LWS Prospect Weekend Review Space w/ @Geo305



Nickel

All in w/Miami. Invested in Dawson
Some have concerns about UGA & $EC swooping in late, but Miami is all in.


Zion

Working out w/team, preparing for the Spring

RB

Louis

Board moving a lot, but one constant. Byron Louis
O$U and other out of state programs recruiting him hard, but Miami has done a great job
Originally told Geo he preferred to play out of state, no longer the case, Miami has made the right moves, jumped ahead

A-Train

Still on board, uber-productive, b2b player of the year

Other names

Ousmane Kromah (recently popped up)

RB Coach

Geo expects to see hire prior to Spring practice.
Dennis Smith in the running

Commitments

Ksani Jiles, not getting feedback this commitment is solid, comms not consistent
Unsure about reclassification

Waden Charles

Miami still recruiting him

WR Recruits

These are the names to focus on, at the top of the board (Geo's order)


Ffrench
Lockett
Mills
Wilson
Brown

Kaliq Lockett on campus this weekend, Miami will be recruiting him

Jaime Ffrench Jr.
Geo says he's much improved since last year
Miami making headway here, Geo says Miami in a very good spot here, Miami feeling good.
Some speculated that F$U in a good position here given his QB, but that assumption isn't accurate
Keep and eye on this one

Dallas Wilson

Oregon commit, going to be tough to get him to flip
Working on spring visit.

Mills

Very impressive for Raw
F$U has edge here, going to be tough to beat.

Naeshaun Montgomery

Didn't have a private visit w/Mario this last weekend.
Mario forming board early. Just because Miami isn't all in now, doesn't mean that won't change as board evolves
Miami will recruit, but not currently a priority

Vernell "Trey" Brown III

Not as explosive as Ray Ray
Is a priority

Tyree Weatherspoon

Not the highest guy on the board right now, but evaling closely

Jayvan Boggs

O$U commit. O$U entrenched in Florida w/WR. Going to be a battle

Joshua Moore

Miami been recruiting for a while

Group of WR still being evaled

Koby Howard
Kamare Williams


TE's

Brock Schott

#1 on the TE board. B10 schools battle (O$U, ND and Michigan)

Others on the TE board

Luka Gilbert
Kiotti Armstrong (coming back for another spring visit)
Hollis Davidson
Marshall Pritchett

OL

Solomon Thomas
(T or G), Miami very high on him at T
Miami doesn't care about F$U committment, pushing for the flip

Josh Petty,

Miami pushing for an OV, prospect day visit went well, monitor recruitment

Owen Strebig

Miami wants to start recruiting more linemen from WI
ND cb, this recruitment is far from over, top two Miami and ND
Mario and Mirabal made big impression on him

Kaden Strayhorn

Likes at C, MSU main competitor here

Others on the OL board

Cortez Smith
Max Buchanan
Gabe Smith
Lamar Williams

Developmental OT, projects like McCoy if he can gain weight

DE

Jared Smith

Did not come to prospect day, Miami wants him to visit this spring though

Iose Epenesa

AJ's brother, top target
Iowa thought by many to be favorite because of AJ, doesn't phase Miami. They will recruit against anyone
Planning on spring visit, maybe OV

Nathaniel Marshall

Top target on the board. Miami all in. Similar to Scott & lightfoot recruitments. Miami thinks they can win this one.
Plays inside or outside.

Visited ND this weekend, but still on the board.

Randy Adirika

Miami EXTREMELY high on him and has done a phenomenal job recruiting him
He's a take

DT Board

Jalen Wiggins

LB spots limited, going to pick kids that want to be here

Carlton "CJ" Smith

Miami in his final list

Mantrez Walker

There is some interest, but others higher on the board. LOTS of stuff would need to happen before they'd take him

Safety, TE, LB, EDGE and Receiver talent is huge. A lot of teams are going to eat this cycle. CB, DT and OL will be the ones to watch once again this year imo
I have 0 worries about any trench related group or LB after this 2024 cycle. Keeping Nickel + how well we address WR, CB, and S is what I wanna see how we stack.

Dennis Smith shouldn’t be given that job. Hire a legit RB coach.
I can't imagine Mario will hire him unless he can coach AND recruit.... Mario isn't Manny and has much way more resources at his disposal.

But Dennis Smith has coached RBs in the past. He also coached with Mario at FIU and was his recruiting coordinator his last year there so I assume they're close.
