**After feeling good about Miami coming out of his official visit weekend, momentum has shifted back in favor of Mississippi State for S Martin Emerson. After checking in with a source close to the recruitment, I am comfortable flipping my pick to the Bulldogs here.


**Things are trending in the right direction with UCLA DE transfer Jaelan Phillips and it seems he is a take for Miami after talking to a team source. If I could put in a Miami pick for him I would. I have heard nothing new regarding VT DE transfer Trevon Hill's situation.


**There’s a few guys still on the board that seem like 50-50 toss ups right now, and those would be CB Christian Williams and OT Darius Washington. While I haven’t heard enough to make a pick either way, I’m told the staff still likes their chances with both prospects.


**This is the final official visit weekend before the dead period and recruits begin signing next Wednesday. The only scheduled visitor at the moment is DE Khris Bogle, who is making his second OV to Coral Gables. While I’m comfortable saying UF is leading here right now, Miami is getting the last shot at him to swing him back and anything can happen if you get the kid on campus for an OV. Follow who is and has been visiting with our OV tracker (linked here) pinned to the top of the recruiting board.


**2020 offers have been going out like crazy the past week or so as UM continues to really expand their board at all positions under Manny Diaz. Another new name to keep an eye on that UM is evaluating is OT Andrej Karic from Southlake Carroll High in Texas. At 6’5” 240, Karic is a rather thin, but athletic, tackle prospect with upside, and sports early offers from Michigan, Oregon, TCU, Nebraska, and Washington State.

What an absolute abortion of a cycle. Emerson was a layup and now he's trending back to Miss St.? UF comes in late and steals Bogle? Are recruits allergic to this defensive staff?

Yes. They can’t recuit very well. How many times does it have to be said? Can they coach? It seems so, but recruiting they are a C- staff at best.

Banda swings and misses yet again, but gets a complete pass.

Banda and Rumph need to be replaced with elite recruiters at that position.
Had a bad feeling when Manny decided to run it back with these guys. Banda and Patke have zero credibility when they walk into a living room. Rumph at least played the game at a high level and has proven to be a developer of talent

And was a first round draft pick on the goat team of college football
 
Doubt we get the 50-50 kids. You know the 'staff feeling confident' line is the kiss of death. Thank god for Brevin locking up Bolden.

I am trying to get away from that way of thinking. Those were the days of Shannon, Golden, and Richt. I think we have a much different staff now and a far brighter future. We definitely cannot judge Manny and Co. after this off season. They inherited a train wreck.
