The Portal is cooling down and recruiting is heating up. Here is the latest:

- Miami is in a good position for nickel Keionte Scott (Auburn). He was a preseason All-SEC player and Senior Bowl kid at nickel before moving outside and struggling. He has NFL upside if he regains form with his old coach, Zac Etheridge.

- The Canes are also in a strong spot for LB Mohamed Toure (Rutgers). He was previously coached by Miami DC Corey Hetherman and was one of the best LBs in the Big 10 in 2023 before an ACL injury. He is expected to be full go.

- I don’t anticipate any other action. Miami didn’t love the DT value available and is prepared to forward with their bigger DEs ans inside options alongside DT Artavius Jones.

- The battle for Jackson Cantwell (Nixa, MO) feels like a tennis match. Miami had all the momentum a couple weeks ago, Georgia is picking up steam and may have taken the lead, but Miami feels they are still very much alive. It doesn’t seem like Oregon is a huge threat.

- Some other names Miami is working hard as the focus shifts back to recruiting: WR Calvin Russell (Northwestern), WR Vance Stafford (Orange County, CA), OL Canon Pickett (Tampa), DE Asharri Charles (Venice, FL), and S Blake Stewart (Atlanta).

- One sneaky retention we haven’t talked about- OL Tommy Kinsler (Ocala, FL). He had a great spring.

"Nothing more"? The nickle is very important…Probably will be on the field at least 60% of time, maybe more, at least a 5th DB, whether that's the #1 nickle, a time share, a 3rd safety or whatever.

People are worried about him getting cooked on the boundary, that’s what I was referring too. I don’t see him playing there

Ya fair enough, I don't either…He's not needed there and we have AT LEAST 3 better options (although the ankle could have really hampered him last year)

This statement I don’t understand, a player who Hetherman coached at a position of need.

- The Canes are also in a strong spot for LB Mohamed Toure (Rutgers). He was previously coached by Miami DC Corey Hetherman and was one of the best LBs...

Either he only has 1 leg or we are now flat broke this year.

Because Penn State you could make a case as favorites to win it all

I really don't have a side. Haven't commented on Scott at all because I really dont care about an 8th DB acquisition. I do, however, know full well that posing any type of contradiction to the machine ruffles cis feathers. Good luck on your journey.

If you made any compelling/convincing points, no feathers would ever be ruffled.

Man do you think its ever gonna click for him? (pancake) I swore he was gonna be next up.

I don’t know.

He’s competitive, but he’s gotten beat by Kinsler who’s better than he is physically.

I hope he gets rewarded for his hard work, but it probably won’t be here.

Seems like just yesterday we "turned away" Flowers because we were all set on DBs.

You know it's about more than a number, right? Year of enrollment and NIL cost also factor in.

It's not as overly-simplistic as you make it out to be.

This one paragraph started 6 pages of what us CIS members have to deal with every day.

Half of the crowd is in an uproar because DMoney gives us honest information and even points out "moving outside and struggling" and says "NFL upside 'IF' he regains form with his old coach"

This guy might not even end up on our team and half of the board has already written him off.

I'm neutral on all information given and I do my own research. To go after a guy who runs a site to provide us fans with as much info as possible is a ridiculous flex.

They were so thin at corner they couldn’t move him back over to nickle?

I shouldn’t keep responding to this, but the last line of my Ny Carr post when he left was, “This is a player I would target if I were another team.”

When I said the freshmen outplayed him in spring, that was true. But he still had a ton of upside. The big thing with him is getting stronger and more durable.

If the freshman out played him and he don’t see the field much seems like we’re just holding on to someone for nothing . He will transfer he don’t showed us that

What has changed in the last few days (or weeks) that we’ve been and staff has been confident. He hasn’t even visited UGA yet and didn’t we just have Mirabal visit? UGA leads before the visit and committing after the visit? Sounds like we’re cooked

You’re talking about 4 stars that the media and the staff has invested heavily in. Y’all have spent years hyping up Carr and Patterson, so of course you wouldn’t dump on them. But a guy like Karnley? Sure. A JUCO who cost you a couple wins vs your biggest rival (Bama) because of muffed punts? Sure. A SR DB who was getting passed up for younger talent? Sure.

Btw, Carr will be back in the portal next year. He’d still be in there if he knew there were 2 other WRs coming in after the portal closed lol.

U must be a female? We get it! You don't like the take. What more do you want?

I like the nickel pickup. 1 year deal.

They realized the mistake post spring game of trying to shoehorn Brantley there and have tried to fix it with this guy.

What I don't like is that comment of pushing one of the DE's inside for the season. Keep them at DE

- Goldberg
- Shawn Michaels
- Hulk Hogan
- Vince McMahon
- Triple H
- Ric Flair
- Eric Bishoff
- Dean Malenko

All of'em.

If he's not crying about someone who allegedly hurt him in ring, he's burying people that he believes ruined his career.
