The Canes regained some momentum with the commitment of four-star WR Somourian Wingo.

The 6’2, 180-pound St. Augustine native chose the Canes over Florida, South Carolina and Alabama.

As a junior, Wingo caught 65 passes for 1,040 yards (16.8 YPC) and 12 TDs and led a St. Augustine team that went 11-2 and made the semifinals of Florida’s 4A playoffs.

Wingo is a multisport athlete, averaging 16.6 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 3.1 spg and 2.5 apg and a 53.19 in the 400M on the track.

Shannon Dawson and Kevin Beard have been leading the charge on the Wingo evaluation, as they value his ability to play outside and inside. He performed very well in front of the coaches at a July 2024 Miami camp, where he competed alongside Malachi Toney, Jaime Ffrench, Nick Lennear, Calvin Russell, Jayden Petit and others.

Wingo joins Vance Spafford and Tyran Evans in Miami’s WR class.

What Tyre Evans? Potential yay or nay?

Film is less impressive but he's a big body. Looks a little stiff to me. We'll see.

Had no idea. Looks like it was voted on a couple weeks ago.

FBS coaches vote unanimously to adjust sport's redshirt rule

FBS coaches voted unanimously Tuesday to adjust the redshirt rule to allow players to participate in up to nine games while preserving a full year's eligibility in the sport.

I'll be completely honest... NINE games is entirely too much.

It's honestly hilarious that the NCAA is so ******* useless that they have just given up. I think they are doing this **** on purpose so that it becomes so chaotic that the schools go crawling back to them and they can start their selective enforcement again.

I dont think its on purpose. I think they just realized (as did coaches and players), they just have no power at all. They lose basically any lawsuit.

I agree, but we're living in Bizarro World with College Football and Basketball.

Gilbert is a talented player, Lofton is a talented player, The guys we just brought in are talented players. Brock Schott is and was a talented player. Blocking is not about talented alone, that's why they haven't been playing and sat behind 87. Not blocking can get the QB killed or the RB hurt.

or a punter killed or punt blocked

Could Wingo have a better freshman year than Toney?

I can’t see it happening. Way too many hands gonna be touching the rock!

6 games would make way more sense, since that would be half of the season. And then post season play shouldn’t count. They always go too far, like the playoffs should be 8 teams but they make it 12 and now are debating for it to be 16

Ya, someone isn’t going to be happy in the end. Whatever. That’s why Mario and Beard get paid the big bucks. They have to figure it out

Exactly! Yet that is the dynamic of intense competition that makes Miami, Miami.

Toney
Barkate
Vaughn
Jacobs
Moore
Upshaw
Wingo
Paris
Evans
Spafford
That's a very talented WR group. For the sake of argument let's say that Evans, Paris and Spafford end up taking a redshirt. That leaves 7 very talented WRs competing for essentially 4-5 spots. Let the cream rise to the top.

Almost impossible assuming Toney and Burkate are healthy. Those two are gonna get a lot of targets.

I can't wait to see who are 3rd starting WR is (even though we'll likely play 6 or guys). The fight for playing time between Jacobs, Vaughn, Moore, Upshaw, Wingo, Parris, et al will be interesting.

No wonder JoJo left.... That's a lot of talent
