A quick Saturday morning edition of The Work...
Notes on a couple defensive back commits
**Carol City safety Randy Russell is up in Gainesville right now with his team for a UF camp, but a source said he's been in contact with Canes coaches while on his visit there and is communicating that his commitment is solid to them. Miami running back commit Camron Davis is also there with the Carol City team.
**As you would imagine, Miami continues to do everything in their power to fight off any of Josh Jobe's potential suitors -- including Alabama and Florida. Although most have assumed that Jobe heading to prep school will make it tougher for the Canes to hold on to his commitment, Miami coaches actually believe the structured environment and schedule of Cheshire Academy will help his development on-and-off the field. UM safeties coach Ephraim Banda went up to the school in Connecticut earlier in the spring and met with coaches and academic advisors within the school in to help prepare for Jobe's arrival.
Miami wants to add another prospect from down south
**With D.J. Ivey already committed to UM's 2018 class, coaches are trying to add another South Dade prospect to the mix.
Outside linebacker/defensive end Patrick Joyner is a Florida State commit, but Miami likes their chances of flipping him. The pass rusher was a recent offer for the Canes and he came to multiple UM practices during spring.
Another South Dade prospect currently committed elsewhere that the Canes have a very close eye on is 2019 WR Frank Ladson, who is committed to UF. A source said Miami was thoroughly impressed with him during their spring evaluations and he will be a priority for them in 2019.
***
Tomorrow's 7-on-7 camp tomorrow will include Southridge -- where commits Mark Pope, Daquris Wiggins, and Diamant Howard are all expected to participate. Southridge, like Carol City, was up at Florida the last couple days. A source reiterated that UM isn't concerned with Mark Pope's level of commitment.
