I know we're in portal Rush Week, so maybe ya'll table this discussion until next week, but do we know the '23 big board for: OL/DL/DBs?? QB/RB/TE/LB seem to have smaller list of guys we're zeroing in on, but over the last two months we've had tons of OL/DL/DB's visit, so was just wondering if we kinda know the direction/ranking our staff has for those groups?

Here's what I see, based on visits, top lists, and info on 247 indicating mutual interest:

QB - Jade Rashada, Dante Moore
RB- Cedric Baxter
WR - Robby Washington (committed), Lamar Seymore (committed), Brandon Innis, Jalen Brown, Hykeem Williams, Nathaniel Joseph, Andy Jean
TE - Jaxon Howard (maybe a DE recruit), Riley Williams, Jelani Thurman, Jackson Carver
OT - Frankie Tinilau (committed), Francis Mauigoa, Chase Bisontis, Cayden Green, Monroe Freeling, Olaus Alinen, Payton Kirkland, Johnny Williams IV, Logan Howland
IOL - Antonio Tripp (committed), Madden Sanker, TJ Shanahan, Clay Wedin, Knijeah Harris, Nathan Efobi, Landen Hatchett, Johnathan Cline

DL - David Hicks, James Smith, Derrick LeBlanc, John Walker, Rueben Bain, Jordan Hall, Darron Reed, Connor Knight
Edge - Samuel M'Pemba, Jayden Wayne, Chandavian Bradley, Jaquavious Russaw, Damon Wilson, Bai Jobe
LB - Bobby Washington (committed), Anthony Hill, Malik Bryant, Lewis Carter, Raul Aguirre, Andrew Harris, Tony Rojas, Michael Harris, Stanquan Clark, Ronan Hanafin
S - Derek Williams, Joenel Aguero, Daemon ***an, Kelton Henderson, TJ Metcalf
CB - Cormani McClain, Malik Muhammad, Robert Stafford, Damari Brown, Antonio Robinson

P - Declaun Duley
LS - Aiden Arias

Recruiting is fluid, and this list changes every day. There are 25 other guys I could put up here, but I think this is pretty close for today.

I think they are. Jasiah Wagoner, Kayin Lee, and Avery Stuart are out-of-state 4-stars who are in the picture; they just haven't visited (at least not in a way that's publicly known). Daniel Harris from Gulliver Prep has UM in his top group. Ja'Keem Jackson from Kissimmee is rising. Depending on how big you make the board, these guys are on it. There's also the Roman Rashada situation.

I figured we had to have an expansive OOS board. The Jackson kid is intriguing. That Harris family are đź—‘ so I don't see that happening. It'll be the most interesting position group to monitor IMO for recruiting.

There's also a CB from Hollywood named Luke Evans. He was on campus recently, but he did not get an offer.

End of June update, after a busy month. Just a snapshot in time:

QB - Jaden Rashada (committed), Emory Williams
RB- Cedric Baxter, Christopher Johnson
WR - Robby Washington (committed), Jalen Brown, Hykeem Williams, Nathaniel Joseph, Andy Jean, William Fowles, Lamar Seymore
TE - Jackson Carver (committed), Reid Mikeska (committed), Riley Williams
OT - Frankie Tinilau (committed), Francis Mauigoa, Samson Okunlola, Monroe Freeling, Olaus Alinen, Payton Kirkland, Logan Howland
IOL - Antonio Tripp (committed), Madden Sanker, Connor Lew, Johnathan Cline

Ath - Nyckoles Harbor

DL - David Hicks, James Smith, Derrick LeBlanc, John Walker, Rueben Bain, Jordan Hall, Darron Reed, Sydir Mitchell
Edge - Samuel M'Pemba, Jaquavious Russaw, Jayden Wayne, Damon Wilson, Bai Jobe, Jaxon Howard, Collins Acheampong
LB - Bobby Washington (committed), Anthony Hill, Malik Bryant, Raul Aguirre, Ta'Mere Robinson, Derion Gullette, Andrew Harris, Stanquan Clark, Michael Harris
S - Joenel Aguero, Derek Williams, Avery Stuart, Jayden Bonsu
CB - Cormani McClain, Kayin Lee, Robert Stafford, Sharif Denson, Damari Brown, Jaylon Braxton

P - Declan Duley
LS - Dominic Diaz
K - Grant Reddick, Tyler Patterson

Observations - CB board got stacked, DL & LB boards look full but w/o commits (except 1 LB), IOL board thinning
It's great to be a Miami Hurricane!
 
The Safety board looks desolate. Especially if it's true that Joenel Aguero is trending away. Derek Williams committed to Texas. Avery Stuart (CB/S) is committing next week without visiting us. That really just leaves Jayden Bonsu.
A few other targets on the radar are Kenton Kirkland (attended Legends Camp), Bryce Thornton (OV'ing on 9/24), Makari Vickers (if you consider him a safety), Daemon ***an (I guess), TJ Metcalf, and Jayden Davis (Louisville commit). We will have to see things heat up with one or two of these guys in the next month or two.

I think we fall back to the St Thomas Aquinas pair if we lose out on Joenel and Bonsu.

It seems like Mario has never been high on King Mack, who to me is all-time, first-team Take On Name Alone. The Penn State site on On3 thinks he's close to committing there.
You think Hussey is flippable?

I think we can if we push but i think they feel good about Joenel and Bonsu. Both OV'd so we in it. They would have all season to seek alternatives if one or both go elsewhere

We can remove Sanker from the IOL list.

Tricked me for a second. I thought you meant 2023. But you're counting his closing of the 2022 class, too.

Believe it or not, Manny did that in 2021/202 with LT, JW, Garcia, Tae, Chantz and Knighton. And Chaney was 114. Covid helped a ton. But he did pull it off. Thank god, as Mario had a few bullets left in the chamber and didn't have to go all-out-MSU in the portal.

Your point was that Mario is one of the GOAT P5 recruiters. And that's going to be proven x100 over the next few weeks and months.
