Recruiting Notes
**The Tim Irvin roller coaster ride continues, but things seem to be slowly turning back into Miami’s favor. The Canes have always valued Irvin as a prospect, but Paul Williams’ recent trip to watch him play really blew him away. UF has fallen off somewhat, which is a product of their disappointing season according to a source close to Irvin. Texas is the dark horse here because Irvin is a big fan of Charlie Strong, but it would take a lot to get him to leave South Florida right now. No timetable for his decision.
**Coaches are more than pleased with the progress of Demetrius Jackson. I’m told that Jackson has been the exemplary redshirt and taken the opportunity very seriously. Not only has he been adding great weight, but also his understanding of the game has improved leaps and bounds from the moment he stepped on campus. The word “monster” was used to describe his recent performances in practice.
- Like I told y'all folk WEEKS ago. There is a TON of time remaining in the recruiting cycle. NONE of the dudes who were have said to "sour" on the Canes are out of play. There's too much time and young minds are too difficult to get a clear read on. I've honestly always felt like Irvin would end up in Miami regardless of what has been said. UF sucks and I doubt he wants to go to Texas. He's signed, sealed, and delivered with a solid close to the season.
- I'm so hype about the potential of a Kirby, Grace, Owens, Muhammad, McCord, and Jackson linebacking core next year, that I have no idea what to do with myself. Owens and Grace are well on their way to being studs. Kirby has suddenly become a solid linebacker. McCord, Muhammad, and Jackson should give us edge rushing that we haven't had since Vernon, Bailey, and Ojomo. Jackson should be a terror coming off the edge, if not by next year, then certainly by his RS-SO year. I fully expect that he will expedite that process though. Dude is a freak athletically and if he's got it upstairs like they say he does, sky is the freakin limit.
