Heavily coveted three-star defensive back Loia Valade reshuffled his official visit schedule in a significant way.

Valade, who transferred down from Tennessee to play at Boca Raton (Fla.) West Boca for his senior season a few weeks ago, has cancelled previously planned trips to Miami, Louisvilleand Kentucky.

Grrr… Weird one here. I like this kid.

Wow…Very interesting. This kid looks **** good. Reminds me a little of Blake Stewart who we wanted last year.

Moved around. Underrated by the services but that dude can ball. I already like Jefferson! Then Wright, and this? Our corner are about to look like they used to look.

“I really like Miami a lot,” Valade told Rivals. “They are at the top, it is about the relationships. They show me love every time I’m on campus. Miami has everything I’m looking for, and they make sure we’re on the same page.”

Valade recently moved to Boca Raton from Chattanooga (Tenn.). He has only been there for a few weeks, and he has already visited Miami.

So where are his OVs to and who are his favorites? I thought he cancelled our trip

I’m sorry. I misspoke. He moved his visit to 5/29 and does list us as his favorite. Would still watch out for the Gators if we don’t push for his commitment

Appreciate you

I hope they’re planning on taking three safeties because Hyppolite +Valade + Jones are the perfect fit. Valade and Hyppolite both look like too good of prospects to left either or go to UF.

Wouldn’t even waste time with Snell + Pittman if Loia and Andre were committed.

OV: May 29-31

Valadae has locked in trips to Miami on May 29, Florida on June 4, Texas A&M and Auburn on June 19. Indiana continues to push to get him on campus.​

Our nemesis TAMU has entered the picture here. Seems like a big portion of their recruiting strategy is to go after anyone Mario is serious about.

Not stressing them. Kid moved from Tennessee to Florida in a snap. I’d bet he ends up at Miami or UF.

This recruitment has had some wild swings.

First Flo excluded him from his mock class and didn't even discuss why. The next week he said he personally wasn't a fan but the staff really wants him in the class so he added him back.

Then almost immediately after that @cookies posted that he cancelled his Miami OV and Fong dropped an RPM to the Gates so I assumed this recruitment was over. Now the OV is rescheduled and we're the leader.
