The Work 7-13

View as article
**Despite most Miami fans continuing to worry about the DT situation, the staff is confident with where they are at right now. Moten is making waves already and they feel like he is as good as advertised, Wyche is a massive upgrade at nose tackle, and Calvin Heurtelou might be the strongest player on the team. Heurtelou’s counterparts at OL were raving about how tough he was to move by the end of spring ball. Also, the staff is very pleased with Courtel Jenkins’ progress early on. Jenkins is only a few pounds off of his goal weight and has grown (height) since the time Miami began recruiting him. As far as recruiting goes at the position, RJ McIntosh is currently weighing 275 pounds and Miami coaches believe he has the same sort of upside as Muhammad Wilkerson, who Golden and D’Onofrio groomed at Temple. They believe they are in the picture for Neville Gallimore as well and I should have some JUCO names later this week.

Dammit this pains me..... My apologies Paranos! If he ends up at UM I'll gladly eat a wealthy portion of crow but wooooooo it'll be some good *** crow :cigar:

**The Torrance Gibson situation is going to get very interesting. First to clear any speculation, yes Miami is recruiting him as a QB. They know that is what he wants to play so they will give him that opportunity in order to try to land him. Is his NFL position at WR? Probably so, but Miami is not dumb and knows they would have no chance if they recruited him as such. With Miami’s recent success landing impactful South Florida kids, look for that to play a major part in his decision. As I mentioned last week, Snelson could be the wild card here for the Canes.


Exactly what staff should be doing. Tell this kid whatever he wants to hear, Try him at QB his first season and if he works out then great and if he doesnt then we got another WR to add to Bruce, Mullens, and Snelson. Gibson and those 3 at WR in 2016 is scary stuff.
 
I know they say no one is perfect, but between the brow and being a Knicks fan, you are a long ways off.

@PeterAriz: Just a few months ago, Calvin Ridley and Shawn Burgess-Becker were planning to commit to the canes, now they ruled us out. What happened to change the situation so fast?

Is there any truth to the rumor that Calvin Ridley was the recruit who was photographed talking with a Gator coach during the dead period?

As much buzz as there is about the 2016 class, I feel equally as pessimistic about the 2015 defensive class.
 
Alright, "f" it I'll ask. Pete what's your take on what Burr had to say on the WEZ about Irvin and Quan? Some strong stuff he was saying about the two of them. Nothing positive.

Dhucks.. I don't go to the WEZ.. what did Burr say.. paraphrase for us.. I've heard that they aren't feeling the U at all. If so does that me we go hard after Carlton Davis, D. Davis, and Cole

If we don't end up landing an elite in-state receiver for the second consecutive year, I'm curious as to how many receivers we'll be taking in this cycle. We added a bunch on NSD back in February and will apparently be looking to add 3-4 more in 2016 with three elite receivers already committed for that class.

Chatman is the only one currently committed who I'd hate to lose, though Gosier obviously has a high ceiling and is an intriguing talent. Would we really take three even if we miss on the top targets at the position?

IMO if we don't land Irvin and Quan doubt we land Cole
 
If we were able to get Gallimore in this class, I would consider him to be the best of the group and I think it would be the marking point for when Miami turns the corner and heads toward elite status.
