Is the Cayden Baker kid a for sure take on the OL? Because hes in that image that Denis and Walker have posted. Only reason I'm asking is because I just havent heard his name much aside from that image. But hes also on commit watch according to the saturday thread on here.

Baker is on watch Walker and Denis commitments now, an if Miami has room he is a signing week commitable offer.

You really penciling Walker into our class? We're having to take in such large quantities, particularly at defensive line because Kool for two straight cycles sucked at bringing in depth.

Coach Kool however did coach the crap out of the players we did have. Let's not get it twisted now he is the master of turning lumps of coals into diamonds.

Ok, so how does that relate to him sucking *** at recruiting and not leaving Miami with quality depth? Kool's a good D-line coach, but let's not act like he's turned every single project into a bonafide quality player (see Tyreic Martin).

Martin needed more time with Coach Kool, he wasn't finished cooking.

Manny singled out Jon Ford during a radio interview. Looks like he's a lock to start.

This is huge. Really Huge. Jon Ford has first round ability if the light comes on and he puts it all together. 6'5 300 and his quickness? Kool loved him so much he didn't see the need to recruit any other DTs that year. LOL. All he needed was Ford and he was good to go! Not smart of course but goes to show he loved Fords potential.

I like taking the 17 or so guys. I believe our biggest strengths is let the cream rise to the top. The guys who lack grit will transfer to the portal. It's easy to me. 2020 Needs to be paced however and we should have a truly balanced class.

We have had some very impressive talent on the dline since manny and co has been here. Many people gave them sh*t about not retooling the dline But man have they responded in a big way. And we got jaelan Phillips who is going to be in Miami’s strength and conditioning program next month. That kid is SCARY good and an elite level athlete. If all goes well he has top 5 pick ability in the draft
