Jhavonte Dean update

Would be a huge, huge addition. And, here's why:

- It changes our flexibility with guys like Deejay Dallas, who could also play S or WR. I think Dallas is a DB, but others feel he should stay on offense. That'll need to get sorted out and it is much more difficult to do so if we simply lack talent/numbers at Corner.

- While I've read some say he'd replace Corn, I actually disagree. Corn's spot is for Malek. Some of you guys are severely underrating Malek Young and I'm not sure why. Even from just his True Frosh game-time, watch his feet, acceleration and attitude. He didn't get to show his ball skills, but they're there. Can't say he'll produce what a senior Corn Elder produced, but it won't be a dropoff that hurts us too much. I think you'll see Malek become more comfortable with some of the zone coverages where he initially seemed hesitant.

- Dean is a cover guy. Think of Redwine. Think of what Redwine brings to the table. Now think of the opposite. Dean has decent length. I think he's a field corner, but remember that matters less in what Diaz does. Everyone has to tackle anyway. That will be his test, but I'm glad the defensive staff is showing flexibility and open-mindedness because of Dean's ability to change direction and stick to receivers instead of the "everyone just has to hit" parameter.

- This may give us a chance to move Redwine to FS. I really wish Bandy were an EE, but we'll see how all the moving pieces shake out. Young, Dean, Michael Jackson and we still need 2 more.

Don't underestimate how important this is, folks. Serious ramifications for next year and beyond!

There are at least 7 SFLA 4 star CB's next year that we have a shot at...

Al Blades
Gilbert Frierson
Tyson Campbell
Patrick Surtain
Asante Samuel
DJ Ivey


It's boderline ridiculous.

All of them are better prospects than Chris Henderson. The only 2017 that would make that list is CB Trajan Bandy.

man, shows how bad the past staff was that Miami is in desperate need at CB and Wr. wtf.

im not sure Deejay will play defense but this kid is a huge get and we flipped him from Bama. (reporters will claim he was dropped lol)
we need 3-4 CB's this class. Young, Redwine, and maybe michael jackson are only ones who will play and do much.
at safety we are loading up. JJ is a stud, knowles can contribute. then we have wright, finley, amari, smith, gibson,etc. this defense
is loading up man. im excite.
 
its obvious that he can fly....i hope he has the physical part down..the only thing im questioning is how physical he is at corner

Billy Gibson just flipped the script - not even worried about that 1-He probably got his feelings hurt cuz he's not getting petted by the staff . Truth be known , MR probably is happy bout it too . Just opens up another slot for 1 **** of a close . This staff is all about business and **** , how refreshing is that ? This may push Edwards back our way as MR and staff really like him. Me too for that matter .

Boys the iron is hot and watch how this staff strikes the day dead period ends. They gonna be in Maryland to close out McFarland -Will cruise through VA to solidify Conliffe's OV-Will head on over to OKIE to offer that stud WR/TE and get his OV and shoot on up to Ill. to knock Lovie Smith out the box for Thomas and on way home stop by Bama and sell Bateman and his folks before he OV's.

Watch what I tell ya -Richt and some staff will end in the top 10 for recruiting and this class ends as a Grand Slam we been waiting on .Oh sht-forgot the stop in the Bayou to start putting the close on Smith-That's MR's boy right there I just see this 1 coming. Maybe Echols and his cuz to-IT'S ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frierson should be considered a star Safety prospect.

Look here -after MR does the **** thing to close this class out ,we kick *** and the ever love sht out those **** in HASSEE-That talent there and many others will be lined up to play for THE "U' again .Won't have to do near the chasing and scrambling after this class .
 
If he shows up and tackles, there's no way this dude doesn't start.
Think the best 4-5 start, which is why I think Redwine starts at Safety this year, and Bandy starts at Nickel.

CB: Dean > Ryan Mayes
S: Redwine > Romeo Finley
Nickel: Bandy > Deejay Dallas
S: Jaquan > Amari Carter
CB: Malek Young > Michael Jackson

Also really wouldn't be surprised to see Jaquan play some nickel this year if Redwine is moved to safety or Finley/Carter really step up. I just think the positions may be a little interchangeable and the best 5 will see the field a lot.
