Interesting Takes on the Final 2023 Recruiting Rankings

[lindend]

Now this is the type of disagreement I like to see.

• @Brooklyndee says we're likely going to finish with a top 3 class with a definite possibility of having the top class

2023 4* DL John Walker (Commits to UCF)

Walker's commitment date was known. The CB's didn't alert anyone to a public decision. I know one person here said a couple of weeks ago that Walker was still a target and Miami was in the mix despite the lack of news around him. I don't think the CBs had anything to do with it a "late push"...

• @LeedsCane says its looking like a Top 5 right now

I tried my best, there is very little I can do when it’s over the internet and he’s using a laptop. Trust me, this required a lot of patience and understanding from all parts involved. You want to contribute to a plane ticket so he can fly up here for the next one, by all means do so. Otherwise...

• @Cribby is slightly more tapered with his forecast. Says somewhere in the top 10 with top 6-8 the ceiling with a good season.

2023 - 4 Star Safety - Jayden Bonsu, NJ - Committing 08/14 @ 4pm

Yup been telling people too 12 finish. Top 5 was ridiculous to think. Don’t agree. 7-8 is the floor. The numbers just don’t add up. Based on how many recruits canes will sign (27-30) Miami would have to whiff on nearly every remaining blue chip to get to that 9-12 range.

• @IndayArtHauz with the outlier, says we will end up ranked higher than our recruiting class ranking

My Microwaved Take: UM Finishes with a Higher Ranking in Polls than in Crooting

I know, this breaks every conventional wisdom. It defies all expectations. "Mario is most proven as a recruiter!" You're upset, it's ok. You're slamming the keys, screaming "Inday, did you think about the first year bump?" "Or that we don't actually have a WR on scholarship?" Fair points, well...

What say you?

It’s too early. If we win, you will see a bunch of high-profile names in play.

Player rankings will change at least twice between now and NSD. 6 is ceiling imo.

 

[HTXCane]

I think Cribby said 7-8 which I agree with.

 

[JG13]

Top 3 after we beat A&M

6-8 is my ceiling off a good season. Still kinda early but that’s how I see it.

 

[bornagaincane]

Malik said top class

Thanks @HTXCane , you were right, with your reminder, I found his original prediction with matches what he just posted. OP updated

I think you are very good at keeping the expectations low. This is a sign of self awareness and experience. Nobody will be mad if we beat your predictions, and the opposite creates chaos.

A huge class could maybe catapult us into the top 5 , I’ll still ride with my original prediction of 6-8 off a good season even though it’s still early.

 

[Hurracanes]

If we have a good season, with a win in A&M or Clemson (essentially a program changing win), i think we can get top 3. I don't see that happening.

 

[gacaneaddict]

Quick count 16 top 50 recruits in 247 currently uncommitted. Miami currently sits 9th in rankings. Other teams will add recruits also, so when Miami adds Sampson O., and potentially adds M'Pemba, WR, etc... we could be anywhere 3-7 IMO.

 

[sstcane]

Some of our current 3* players may also have big Sr seasons and see a bump in ratings.

 

[Da Jumbo Mutombo]

If we beat Texas A&M and avoid any upset losses in the first 8 games, I say we finish with #3 class.

You guys don't feel it right now, but if Miami is kicking ***...like Mario says, there's nothing else like it. The hype and momentum will be insane.

"Other teams will add recruits also" is what people seem to not take into enough consideration. Not necessarily in this thread I mean when these talks come up anytime in general. Fans start adding up all the guys they think their team is getting and how that will pass other teams up, but fail to acknowledge that all the teams already ahead of them will be doing the same.

 

[CaneDog66]

We probably head into the season Top 8 then with the success of our team for 2022 (thinking 10-2), then I can see us creeping up to Top 6 by year’s end.

This. People are forgetting other schools will be adding highly rated kids.

I always said with the NIL and Mario will shoot us up around the second tier consistently. The UGA’s, Bama’s and Osu’s will always hover around tier one especially with how the system is set up.

 

[Josh]

it’s splitting hairs once you get to the very top of the recruiting rankings. Landing in the top 5-7 should be the goal and expectation every season if we want to get back to winning titles. As many have eluded to, a good season is what it will take to close with some of our top targets. beating one of A&M or Clemson would be huge

 

[Sugarcane521]

I've always said winning is your #1 recruiter. Do that and everything else falls in place especially with CMC

 

[mirvin88]

I'm riding with Bryant just because I'm delusional and want to believe. #1 here we come
