OL Nino Francavilla commits to Miami

Jul 31, 2023

Miami added another prospect to their 2024 recruiting class on Monday night with the commitment of offensive lineman Nino Francavilla, a former Harvard commit. Francavilla, a native of Toronto, Ontario, plays at Cheshire Academy in Connecticut.

Francavilla's decision comes five days after the Miami Hurricanes officially extended an offer. Before then, he had attracted attention from other programs like Yale, Penn, and Florida Atlantic University.

Francavilla, an interior offensive lineman, projects as a center at the collegiate level, a position that relies heavily on ability to process information quickly. His Canadian grit combined with the obvious smarts judging by his Ivy League offers is an intriguing combination at the center spot.

One particular thing that stands out in Francavilla's skill set is his shuttle time. He clocked an impressive 4.81 in Miami’s system, showcasing his agility and quickness.

That first clip, with Mirabal jumping in the air and rushing over to congratulate him is probably why he got the offer.

Brick by brick. It’s Mario bro don’t ever doubt his o-line recruiting.

These dudes wouldn’t even get a walk-on spot at Bama or Georgia.

Lord we better hit the portal this off season again

Walk on ?

These dudes wouldn’t get a shot at equipment manager….

I’m no OL expert by any means but he doesn’t look half bad to me. 6’3 and 295, obviously a ******* genius, and his feet look pretty good. Idk.

Just think.. one day our offense will start with Judd ******* Anderson taking snaps from Francavilla. Sprinkle in a little Lou Cristobal and we might be putting up a consistent 5 points per game.

Yeah some real head scratchers but what can we do as fans. I just have to laugh at this point and hope it all works out.

We need 8-9 wins this year, hit the portal and load up next class I guess.

So this dude is a center. Is that big ************ that reminds me of Brandon Washington a guard or center?

All you can do is laugh and pray these 2 new coordinators can get it done and Mario stays out of their way…..Lord knows Mario needs to spend all the time he has on recruiting…his specialty

How many JAGs is Mario taking in this class? Isn’t it enough already…

Come on jags already and they haven’t played a down of senior year? Let’s give it some time. It’s a strange take for Miami but I trust Mario and Mirabal with their evaluations.

Listen Leeds, I was pushing for Mario to be named HC since Golden was fired, which is longer than I should probably be admitting on here. I've defended him more often than I should and I'm prepared to go down with the Mario ship.

That being said, nobody should agree with every recruit he takes. I have a resume that I rarely get into on here, but I've coached multiple kids that Miami has recruited and I'm telling you this kid is an odd take. In fact, I can't defend 3 of our last 4 O-line commits or our QB. Which makes no sense considering we have Mirabel AND Mario. Something is off right now and multiple insiders are saying as much. Pretty sure you of all people know something isn't right.

So you can spare me the middle finger.

The Maude’s will spare all of you this continuing

saga just like we had to with others. We’ve received many complaints about this and hoped to avoid this.

I have pleaded with computer programming owner man here to remove the
