We talked about the defense yesterday, but here is the latest on Miami's offensive strategy in the Transfer Portal.
- I don't get the sense it's Ty Simpson or bust. They are working multiple angles at quarterback and it's obviously the main focus other than winning the sixth national championship. I'm expecting the unexpected.
- I previously thought Josiah Thompson (South Carolina) would be in this class, but it appears we may be moving in another direction. One possibility is adding a guard and moving Matt McCoy to tackle.
- The expectation remains that Mark Fletcher, Jr. returns to school. If he does, I wouln't anticipate major changes in the running back room.
- Both receiver commits (Vandrevius Jacobs and Cam Vaughn) appear locked in despite the uncertainty at quarterback. The staff is ecstatic about both.
- I expect Miami to continue to monitor the Portal for an impactful TE. While a pure blocking TE is an option, don't be surprised to see even more unbalanced lines to take advantage of the Canes' deep stable of young offensive linemen.
- The early freshmen arrivals look the part. One source said, "I'm glad Somourian Wingo is on scout team and not on Indiana." He's had some big days. Some other names mentioned were Jackson Cantwell, Keyshawn Stancil, Camdin Portis, and JJ Dunnigan. "These guys look freakier than the guys preparing to play for a national championship."
