2027 Kaden Henderson 5* LB from Tampa Jesuit

[Fightinibis]

This should be a recruitment we win.

We literally just beat the rest of his top 5. 3 of these schools directly; then, beat Kiffin’s most recent school in Ole Miss.

LSU is an unknown and are showing up too late to this recruitment to win imo. He said he was thinking of taking a mid-week visit to FSU before locking in a LSU OV.

Hetherman has been recruiting him for a while and he is good friends with Asharri Charles, Deanthony Lafayatte, and both of the Picketts.

Only matters if the biggest pay day isn’t the biggest motivator.

Need this dude, haven't had an impact backer like this that's this explosive in ages. Quick twitch and dynamic ash. He looks like that Perkins dude that went to LSU.

Calling on @Confidence1000 …things are spiraling out of control here tonight. You’re gonna have to bring Scott and the rest of the Wolfpack to handle this business:

If y'all think recruits simply go to the highest bidder normally and that's the most important factor y'all are trippin. But I'm used to it at this point. Brother when you speak on these high ranking recruits, normally speaking EVERYONE is the highest bidder and nil wise there's not a lot of differences. Those kids pay more attention to track records then the average middle of the pack kid does. Like us with offensive lineman or edges or portal qbs. I know y'all are being told how we just open up the wallet and go shopping. It's not accurate. Do we short people, no not at all. But there's definitely more money out there for most of these dudes then us. For us we want a blueprint observed here.

I was taking it from the standpoint that if we have the choice of going big for a DT or OL or a WR..history shows we do it. Who is our highest paid LB? Probably Wiley I would guess. Hey I’m just lowering my expectations is all I’m saying. I would hope to be wrong.

 

[Otiscane]

Watched this guys film, seems like they have him playing on the edge/in a pass rush role ALOT. Maybe Miami wants to put more money into a more traditional LB. That said, Jit flies around and hits **** on film...

 

[AkronCane]

You can’t spend your way to the top, have to build it brick by brick. Cocaine Lane will never be there long enough. College Football’s biggest D Bag will eventually wear out his welcome.

But that's not cause we haven't OFFERED LBs bags up there with the rest of them. We simply weren't the choice. The reason for that is because we haven't shown up until now that we're a legit destination for lbers to thrive. Now it's simply a timing thing. While heatherman is here(assuming two more seasons)kids know it's a good spot. Past that it's more of the prove it nonsense

With our without Henderson Miami will purchase a backer who will be a difference maker. Could be Henderson. Could be a portal kid. I trust this staff. But it’s easy to have ptsd. Especially with the previous 20 years of what we had to experience

Also, backer seems to be a very difficult position to project.
Remember when flow was Jesse Armstead?

 

[GOCANES05]

All these guys talk about playing on a championship team and playing early.

In my mind WHATS THE HOLD UP ????

I’m pretty confident in our chances for another shot at the title, then any SEC team.

Him and Mathew , I can’t figure this being a rocket science decision why ?

They have to hear others pitch and collect that bag, they hold the power not the other way around. Some guys have to claim their spot and some guys will always have a spot, this is one of those he will always have a spot so you have to wait it out.

I understand, just that Miami finally has a Championship team in all phases a monstrous selling point .
I remember years ago these same type kids would say Miami needs to win more to get me to have interest.
This had been achieved and another NC run is ever increasing for this year and we want certain players to fit in.
Now Mathew’s is quiet but some say he has a silent commitment with MC .
Also you would think the top 5 teams would have the pick of the litter but a kids like this LB can go to LSU and may be a 6 win team which is a mystery and not an NC team .

CRAZY

To me I always found that as something to say to get the interview over with, I think there is more to it in recruiting than those quick answers. And LSU selling that they have a real coach, I think most the top NIL teams offer around the same type of money. It will come down to the relationships with the staffs and parents and all that other stuff. I want Brewster in the class the most and there is buzz around him and florida

Yes! But film doesn’t lie with this kid

I’ll be honest, I’ve haven’t seen it.
But that’s been said about a lot of players when they go to the next level.
Even from college to nfl you can’t predict.
I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if most of the best nfl linebackers weren’t blue chip recruits.

We don't want him to make a decision right now. I said it last week, we weren't in the lead and we still aren't. I will never count Mario out, but I don't see this one happening.

Fred Warner - 3 star - 86
Jack Campbell - 3 star #119 ILB prospect
Devin Lloyd - 3 star #134 OLB
Devin Bush - 4 star #279 nationally
Zack Baun - 3 star #1039 nationally
Demario Davis - 3 Star
Bobby Wagner - 2 star
Cedric Gray - 3 star #810 nationally
Nick Bolton - 3 star #89 ILB Prospect
Tyrice Knight - 2 star on the composite

I just pulled the top 10 pff linebackers in 2025, and googled their recruiting rankings, so I would say you are 100% correct. The only one of the top 10 that was a blue chip was Devin Bush.

your posts are spot on about this. We finally made a run and looked like Miami. I don’t know if we will get Henderson but we will get big time players since we have shown we have a pulse again!

Yup LB is hard to evaluate the services are wrong a lot just like the NFL draft. You never know and these services are trash, happy as **** that Mario knows what talent is. He will whiff on evals it happens but when he finds one like Moten and hits, no one will care about the ranking. DOgs are dogs you just have to find them
