This young man has impressive speed to power interior ability to collapse the pocket from the interior. Alister Vallejo is a 6'3" 300+lber that anchor the middle of a defense using both power and violent hands. I had hoped UM had jumped on him earlier before he committed Michigan, but there's a punchers chance to flip him. Michigan has log jam at dline, where as Miami could offer a quicker path to the field and we unfortunately have a more pressing need and UM's new defense fits him better than Michigan.

Per 247-
Potentially scheme-versatile iDL with dominant high school tape against solid comp. Projects as a quality high-major D-line piece who could develop into an NFL Draft candidate down the road.

Let's do it.

My point is Deion doesn't contact them. He sits around and puts out in social media and other sources, I ain't hard to find. Once a HS kid or the kids representation makes contact with them, he may recruit them half hearted. He gets flips because he's Deion and it works for him. They basically don't need a HS recruiting dept. They recruit transfers. They signed 7 HS players in his 24 class and 14 in his 25 class. He doesn't care to recruit HS. That's to much work.

Bama is also kicking the tires on this young man's recruitment. I still believe Miami should be the best flip landing spot for 2026 4* DTAlister Vallejo when he is ready to flip.

You're on a roll finding the DTs @Paranos. Flo said on his show yesterday that Miami wants him in this class and is working on the flip.

CANES LIVE TALK - RECRUITING



Flo feels that Mario is about to flip some recruits from some big boys.

Flo expects 1-2 decommits (one within the next couple of weeks). Sounds like kids getting processed based on Senior film.

New names that are flip candidates

Kosci Barnes

U$Ce trending in the wrong direction, monitor this recruitment, Miami working for the flip.


Alister Vallejo

Miami wants him in the class



Lekhy Thompkins

Nothing imminent, but likes Miami's trajectory

Xavier McDonald

Miami working on the flip, another...
  • Looking
 
Sounds like the initial check cleared from Michigan. Miami will have to add a NIL PlusUp signing bonus to get this flip done. Cultural for when comparing Ann Arbor to Miami, this young man is heading to a desert.
