D$'s Predictions [aka the Vault]

[lindend]

We both think that [ Josiah "Big Cat" Thompson ] will end up as Miami Hurricane. @Peter Ariz "I feel strongly about that...parents were down here with him..they see the size and movement ability".

 

[lindend]

Priority number #1 is the best defensive player in the portal. Miami's #1 target, great chance that Miami gets this one [ Damon Wilson ] done.

1/13	I previously thought Josiah "Big Cat" Thompson (South Carolina) would be in this class, but it appears we may be moving in another direction

Thread 'The Bank (Offensive Edition) 1/13'

Jan 13, 2026

We talked about the defense yesterday, but here is the latest on Miami's offensive strategy in the Transfer Portal.

- I don't get the sense it's Ty Simpson or bust. They are working multiple angles at quarterback and it's obviously the main focus other than winning the sixth national championship. I'm expecting the unexpected.

- I previously thought Josiah Thompson (South Carolina) would be in this class, but it appears we may be moving in another direction. One possibility is adding a guard and moving Matt McCoy to tackle.

- The expectation remains that...

All indications are that Darian Mensah will be a Miami Hurricane.

I think we'll get Damon Wilson...I've never strayed from [this opinion]....that's the latest I've understood.

1/21	One of the best receivers in the country. At the buzzer, I like the Canes [for Cooper Barkate].

Thread 'DE Damon Wilson II commits to Miami'

Jan 22, 2026

Miami has landed one of the top defensive prospects in the portal cycle, securing the commitment of Missouri edge Damon Wilson II.



The Hurricanes beat out Texas Tech, LSU and Ohio State for the top-10 overall portal prospect, bringing the Florida native back to the Sunshine State.

Listed at 6-foot–4 and 250 pounds, the rising senior spent two years at Georgia before his breakout 2025 season — where he racked up 9 sacks, 23 total tackles and 2 forced fumbles.



He fits the style of DC Corey Hetherman as an aggressive down field rusher...

Lennear, Matthews and Johnson Cook seem like the most likely. Maybe we get a surprise and flip Jacobs? Gotta think we get a 5* on the DL somewhere whether it's Jacobs. Brewster, or KJ Green.

Amir Sears, Brysen Wright if he reclassifies. Kaden Henderson.

Johnson-cook isn’t a 5. At least not yet. I do think we get a 5 along the DL though, maybe two.

Would think based on who is in attendance it would be Gourdine. Wishful thinking is we get an announcement that Sears reclassed and is committing but I will be very happy to add Gourdine also.

If Sears were to reclassify and commit, I doubt Dmoney would be mentioning anything. My guess is Gourdine
