Cristobal and him have a pre exsiting relationship, more than Brady i think. Not certain but i think thats what i read or heard somewhere, so there is more smoke. Also UGA is preparing for playoffs so i could see him agreeing to come but don't want it announced publicly but maybe the recruits know. Maybe.
Any mention of moten’s brother as of recent?
No. His recruitment has just gotten going. I don’t think he’s signing to February.
I was just thinking the other day "maybe Mario can salvage a top 30 class" and then I started doing the math. Just adding Kelly and one of the other premium targets likely gets Miami's tiny class into the top 25. If Mario pulls a >25 class despite only being here a short while, I'll crown him.
I would drop it to 11 (ibieta) will be decommiting soon
This. Lake said Moss probably ends up at USC.
I like what we’ve got. If we have truly settled with the kids committed, we have 2 solid 4* corners, 1 safety, 1 stub LB, 1 QB1 of the future and 2 WRs (don’t know if this includes Ibieta or if Coleman is his spot instead but Horton seems to be in regardless). Now we have a chance with a couple of bookends on DL too. That would make it 9 without any other surprises. Mix in some non ESD highshoolers that fill in OL, DT, 1 more CB, more LBs, a TE (if the right one), 1 RB (if the right one) and may another WR. And some of these kids may be following from Oregon.
I think 1 LB from the portal is a must more so than CB and WR. CBs can play as freshmen and we have some pretty good but young WRs.
It would be interesting to see what we may already have in the form of LB (not including either of the Smiths that are currently playing). Is Brooks not healthy or just over looked? TAC overlooked? The change in coaching gives rise to a new evaluation period. I have to imagine that Flagg will end up in the portal in the next two years if we go speedy at LB. If we don’t have it, then we definitively need it and the portal is the only place (and would be better if we were right on the possible portal LB).
In most circumstances though, if the kid pans out and is playing really well, they’ll stay at the school they’re at. You can get a strange situations like Tyrique, Rambo, or Phillips, but I’m worried we get more Deandre Johnson types. While they can contribute, they’re not necessarily difference makers.
Yes, of course. But the point is, at the very least, whether they are playing or not, good or bad - a lot of times you can have that first crack at a follow up evaluation/consideration for taking players back.
I want Graves locked down early, he's key imo. There was an update last night from Gaby saying Graves said he'll probably sign with Miami Wednesday.
