Raul "Popo" Aguirre Film Review: 4 Star LB is coming home! Elite size at 6'2 220 with great speed & instincts that enhance his sideline-to-sideline ability. Modern-day LB thrives in space vs run/Coverage that will deliver the BOOM on arrival. HUGE PICKUP. #GoCanes

Key Strengths

Athleticism - Modern day sideline to sideline LB

Awareness- Next level ability to see blockers coming as well as to see the big picture dropping back into coverage

Footwork- Ability to man WR's in the slot with his quick feet, allowing him to stay in the best position in coverage

Physicality- 6'2, weighing 220 is not scared to attack blockers. Coming at high speeds, when he reaches the ball carrier it comes with a BOOM.

They match his uniform. He can walk into this LB room and be in the two deep easily next year.

We haven’t had Popo’s attitude in a long time. There is an old story that Michael Irvin was watching a UM practice his senior year of high school. When asked what he was doing, Irvin replied “looking to see whose spot I am taking next year”.

Yes we have… sorry for ****tin on your parade but these posts happen every single year. I think Popo is a stud but we hear this bravado talk every single class.

I love it
Kid might be my favorite commit in the class and that was before that comment. He is a difference maker at a spot we haven’t had one since 2019.

Here are the highlights of the interview:

“Everything was good, I had a great visit,” . “Coming in early in the morning, I spent time with my family and my brothers. Hard fought loss. It was a good team, but there are definitely things we can clean up. I say we because I’m putting myself in that family already.”

- Instead of viewing the Hurricanes’ season negatively, he sees it as an opportunity to come in and revitalize a historic program and make an early impact.

“We all see how open the door is and what Miami is like,” “Like what coach Cristobal first said, when the U is on, it’s like no other. We all feel like we can come in here and do it. We have talent all around here, so why leave? Put all that stuff together, and we all preach and talk about it every day about what we can come in and do. I’m going to be honest; we’re coming in to take people’s spots.”

-He mentions how he was so surprised, yet happy that so many fans recognized him when he got to Hard Rock.

“As soon as I’m walking down in the stadium, everybody’s yelling, ‘Raul or Popo’ taking selfies with me, and all of that definitely made it big,” . “Every time I come to Miami, I get this feeling that it’s home, so that’s why I committed and that’s why I’m coming, and we’re going to put on.”

“Warren Sapp was joking around, saying this is a reunion for you, isn’t it? It’s like a family environment. Everybody knows me and has seen me before. It’s definitely just going to make me go back home and put in the work, get my body right to come in and dominate.”

I think this is different. Mario is actively telling his recruits to take spots. i know all coaches make similar recruiting pitches but I think Mario is setting up an “you against them” mentality within the team.

Being an early enrollee has never been so important. Hopefully this kid and McClain are. I believe Francis is

I think it’s different because Mario is recruiting at a different level but it’s the same story. We need to change the culture, get fresh blood. Coach told me that he expects me to come in and compete for the job etc. Randy, Golden and Richt were gonna bring back the old Miami. Diaz was the new Miami. It’s basically all the same message repackaged. Nothing wrong with it but it’s not new or different.
