Note on Tirek Austin-Cave official visit

[TheMatador]

Was this recent? The guy who went to Illinois.

It was Liuget. Just looked it up. I didn't follow his career. He did pretty well for himself. First round to SD after junior year and good career their. (meant "they're" -- CiS usage rules).

His father was apparently murdered, maybe in Miami. Understand why he wanted to leave.

Lemonier went to Auburn

 

[TheMatador]

He was a top recruit that got $. Nunn was a 3 star. Big difference.

Liuget was bought by Illinois? Didn't know they were still doing that after our future DL coach Bob Karmelowicz stole some kids from us when he was still on Illinois staff

Why doesn't Illinois just give up...they still wallow in mediocrity

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Way to ruin it dude

My bad fam, you can continue to be gassed about that if you choose lol

10-15 years ago I guess...to me that's like yesterday....I see the big Hurricane picture, from mid-50's to now.

 

[TheMatador]

Not really. I’m Jersey we say fam a lot. Similar to Florida and the word jit

Jit definitely a South Florida word....

Urban Dictionary definitely old white man's friend. Autocorrect is not. Wants to make it "hit."

I would love flagg, Hyppolite, Austin-Cave, and Mathis, that being said isn't that like a really short LB core?

Tirek Austin-Cave is 6'1, AJ Mathis is 6'1 & Hyppolite is 6'0, the only short one is Corey Flagg Jr.

How tall do you think most LB's are?

I’m just messin with you. Don’t matter to me.

People think linebackers are sttill 6'4 255 lol the game has changed. 6'4 255 is an end now

Perryman was what 5’11 on a good day and he was a stud here.

Perryman was what 5’11 on a good day and he was a stud here.

Our best linebackers this decade have been no taller than 6’1. Sean Spence , perryman, Pinckney, quarterman are all 6’1 or shorter

 

[tyrn]

He sould be a top 250 player

Dude is a 4 star IMO

Sideline to sideline and has some thump !

My favorite LB in the 2020 class besides that 5* beast from CALI !

Go check Josh White's film.

Can't believe L$U has him and Sampah committed....

 

[UMFarArcher]

How about that taking players while waiting on the whale, instead of waiting on the whale and missing on players. Interesting concept.

Yep! One bush in the hand is worth Two bushes . . . somewhere else?

 

[mirvin88]

Very good player. Hopefully he secures his spot soon.

 

[brock]

Very good player. Hopefully he secures his spot soon.

If he does commit. Miami needs to be selective with it’s last 2 spots at linebacker and try to land elite guys there. Because that 2021 class is loaded(much more loaded than this one that’s for sure at linebacker) so we don’t necessarily need to take 4

None of them are legit 6'1, Mathis has not been measured officially so he could be shorter and everyone else is shorter by .5 of an inch. Even in are best LB trio ever arguably, the tallest was 6'2. The prospects that I'm talking about are officially 5'11.5, 6'0.5 and maybe 6'1, but maybe I'm also tripping .

 

[tyrn]

Size at LB is so overrated.

Give me a 5'11-6'1/195-210 lbs LB with great instincts (Spence, Vilma, Perryman, Lewis, Morgan, Beason etc...) over the 6'3 230 lbs guy who played DE his whole life.

Now you're just absolutely trying to find something to nitpick about lol.

Ray Lewis literally the greatest LB ever is 6'1, Darrin Smith is 6'1, Jessie Armstead is 6'1, Jonathan Vilma is 6'1, Jon Beason is 6'0, DJ Wiliams is 6'1, Rohan Marley is 5'8, Nate Webster is 6'0, Denzel Perryman is 5'11.

Bobby Wagner is 6'0, Lavonte David is 6'1, Myles Jack is 6'1, Roquan Smith is 6'1, Wesley Woodyard is 6'0, Kwon Alexander is 6'1, Deion Jones is 6'1, Shaq Thompson is 6'0, Thomas Davis is 6'1, Ryan Shazier is 6'1... I could go on.

Was Zook there?

 

[MS11]

I think Mathis is going to be the guy that is in or out of this class depending on if they hit on a big-time target. Ideally for me right now is Flagg, Cave, Kinsler and a top target like flowe or Simon (don't think we have a chance with Simpson). For me I would need to see a little more out of Mathis to really solidify his spot in the class and gut feeling is Miami staff feels the same way on that

We need to take 4 this class, no questions asked. It's the most dire spot on the team. I couldn't care less how wonderful 2021 looks, if you can find 4 kids you really like in this class, you take them. And I don't care if they're not Top 100 recruits. Although, if we sign 4 at the position and none of them are highly regarded kids, it'll be more LB recruiting failures. But that's another discussion. For this discussion, you MUST get 4 backers in this class. You need bodies. We were playing walk-ons in the spring. Have to have 4, and we'll figure 2021 out in 2021.
