**The latest from a source close to the Tyrique Stevenson recruitment suggests that Georgia and the Southridge star are not on the best of terms right now. If you thought this saga was over, it seems to be just beginning. Just like over the spring and fall, the 4-star DB has continued to visit Miami heavily throughout the season and the Canes have held steady in Stevenson’s mind. So yes, any bad news for UGA is good news for UM, as this has mostly been a two-horse race up to this point.
However, Miami has already been high up in Stevenson’s picture, so I think this news most benefits a third program that can make a real jump into Stevenson’s top group. Now that the door has been cracked a bit, watch out for a program like the Crimson Tide to become more involved, as Bama has been hanging around the fringes of this recruitment for a while now waiting for an opportunity like this. Stevenson is planning on attending the Miami-FSU game on Saturday.
**As he told us on the podcast three weeks back, Mark-Antony Richards will be visiting for the Miami-FSU game this weekend and he further confirmed that with us last night. This will not be Richards’ first time witnessing the rivalry, as he attended Canes-Noles back in 2016 as well, and he expects the environment to be “electric” in this year’s version. Richards also confirmed that he has set his Auburn official visit for November 2nd weekend for when the Tigers take on Texas A&M. Although I’m still comfortable with my UM pick here, I have said recently that Auburn should be considered a real threat to take Richards out of South Florida and I continue that stance.
**As he reported on his Twitter late last night, 5-star WR target Jadon Haselwood has decommitted from the Georgia Bulldogs. Soon after the announcement, a few CB’s came in for Miami and Oklahoma. Despite this, a source close to the Haselwood recruitment confirmed that no commitment is imminent and those picks are simply guesses.
This is still a developing situation for Haselwood and his camp, and it will take at least a few days for things to start to clear up. However, there's no argument that the timing could not be better and you have to like the position Miami is in right now with Haselwood set to be on campus for his official visit and the Miami-FSU game this weekend. Miami made a big impression on him when he visited for Paradise Camp and another huge weekend for Miami could really make things even more interesting. Still, an official decision won’t come at least until after Haselwood takes an official visit to Auburn, which has yet to be set up but is in the works.
**Name to know for 2020: LB Antoine Sampah. Miami is currently in the process of evaluating Sampah, a 5-star prospect from Woodbridge (VA). The 6’3”, 220 pound linebacker is a devastating hitter and goes full speed 100% of the time to punish his opponent. Sampah has an impressive early offer list indicative of a true blue-chip recruit, as he claims verbal scholarships from the likes of Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Penn State.
**Name to know for 2021: WR Romello Brinson. A source close to Hecht confirmed Miami is close to offering Brinson, a 6’2”, 170 pound receiver prospect from Miami Northwestern. Miami loved his camp performances over the off-season (especially at Paradise) and Brinson has continued that momentum into his sophomore season on the field. Brinson plans to be in attendance for Miami-FSU this weekend and also sports early offers from FAU, Syracuse, and Toledo.
**Miami-FSU weekend is always a huge recruiting event and draws a large amount of top talent. Since last night and into the morning, guys like WR TJ Jones, S Cornelius Nunn, TE Larry Hodges, CB Damarius Good, QB Greg Spann, LB Devon Betty, OG Laurence Seymore, and WR Kahlil Brantley have confirmed their attendance with CIS and have been added to our running list that you can find *here*.
