Pete said SEC.
Regarding my post on WRs. Really should not be a reason why WR can't be fixed within this class.
This class is a lot more top tier heavy and in our favor compared to last year.

Awesome information. Good to see you are feeling well.

I said it once, I said it twice, & I'll say it again. That game vs LSU in 2018 is the biggest regular season game in Miami Hurricane football history. We can literally with one win wipe away the whole SEC stench from South Florida. These kids will ALL be watching & we need to not only win but win in style. That could really be the turning point in this programs recent history.
Just based off a early educated guess. Regarding class size, attrition, early draft entrants and quality of talent in state at position of WR.
I'd expect about 5 WR in this class. Maybe they would make an exception for a 6th or take someone as an ATH or whatever case may be. 5 sounds realistic.
I could see some type of combination of 5 between Pope, Wiggins, Austin, Moore, Williams and Thompson. Especially the first five very realistic IMO.
I don't expect Copeland or Watkins at Miami but I'm sure Miami would make room for one if one wanted in.
I know I know I have not mentioned Hightower. Brooklyn, I know he's your nephew but for me personally. I have to see it to believe it regarding our presence within IMG.
I really like Jatavious but I get the feel the staff will stay local.
Schwartz is definitely a kid you keep tabs on.

We got 3 kids from img in 2015
One thing is locals. Another is OOS kids coming into the school.
Yeah but Hightower is close with dugans and he even said that clemson and USC have been fading just the other day
To me. Everything is in baby stages at WR right now. Even recruiting in general, everything right now is premature. We'll get a real grasp really soon of who we will be in and who will be out. I don't think this staff is going to play the wait and see with anyone regarding DB and WR this year. Too loaded. Take your spot now or risk not having one later on.

While I think there's a bit of exaggeration in this statement, the LSU game in 2018 will be incredibly important for lots and lots of reasons. The 2017 season will be a great one for us but the 2018 season is where it should all come together for a serious run at a Natty. In 2018 we'll have an experienced quarterback, absolutely nasty defense with tons of experience throughout, lots of studs at the skill positions, and a deep/strong OL. My family and I will definitely be at that LSU game in 2018.
5 is an absolute max. No way we get 6 WRs even if one is an athlete (especially since we're already taking 7+ DBs). Getting 5 would already make 1/5th of our class receivers, and that doesn't even include the 2 TEs we need.
Pope and Wiggins seem like we can already count them as apart of this class. And Xavier Williams will likely be guaranteed a spot. Seems to me the last spot or 2 is between Hightower, Thompson, Copeland, and Austin. Moore isn't needed in this class right after we got Thomas and Harley.
Again it will be difficult to get a full class of 25 this year, so over 5 WRs seems crazy to me. If we got 6 WRs this yr, we'd only be able to get like 1 in 2019.
You are right, but it just sounded like he was referring to the size of the DB's. People like Frierson playing corner. Not because SEC is better but Ivey, and kids like that are big compared to a Corn Elder. So the SEC is known for having pretty large skill players. Big Strong guys. I didn't sense too much slurping but I could be wrong.
A couple of days ago, Brooklyn made it sound Miami was no shoe in for his nephew.

This. Having more than 12 WR's on a roster is mismanagement. I don't care how talented they are. Only so many of them can be on the field.
This is especially true when you're recruiting slam dunks like Pope, Williams, and Jeff Thomas types. This isn't a scenario where were taking 6 and hoping 4 of them are legit.
Berrios is graduating and then Langham and Harris may end up being nudged out (if Harris doesn't play a lot better this year)
I think 4 has to be the max. 5 in one class creates too much congestion. If I could pick it would be Pope, Hightower, Williams and Wiggins. Then at TE I really hope we can get Brevin Jordan as the H type that can flex out and 1 bigger TE that is more a true TE.
Richards, Cager; Mullins, Thomas, Harley, Njoku, Pope, Williams, Hightower, Wiggins and Jordan would be an unbelievable group for our 2018 season. Add in Ali yard, Homer and maybe Camron Davis and the O would be loaded.

LSU is a must win, plain and simple. They were the official start of the downturn when they beat the **** out of us in the Peach Bowl. Beating them does so much in terms of recruiting and just an overall internal check that the dark times are over.

Would be poetic since they put us 6 feet deep back in 2005 or 2004
You guys are jocking LSU too hard. Lots of teams have been beating them the last few years.
Unless Frierson improves his coverage ability dramatically he shouldn't be playing CB here. He got turned inside out regularly at Paradise.
