The ATM (7/17)

Just some quick notes here:

- Miami has a great chance to land WR Somourian Wingo (St. Augustine) when he announces his commit at 2 PM. He is a 16 PPG scorer in basketball and 1K-yard receiver who excelled in front of Miami coaches at camp. Important to note- this would NOT preclude Miami from taking a fourth receiver such as five-star Tristen Keys (Hattiesburg, MS). They will take their swing there.

- If I had to bet, I can see Miami adding at least one more player (if they land Wingo) before the season starts. There are some big-money battles ongoing, and the Canes continue to lurk with guys like S Cortez Redding (Atlanta). He has some big fans in the building.

- My pick for RB Derrek Cooper would be Texas as of today. But just based on what I know and being a recruiting veteran, I'd expect some back and forth before Sunday. I'll let you know if anything changes here.

- One name I continue to hear about on the current team: LB Kellen Wiley Jr. (Seffner, FL). He is one of the biggest size/speed freaks on the team and should contribute Year 1.

Long time lurker, first time poster…Cooper would be great for optics, but all I see is Andrew Johnson…straight line speed, no jelly. Now if he was playing LB/S, break the bank.

If he wasn't from South Florida he wouldn't be quite the Cant Miss priority we all view his recruitment as. But until Texas got involved I think our investment would have made sense

Now it's Almost certainly not going to be worth what it'd take to win a full bidding war with Texas for a RB though. Either way we need 2 RBs this class (and every class now!).

If he was a Safety I'd say he's #1 most important player in country for us given our safety board and roster lol.

Normally id agree but look what we did to Florida with Picket right in stands, made little difference. Crooting is a fickle *****.

there are still Adidas defenders on this site?

What exactly is wrong with Adidas? Their uniforms are excellent. Their gear in stores is excellent. they treat us as we deserve, which is a blue blood Versus how Nike was dumping on us at the end of our contract with them with garbage uniforms and ****** gear. So just out of curiosity, what exactly is wrong with Adidas?

I dislike their fan gear personally. the uni look is fine with me but that was more richt telling Adidas were trashingg the palm tree nonsense we had. I dont know enough of the design details (fabric, etc.) to a have a qualified opinion on that
