That's a lot of bags to fight off.

Yup. Another SEC type player that we won't get.

That’s how it is if Miami wants to ever be a top 5 recruiting class. Need to win these.

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

Make a statement. Go all out to land him (and Russell) early. No more of this "we'll flip him later" bull****.

Miami has a good chance. Mom is in charge.

Yes

Does Mom like Dennis Smith? Or is Mario going solo on this one?

I mean we just had a top 5 class in 2024, we know how the game is now with bags

Plus we had a significantly better offense than all of those teams this year except for Ohio state at times
