WR (1)
In a move that had been in the works for over a month, longtime Miami commitment Angelo Jean-Louis committed to Marshall on Tuesday. The Miami staff hadn’t expected AJL to qualify, but it’s just unfortunate that he couldn’t handle his business in Prep school because he is supremely talented.
Stacy Coley: I heard very good things about Coley's trip to Miami in early December and that he was very close to committing. Florida State is still very much near the top and the 'Noles will get a visit from him on January 11th.

Jaelen Strong: Sandland's JUCO teammate recently committed to Arizona State, but he is still planning a visit to Miami in January. Strong is a very talented option.
12/31: 20%
Levonte Whitfield: The former Miami commit and current 'Noles pledge told me last week that he would be visiting Miami on January 18th. Also told me that Miami coaches had been to his school twice in the last month to see him.
Jordan Cunningham: Possible back-up plan as of right now.

TE (3)
Sandland looks more possible.
Standish Dobard (commit): Visiting on January 18th. (100%)
Jeremy Kerr (commit): Despite FSU talk, his commitment to Miami seems firm. (85%)
Beau Sandland (commit) : In what could be the steal of the class, Miami was able to go across-the-country to sign the top JUCO TE in the class. Sandland has signed with Miami already and will arrive in January.

OL (3-4)
OL class is coming together very nicely.
Alex Gall (commit): Extremely strong commitment. Will visit on January 18th and is recruiting for the 'Canes. (100%)
Denver Kirkland: The percentage going down doesn't really mean anything catastrophic, but something that is lingering with Kirkland is a possible grades issue. He will visit USF on January 11th, Miami on the 18th, and TCU on February 1st.

Sonny Odogwu (commit): As expected, Odogwu committed to Miami on Friday after visiting two weeks ago. He was a personal favorite of Coach Kehoe and will enroll in January.
12/18: 60%
12/31: 100%
DT (1-2)
Keith Bryant: After feeling confident on Bryant about two weeks ago when he told me he was only ".1% unsure about Miami," I'm back to not feeling so good about him. Bryant told a source of mine last week that he was leaning towards Florida State. As of right now, he has no visit set to Miami, while he is set to visit Tallahassee on the 11th.

Al-Quadin Muhammad: This is shaping up to be the Tyriq McCord of last year's class. Miami has made a heavy push for Muhammad ever since his visit in early December. There seems to be some sort of holdup with his grades and Notre Dame, and Miami could turn out to be the beneficiary of that. He is done with his visits and will announce this upcoming Saturday at the Army All-American game. He has not visited Notre Dame.

As of right now he isn't planned to visit Miami, but says he might take a mid-week trip. I still expect him to visit on January 18th with Denver Kirkland instead of taking a planned USC trip.
