Three-star Carol City prospect Randy Russell has decommitted from Miami.

Miami got the sense early this week that Russell was set to decommit after visiting UF last weekend. Russell was communicating to the UM staff during the weekend that he was 'solid' in his commitment, but that tune changed when he returned. He was a player that the Miami defensive staff loved as a box safety and thumper, but a source said that they will not re-recruit and fight to keep him. Russell is expected to land at Florida.

So where does Miami go from here at DB in 2018? Well for one, they are completely content with keeping Josh Jobe and Gurvan Hall as the two safeties in the class. I'm hearing that an offer is set to come Nigel Bethel, Jr.'s way very soon at the cornerback position. He is a prospect that UM desperately wants in the class and Russell's decision now gives them the flexibility to do just that. Again, Miami did not drop Russell at all. Miami is recruiting both Tyson Campbell and Al Blades, Jr. at cornerback as well, with D.J. Ivey already in the fold. Canes commit Gilbert Frierson also has the skill set to play safety if the coaches want.

...and I got an infraction cause I said he wouldn't stick in the thread were he committed. his commitment was just a placeholder for him. he was playing us all along.
 
Pete, I know it was asked about in the other thread, but does this affect Cam at all?

It had nothing to do with jobe and Hall and Amari carter being much better than him right ?

Best thing to happen!!! all we want and need is jobe and hall .. they are the future ...good luck russel , go play at UF and beat fsu ... its ok

all praise to jobe and hall ... lets go !!
 
****! I really liked this kid and his aggressive style of play. Sounds like one of those who didn't feel he could compete with the players we have coming in. My understanding is that Nigel Bethel is why the staff wasn't willing to fight to keep Russell.
