@DMoney in the June 13, 2025 Bank

The staff is monitoring weekend visitors WR Zion Robinson (Dallas, TX), S Cortez Redding (Atlanta) and CB Kosci Barnes (Greensboro, NC).​

Thread 'The Bank (6/13)'


Miami has another big visit weekend set up as it continues to push for a top 5 class. Here is the latest I am hearing:

- The Canes are being aggressive in prioritizing top local talent. WR Calvin Russell (Northwestern) visits this weekend and is a major priority regardless of what happens with other top targets. The same is true for next week's visitor, WR Jasen Lopez (Chaminade)- I don't believe he is an either/or with WR Vance Spafford (Orange County, CA) and the Canes want him badly. I continue to like the Canes for elite RB Derrek Cooper...

With Ole Miss just landing Craig Tutt, you'd have to think that puts us in the driver seat for Cortez.

**** We better be in the driver seat for someone at safety at this point...
Has felt like we've been slow playing Redding for a minute now. I don't really get why though, like I get if you have Stewart, Devin Jackson, etc over him. But Idk how you look at our roster and don't think you need min 3 safeties this class just for future development.

With Dopson Reclassifying (and we Gotta hold on to him), you gotta think at least one of these dudes in this class is possibly going to safety? I mean who knows maybe Damari and Ewald move to safety and Dylan Day and Amari Wallace are actually doing well like people say, so it doesn't end up being Defcon 1 there, but... I wouldn't have much confidence... Seems to me there is a wide *** opening for a top safety to look at our Roster and see playing time far faster/easier at Safety than CB and certainly than other top programs..

But some other guys in addition to Redding:

- At safety Ohio st has Blaine Bradford (from Lousiana) and Simeon Caldwell (from Jacksonville) committed and lead for Bralan Womack (from Miss) who are all top 10 safeties in this class. Caldwell already has an offer from us and has visited during last season. He's visited ND a bunch, Michigan a few times. So not a dude thats specifically looking to go SEC or UF which is promising. This seems like a dude we can potentially have a shot at if Ohio St ends up landing Womack. Though Think Bradford is currently predicted to flip to LSU, so if that happens theres probably no shot....

- We definitely need to work hard to try to flip Aydin Pouncey from Notre Dame imo. And pretty sure our DB coaches have been mentioned as trying for a min now... Though dude is hella skinny.

- Tedarius Hughes and Barryl Bell. I mean both are in Miami and committed to FSU. Idk how we wouldn't look to one or both of these two if we don't make some magic happen with some top safeties soon. Guess we will see how they play their senior year. But Hughes has good build...

Agree with everything except going after the FL Safeties, I'm not a fan of any of them.

If we're still in the market for another Safety, Nascar McCoy would be a good pick up because he can play CB or S.

If we keep Dopson (which I doubt we will), BJennings would likely be the best candidate to move to Safety among the incoming class.

Redding, Caldwell, pouncey, Hughes, bell, Lherisse (Melbourne and Oregons 3rd safety), and Green (said it’s still open)
Amari Jones, Aldarius Johnson, and Daylen Green are some lower end options too

Maybe I’m just traumatized from the whole Markeith Williams experience but I’m done with hella skinny safeties.

I wonder why Tedarius Hughes is not being pursued. He did visit a couple times this year no?
