@DMoney in the 2/18 Bank

There is a lot of confidence in the linebacker board. Miami is in great communication with Kaden Henderson (Tampa, FL), Jalaythan Mayfield (Charlotte, NC), and Aroson Randle, Jr. (Raleigh, NC). They also continue to work on Ohio State commit Quinton Cypher (Raleigh, NC). I'd expect us to take three here. ​

Thread 'The Bank (2/18)'

Feb 18, 2026

We're a few weeks away from spring unofficial visit season, which will kick recruiting into a new gear. Here's the latest I'm hearing:

- I don't expect this class to be as large as last year. It may be closer to 20 players than 30. The staff wants more natural attrition than forced roster movement, and they trusts their evaluations of the players already on the roster. The early returns on the 2027 class look strong.

- While he's picked up Oregon buzz, I expect Miami to make an aggressive run at QB Will Mencl (Chandler, AZ). He's originally from Broward and is someone Miami...

@DMoney in the 3/4 Bank

The linebacker board remains stacked. Kaden Henderson (Tampa) visits tomorrow with family. AJ Randle (Raleigh, NC) is one of the most talented athletes in the class. The Canes remain in strong contact with JJ Mayfield (Charlotte, NC) and Noah Glover (DMV). Quinton Cypher (Raleigh, NC) is elite and Miami will keep trying to flip him from Ohio State. ​

The Bank (3/4)

Miami is gearing up for a huge recruiting event on 305 Day (March 5th), and the board is starting to clear up. Here are some names to watch as we gear up for a big spring: - The names to know at quarterback are Davin Davidson (Sarasota, FL), Will Mencl (Phoenix, AZ), Israel Abrams (Chicago, IL)...
