The Branch Brothers are visiting Miami today

The Holiday dead period is now over, and the Miami Hurricanes have some big-name visitors on campus. USC transfers WR Zachariah Branch and S Zion Branch are in Miami today.

The 5'10, 175-pound Zachariah is one of the most dynamic players in the country, with a 10.33 100M, 21.01 200M, 24-0 long jump and 46-4.25 triple jump. He was an All-American punt returner as a freshman with two TDs, and amassed 47 receptions, 503 yards and a TD this season as a receiver.

His brother Zion is a 6'2, 210-pound safety who made 15 tackles with 3 passes deflected and a sack in 2024. He missed 2022 with an injury from fall camp. He was also injured late in 2023, which ended that season.

The brothers were the first college football players to sign an NIL deal with Jordan Brand. They have NFL royalty in their family, as their great uncle is Raiders legend Cliff Branch. In their free time, the brothers created the Branch Out Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting youth initiatives including homelessness, after-school programs, health and wellness as well as other charitable causes.

Maiava. People thought there was a good chance he’d enter but if he hasn’t submitted paperwork like USC insider said it’s done. I believe yesterday was the last day so we’ll know for sure tomorrow.

The thing that makes mad is that Wario has a fetish for the impossible/complicated situations.

You had plenty of options available that were the same or better than Maiava and infinitely better than Emory but that ******* bum stayed put.

Again: QB recruting strategies have been more than suspect with Wario at the helm.

Yeah, it is clear they believed lightning would strike twice with Mateer. It almost didn't strike once with Ward, so I'm ****ed they decided to rinse and repeat that ****. Why didn't wse close with Mendoza when we could have is baffling. If we're still shopping for QBs in a couple of weeks, that will be a major fail.

And he might be on strike 2 if Maiava doesn’t enter.

Amateur hour.
