  • Wasn't liking the situation a few weeks ago, but Miami making recent moves in this recruitment


Jasen “JRoc” Lopez vs Vance Spafford

  • Staff has Spafford higher on the board than Lopez.
  • Rasta points out Spafford is much faster and Canes have been missing on the difference makers
  • Flo says its real close and if its close, you go with the local from the pipeline school.
  • Lopez more athletic than what people credit him for.
  • Flo thinks staff isn't going all out for Lopez and they should be
  • If we miss on Lopez, he's probably going to make us pay every time we play his team

Tristen Keys vs Calvin Russell

  • Keys is a much more polished route runner. Russell has a much higher ceiling (if realized)
  • Possible scenario.
    • Year 1: Keys gets playing time, Russell red shirts
    • Year 2: Keys gets significant playing time. Russell plays a little
    • Year 3: Russell is doing things Keys could never do
  • Flo feeling better about the Russell recruitment after the BBall offer
Flo thinks we can get one in each category but not both.

Flo doing a big recruiting show at Thursday at noon Eastern.

Got to get Lopez hes a must get in my book one of tho Restrepo types dudes gonna work hard an do everything right! He should be a priority recruit. If the number is goin up to 105 take em all! Sure all of em wont come but they should all be recruited hard imo. You can let Lopez leave tho you just cant!

There was a Louisville receiver a couple years back from south Florida and who was ignored as a recruit by Miami because he was too small. Dude terrorized Miami every time we played them. Got the feeling Lopez is going to do the same if we don’t find a way to get him in the class.

Mark Wahlberg (known OSU fan) recently dropped off a big NIL bag for Smith. New deal between Smith and Wahlberg's Auto Group.

Yeah I saw that, add it to the list. He's got Nintendo, Lululemon, Red Bull, and I'm sure several others. He's the best player in the country. He should be the highest paid. Prying him from Taint was always going to be next to impossible.

in this day and age, what high end WRs need to wait until year 3 before showing out?

But everything else equal, I want the guy who can come in and make a difference. Maybe not to the extent that Jeremiah Smith, but maybe Ryan Williams v2 or that kid that went to Clemson.

I say try and bring in both 100. I rather get both of those cats and let both the other two go if thats the result.

What do you say when Keys and Russell ask “Who is gonna be the quarterback in 2026?”.

Carson Beck might throw for 4000 yards and 40 touchdowns but he won’t be throwing for Miami in 2026. I think we need a nickel to win the QB2 job and gets enough playing time to prove he’s the real deal.
