LWS Portal Recruiting Update
Why is Miami so aggressive in the portal this year?
Damien Martinez
Sam Brown
WR Portal Recruiting
Xavier Lozowicki
Zandamela
Not happening
DTs
Derrick Harmon
Simeon Barrow Jr
Tyler Baron
CJ West
Jaylin Alderman
Dyoni Hill
Miami still wants a portal safety and a nickle this cycle
Johnson Jr
For all the recruits where Miami feels good about this recruitment prior to the weekend, we still need to close
Why is Miami so aggressive in the portal this year?
- Small window w/Ward
- Potentially lure another elite Portal QB next year
Damien Martinez
- Miami way out front
- A LOT would have to go wrong for Miami to not land Martinez
Sam Brown
- Ties to Ward & Dawson
- Working out w/Ward prior to the visit.
- Things trending the right way
- Miami feels good about this recruitment prior to the weekend
WR Portal Recruiting
- Brown not the only option
- They are only recruiting WRs who could challenge to start
Xavier Lozowicki
- Impressive (given he's playing at Maine)
- Ties with former IMG players (Francis & Bryant)
Zandamela
Not happening
DTs
Derrick Harmon
- Geo's sources say he's "exactly what Miami needs"
- Gamechanger
- Lots of competition (beyond the names that are public)
- This isn't a done deal
- May visit elsewhere after Miami
- Miami needs to close
Simeon Barrow Jr
- This isn't a done deal
- May visit elsewhere after Miami
- Miami needs to close
Tyler Baron
- Miami realized they'd be able to do a lot better than Height in the portal so they cooled on him
- Very productive in $EC
- Miami involved along w/Ole Miss
- $EC/NCAA transfer rules conflict and which one takes precedence is unclear
CJ West
- Miami still in contact, still in the mix, but not at the top
Jaylin Alderman
- Nicholson has shown he likes to have LBs in the portal that he has experience
- Miami feels good about this recruitment prior to the weekend
- 4 LBs last year playing a lot, they want Pruitt to get bigger
- Goal: raise competition floor
- Popo getting big increase in playing time
- Need a vet w/experience to work with young LB core
Dyoni Hill
- Taken a few visits already
- Miami feels good about this recruitment prior to the weekend
Miami still wants a portal safety and a nickle this cycle
Johnson Jr
- Still a candidate
For all the recruits where Miami feels good about this recruitment prior to the weekend, we still need to close
