LWS Recruiting/Portal Space update w/ @Geo305 and Njalik's Mom



Scott

Miami was in the driver's seat up to the summer visit
Expectation was that both Scott & Riley would commit the same week
A few weeks ago, Scott reached out to the staff, was having second thoughts
People knew Scott wanted to be in Miami

Stewart

Miami still recruiting him
NIL complications here
Miami in the thick of this recruitment

Portal QB

Miami interested in Howard and Rogers
Rogers interest is mutual
They may be interested in Shapen
A LOT of teams will be going after Ward and he's not officially in the portal yet
USC & Oregon will be after Ward in addition to Washington
Miami not pursuing Riley Len
Geo thinks McCall is the best QB currently in the portal (Geo has no info if Miami is recruiting him)

Jeremiah Smith

FSU positioned well here
As of now, Geo doesn't think Miami flips him but anything could happen in final 3 weeks

Portal WR

Miami may take one WR from the portal


Portal DL

Miami looking at a lot of players, DT is at a premium
Miami interested in Peebles, Cook, Jones (NC)
Mario has been recruiting Jones since Oregon

Portal OL

Miami looking at 1-2 players on OL from the portal

Jacurri

Unknown what happens after bowl game

Portal S

Expectation that Kam and James are gone
Miami will be targeting Dunham

2024 Class Size

If a difference maker is available, they will take them. Numbers won't limit them

Lyle

Having a huge senior season
Recruitment very similar to Fletcher. Senior film blown the staff away
Been to almost all the home games (although secret visitor to most of them)
Miami believes they can flip him

Recruits Being Processed

Staff is open when they're moving on. They come out and tell them. They don't ghost kids like other staffs

Hayes

Hayes has visited Miami both publicly and privately
Bama after Hayes too
Telling UF coaches he'll stick
Wouldn't be shocked if he visits again

Blount

Miami still pushing for a flip

Mincey

Miami recruiting him as a CB

McCray

Doesn't expect him in the class. Miami still trying to flip

Lucas

FSU involved here
Miami is working on a visit

December visits

Names in last group of visits will be closely guarded

 

[Damiencane86]

Mostly very good update minus FSU being positioned better for JS. My best guess on the high school side is we land Mincey and flip both Lyle & Blount.

Jeremiah is not going to FSU.

Don’t know why this is but for whatever reason I don’t buy FSU being the main threat to flip Smith. I think Mario would sooner die than let that kid sign with Florida State. If he flips it will be to his hometown. Also, would absolutely love to land Stewart. South Carolina is going nowhere fast and they have severely underutilized Nyck Harbour

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Meh…

Mincey isn’t a CB to me

Once Cam throws his hat in the portal, you have to shoot your shot

I need Lyles in this class mann

Portal CB isn’t being talked about enough

He's already come out and said his last visit will be to FSU the weekend before ESD.

Agreed on Mincey but you still have to take a talent like him. He either works out as a boundary corner or moves to safety, his more natural position.

 

[Tony4Canes]

Nice thanks doing these updates

 

[cane3636]

#followthevisits

I still don’t really care how many times he visits there. Won’t go there

 

[Caneslock]

He's already come out and said his last visit will be to FSU the weekend before ESD.

#followthevisits

He's visiting there next weekend, ESD is on 12/20. He has an open weekend prior to ESD

Still mind boggling. Home team, nope. Play with his buddies, nope. How about free shoes, I'm listening.

Oh yeah absolutely take him, without a doubt

Harbor is playing WR for them if you didn't know. Its what he wanted

 

[Canes Legacy]

@lindend appreciate you!

 

[Cribby]

“ Complications “ means he’s all bout NiL and his price is pretty steep. Thats never changed.

 

[cane3636]

Harbor is playing WR for them if you didn't know. Its what he wanted

Yeah I saw, watched a couple games of theirs. That’s a fact that he requested to play WR? I think he can play like 5 positions but he should be a DE or Flex TE

“ Complications “ means he’s all bout NiL and his price is pretty steep. Thats never changed.

Hope we got a Christmas bonus to send his way. Not just a jelly of the month subscription.

 

[cane3636]

“ Complications “ means he’s all bout NiL and his price is pretty steep. Thats never changed.

there’s no doubt the kid is elite, but Miami is also pretty stacked at defensive end.

Jayden Wayne
Rueben Bain
Akheem Mesidor
Nyjalik Kelly
Marquis Lightfoot
Elias Rudolph
Booker Pickett Jr.

Regardless I’d love to have Stewart and save him from South Carolina

 

[Cookie917]

Yeah I think when he was being recruited most wanted him on the DL and he wanted a shot on offense. SC clearly gave it to him and kept their word. Dude was also very serious in track as well which I again think played a factor.
