultrie, GA) and there is mutual interest. His senior highlights are freakish. Some other names on the WR board: commits Chance Robinson (STA) and JoJo Trader (Chaminade), Jeremiah Smith, Ryan Wingo (St. Louis), Nebraska commit WR Jacory Barney (Palmetto) Gator commit WR Jerrae Hawkins (IMG).

- One change in Miami’s recruiting process- a renewed emphasis on evaluating senior film. They are constantly evaluating their own commits, other teams' commits and uncommitted players. They will also not hesitate to upgrade at a position if necessary. Two guys who have really stood out on senior tape- CB Xavier Lucas (American Heritage/Wisconsin commit) and DE Booker Pickett (Tampa). Lucas is a verified 6’0.5, 185 with 10.9 speed. This week will be an enormous game for him against Jeremiah Smith and Chaminade.

- Mirabal and co. have not given up on Texas A&M commit OL Isendre Ahfua (Seattle) and are continuing to monitor there in case something happens. They are also still battling for OL Eddie Pierre-Louis (Tampa), who is going through the recruiting process.

- One big name to keep an eye on at OL: 6’9, 340 JUCO Markel Bell (Holmes, MS). He is the #2 overall JUCO in the country and has a connection to Miami’s staff.

- Miami is right in the thick of it for DT Aydin Breland (Los Angeles), who just released his Top 3. While Georgia is the favorite and always a threat, some view this as a Miami/Oregon battle.

- After losing LB Chris Cole (Salem, VA) to Georgia, expect Miami to keep the pressure on Gator commit LB Adarius Hayes (Largo).

- Miami is continuing to push with Daytona Beach Mainland stars CB Zavier Mincey and DL LJ McCray.

- They are also chipping away at Florida commit TE Amir Jackson (Portal, GA) and TE Davon Mitchell (Los Angeles). I expect another name there to join TE Elija Lofton (Las Vegas), who they consider one of the best football players in the country.

- Speaking of senior film: we knew commit S Zaquan Patterson (Chaminade) was a stud, but he is even better than a lot of people thought. Another name Miami is continuing to monitor at safety: Alabama commit S Red Morgan (Phenix City, AL).

- '23 signee DL Collins Acheampong was recently cleared to run and I’m told he’s blowing people away with his athleticism. Probably not going to be ready to contribute this year with the time missed, but he looks like a hit physically.

- Miami is always on the hunt for championship-level EDGE players, and don’t be surprised if we expand our board there.
Woooo baby, what an update.

As I’ve said all summer leading into the year, JUST WIN BABY!!!

We keep putting an exciting product on the field and the wins follow and the rest will be history!

Wouldn’t pay much attention to what recruits say. David Stone told every coach who talked to him that he was committing to their school, when in private he was always going to OU. These guys don’t put much thought into their comments to the media or what they tell various staffs.
Facts!!!!!

@DMoney or @Cribby ..Where we at with Dalias? Priority or backup plan?
 
SIAP but does anyone know if the staff prefers Brooking at TE or Ryan Ghea, both from Georgia…or maybe they want two. Also is Joshua Moore higher on the board for WR cause there are a lot of great WR in this class
