The Bank (12/20) AM UPDATE

Dec 20, 2022

Here is the latest on Early Signing Day eve:

- I like Miami for CB Damari Brown (American Heritage) and DB Conrad Hussey (St. Thomas Aquinas). Hussey projects as a nickel CB. I also like Miami for DB Edwin Joseph (Chaminade).

- Miami may add another Portal name at CB if it's the right one, but it is also possible they roll with an extreme infusion of youth and talent. Cormani McClain (CB Lakeland) and Robert Stafford (Eau Gallie) are here in spring.

- I think it's Michigan State for Portal DE Tunmise Adeleye.

- While it has been quiet, I still expect LB Francisco Mauigoa (Wazzu transfer) in this class.

- As reported last week in the Bank, if TE Reid Mikeska (Houston) flips to South Carolina, watch Miami with Oregon transfer TE Moliki Matavao.

- I still believe Miami takes three Portal WRs. Miami is in a good spot with Dont'e Thornton (Oregon transfer). Grant DuBose (Charlotte transfer) is working hard to get a waiver so he can transfer without graduating. As mentioned last week, he already used his one-time transfer. If he gets it, strong chance he joins this class for spring. I would expect Miami to land one more in addition to those two, with the focus on a legit #1.

- I like Miami for Georgia State DT Thomas Gore.

- Miami is still working on Florida commits Jakeem Jackson (Osceola) and Sharif Denson (Bartram Trail) until the buzzer rings.

- The big name to watch is S Derek Williams (Texas commit from NOLA). Texas wants him to sign early. If he pushes his commitment back, Miami will be heavily in play.

I thought Jackson was the bigger “prize” between him and Denson? But I’m old and this recruiting cycle has been INSANE to keep up with.

He didn't specify. Someone tweeted @ him saying we need to add a major HS WR and he replied with "You will not be disappointed".

Referencing this tweet?

It seems like a lot of DBs until you stop to remember we’ve lost 10 since the end of the year and it will be 11 if Balom decides to re-enter the portal.

I love the potential overhaul at corner. Added Brown yesterday, could add Denson, Joseph, and Brown's bro.

Our only returning guys are Porter, Couch, Graves, Curtis, and Harris. I'd think Couch and Curtis look into other opportunities or maybe Curtis moves to WR or as a return guy to use that speed.

Jean would probably be my #1 WR in SFL. I’ll give you that Hykeems potential is higher than any receiver in Florida but I get Lane vibes from him because he had potential too but never worked out.

He runs better routes that Lane ever did. He's great at judging the ball in the air and high pointing. He's got good speed for a kid his size and phenomenal hands. He's a kid I've been tracking for a while .

If any of you follow Ruiz on Twitter....he's hinting at a major surprise at WR.

NOT a portal guy to be clear, he stated it was a high school kid.

when you see news of new guys hitting the portal know that we got another one to replace them

Jackson is the better player regardless of where they both end up signing. Sounds like we have more traction with Denson, though.

Wasn't there talk that either McCoy or Cooper could play DL when they signed last year? With all the OL we are bringing in, maybe they plan to move someone over. Both are big, physical guys.

Cooper was the one they were referring to but I'd hate to take him away from the OL. He made a ton of progress. We may have to go get stop gap players (1-year of eligibility left FCS players). Depth is a real problem right now. Miller and Jackson leaving hurt a ton. We needed them.

What happened to the FSU transfer we were looking at?

I'd love another ready to play portal corner. I don't want Couch playing and the sample size on Porter is small so I'm not willing to write him off yet. Those are the only two guys who really have experience.

That unit is bare and Couch is likely being told to **** off. You’re left with really just Graves who didn’t play a snap
Gaby says we have late juice with Denson. Would be great to stuff it in Floridas face again but that is a ton of defensive backs lol

I think you need to take out the transfers. It has Cohen and Davonte Brown in there by default .

Wiltfong said we are still trying to flip Hykeem and Micah so that probably eliminates them

This was the one I was hinting at as a highly rated wr we were pushing for with Mays. Last I heard it wasn’t positive but that was a few days ago.

Cooper isn't going anywhere (at least he shouldn't). I'd argue he was one of the few bright spots in an abomination of a season.

He's got All ACC potential. I haven't seen a young guard play with that type of leverage in a LONG time.
