Kicking off a Key Recruit Thread for 26 recruits. List will build as priorities become clearer.

Note: I am NOT tracking every recruit with an offer. Just the serious candidates that the staff appears to be prioritizing.

Has to be in the top 10 for shortest commitments ever.

 
@DMoney from the 7/19 Bank

One thing to watch with the 2026 class is strong Miami ties. For example, OL Grant Wise (Pace), CB Camdin Portis (Charlotte) and OL Canon Pickett (Tampa) are legacies and OL Keenyi Pepe (IMG) is close to Francis Mauigoia.​

The Bank (7/19)

Miami suffered a setback on Wednesday with CB DJ Pickett’s commitment to LSU, but they continue to hone in on several key targets. - Despite recent LSU buzz, the Canes continue to feel confident in CB Jaboree Antoine (New Iberia, LA) heading into tomorrow’s announcement. Of course, this is...

@DMoney in the 10/24 Bank

- The staff is very excited about the 2026 class in the trenches. Some names to watch -- and this is by no means exhaustive -- are DT Vodney Cleveland (Birmingham, AL), IOL Breck Kolojay (IMG), OT Keenyi Pepe (IMG), IOL Canon Pickett (Tampa), IOL Ryan Miret (Miami Southridge), OT Jackson Cantwell (Nixa, MO) and IOL Grant Wise (Pace, FL). There are also some good RBs on the board, including Javian Osborne (Dallas, TX) and Tradarian Ball (Texarkana), both of whom will be in attendance on Saturday.​

Thread 'The Bank (10/24)'

Miami has a loaded visitor weekend coming up, so it's time to return to the Bank:

- There is more excitement around the receiver position than at any point this cycle. I believe the success of the offense is having an impact. Vernell Brown (Orlando) and Dallas Wilson (Tampa) remain major targets. Freshmen JoJo Trader and Ny Carr continue to push in practice and could be on the verge of a breakout.

- Miami is making very good progress with Gator commit CB Ben Hanks (Booker T). He remains the highest of priorities. ATH DJ Pickett (Riverview, FL) is...

Is it me or are OVs being scheduled a lot earlier this cycle?

@DMoney with the first listing of key recruits in the 26 recruiting cycle in the 1/31 Bank.

- An important part of the process is identifying the biggest priority targets. This list is not exhaustive, but I wanted to spotlight some of the names Miami will target aggressively. James Johnson (North Fort Myers) and Jaimeon Winfield (Dallas, TX via Mississippi) are two of the top targets at DT. At linebacker, the Canes love Izayia Williams (Orlando), Tyler Atkinson (Atlanta), Jordan Campbell (Carol City), Karon Maycock (Central) and Shadarius Toodle (Auburn commit from Mobile whose dad is a lifelong Canes fan). Derek Cooper (Chaminade) and Calvin Russell (Northwestern) are obviously major targets locally on offense. At cornerback, Jaelen Waters (Tampa) and Jordan Thomas (Bergen Catholic, NJ) are names to know. Chauncey Kennon (Sarasota) has not gotten a ton of Miami buzz publicly, but his mom is Sam Shields's cousin and he will be visiting officially. ​
​
- The staff loves the offensive line class and is aiming to sign the top class in the country. Some names to know include Grant Wise (Milton, FL, son of former Cane Ty Wise), Keenyi Pepe (IMG), Breck Kolojay (IMG) and Canon Pickett (Tampa). ​

Thread 'The Bank (1/31)'

The 2026 recruiting season is in full bloom, and that means The Bank is back. Here is the latest on our board:

- Miami will continue its aggressive pursuit of CB J'Vari Flowers (Northwestern) after his reclassification to the Class of '25. His speed is elite at corner and he's an instant-impact returner. The timing of his reclassification is not ideal, as Miami just invested heavily in overhauling its secondary with transfers. But they recognize Flowers's unique talent and want him to be a Hurricane. This battle is just beginning.
