Four confirmed flip targets from the March 13, 2025 Bank

Two potential targets for a flip: four-star Mississippi State commit Emanuel Tucker (New Albany, MS) and Louisville commit Joel Ervin (Fort Myers). Miami is very high on the upside of both.​

With the team off for spring break, the staff is even more locked in on recruiting. Here are some names to monitor as business begins to pick up:

- Miami is aggressively pursuing offensive linemen in this class, which they believe is the best in years. This includes high-profile uncommitted targets (Jackson Cantwell, Keenyi Pepe) and flips. Two potential targets for a flip: four-star Mississippi State commit Emanuel Tucker (New Albany, MS) and Louisville commit Joel Ervin (Fort Myers). Miami is very high on the upside of both.

New flip target from @DMoney in the March 23, 2025 Bank

One name Miami would love to flip- Michigan commit CB Brody Jennings (Mandarin). He has real interest.​

Thread 'The Bank (3/24)'

Miami has been hosting a parade of big-time kids on campus this spring. Here is the latest on some top targets:

- As first reported on the CanesInSight podcast this morning (and later confirmed by on3's Steve Wiltfong), Miami is surging for #1 overall player OT Jackson Cantwell (Nixa, MO). He had a great unofficial visit last week and likes the Coral Gables lifestyle. More importantly, he has strong relationships with Miami's OL staff and believes in their development plan. It will be a battle with Georgia, Oregon and others, but this is a real situation.

- One player on flip watch...

Flip related news from @DMoney in the March 28, 2025 Bank.

Miami is in a very good place with CB Jontavius Wyman (Atlanta). There is a very real chance he flips from Georgia​
​
There have been reports identifying LB JaMichael Garrett (Auburn, AL) as a possible Miami commit, but I do not expect Miami to go in that direction.​

Thread 'The Bank (3/28)'

Miami is hosting its biggest recruiting weekend of the year, as detailed by @Sebastian Font here. Below is the latest I'm hearing about the class:

- This a huge weekend for offensive linemen, with Keenyi Pepe (IMG), Breck Kolojay (IMG), Chancellor Campbell (St. Petersburg), Canon Pickett (Tampa), Joel Ervin (Fort Myers), Tommy Tofi (San Francisco), Da'ron Parks (Sarasota) and others. All of the names listed are takes. One undercover name to add to the board alongside Ryan Miret (Southridge) at center: Rhys...

...is Devin Jackson out of First Academy in the Orlando area. I expect Miami to be a major player here. CanesInSight first reported a month ago that he was a flip candidate, and he just announced his decommitment from Florida:



Jackson is a high-end athlete with verified testing numbers and CB/S versatility. At a recent Under Armour camp, he checked in over 6'2, 192 pounds with a 4.53 forty, 4.18 shuttle, 33.8 vert and 9-7.9 broad.





Jackson visited spring practice in Coral...

99.999% chance Mario gets him to visit silently. But of course, we'll never know until unless and until he flips. As UGA learned w/Cantwell, the loafers work in silence.

Think the smart move here is to not waste the resources here and lock down the rest of the class. This is a stretch and we learned last year that even with a great recruiter, flips are not a winning strategy. The OL class in state is particularly strong this year as well and now we have the anchor of all anchors in Cantwell.

This may be personal between Mario and Riley. Riley has proven that he struggles with keeping recruits late in the cycle.

Mario picked multiple U$C commits he wanted to flip prior to Cantwell (most likely due to need and likelihood of flipping) and I doubt that strategy has changed.

Im not splurging or wasting resources but if Riley and SC have another bad season and the locals start calling for his job Pepe will be doubling back. I mean what else is he supposed to say? I would definitely stay in contact. Now because of our current OL class Mario doesn't have to
full court press, but Im all for token pressure.
