No offense to Frankie but this kid has a far more impressive offer list at this stage. Paramus is one of the top programs in the Northeast so would love to continue making inroads there as well.
Gogeta this eval is sound, the gf named Idalis in particular. The blowout haircut is the dead giveaway.Tape isnt that good to me either.
Has the size that cant be taught, showed some movement skills, and a kick step.
Interior prospect that should take a shirt...and they can hopefully mold with that type of size and apparent strength. He needs to work on his flexibility and leverage as he plays high and feet seems kind of lazy for finishes.
If im taking projects....im taking hima nd Frankie...they are big kids ill say he is on the line of Frankie from last class.
Also this kid looks like he goes to Braddock or Coral Park or something, drives a Honda civic with pipes, and has a girlfriend named Idaliz.
He fits in at Miami like a glove...lol
his highlight film right away had about 3 holds on small guys.Grades roads in the run game but really struggles when you ask him to kick step as a tackle in pass pro. Gets caught holding and outside of his feet. Translates to a RG IMO.
Don’t think he’s struggle as much in pass pro as a guard. Solid base when he doesn’t have to move horizontally and anchors strong. Elite arm length too.
Similar frame and everything to Tinilau but opposite profile. Frankie moves a lot better and has a good kick step but struggles to anchor and destroy DL at the point of attack.
I take it you hated last years class too.I’ve never really been a star guy but I gotta tell ya I also have a hard time with believing that suddenly Mario and these recruiters are the only ones identifying these future studs as if they have some unique superpower that no other programs have. One or two flyers I get - happy to be proven wrong, but right now, this class is very suspect.
In fairness, I think you answered your own question. He goes to an elite well known program in the northeast whereas Frankie was an unknown coming from overseas and went to a small unknown crappy 2A team in Miami. No recruiters were going stumble onto Frankie’s film because they were recruiting a guy from his team. Harder to get views which results in offers like that.No offense to Frankie but this kid has a far more impressive offer list at this stage. Paramus is one of the top programs in the Northeast so would love to continue making inroads there as well.
Judd aside, I have a hard time poking too many holes in the class at this point.I’ve never really been a star guy but I gotta tell ya I also have a hard time with believing that suddenly Mario and these recruiters are the only ones identifying these future studs as if they have some unique superpower that no other programs have. One or two flyers I get - happy to be proven wrong, but right now, this class is very suspect.
He told Gaby he is 6'6, 330 and 16 years old.
I agree with @gogeta4 on others on the tape- he isn't there yet. But from a body type perspective, it makes sense. This will be one of the biggest OLs in the country starting this year.
Coach Mirabal has been laser-focused on rebuilding the body types on Miami’s offensive line. That group just got bigger with the commitment of Juan Minaya. Minaya (6’6, 315) hails from Paramus, NJ-- a suburb of New York City-- and holds offers from Florida, Penn State, Michigan State, Ole Miss, Boston College and Pittsburgh. He is a former basketball player with significant room to develop.
In just two years, Coach Mirabal has added Anez Cooper (6’6, 350), Matthew McCoy (6’6, 300), Tommy Kinsler (6’6, 330), Frankie Tinilau (6’6, 315), Francis Mauigoia (6’6, 315) and Samson Okunlola (6’6, 300). Minaya fits right into that mold.
His junior clips were up and down for me, but you can see the promise in his sophomore film:
This class will be epic watch down the road.I’ve never really been a star guy but I gotta tell ya I also have a hard time with believing that suddenly Mario and these recruiters are the only ones identifying these future studs as if they have some unique superpower that no other programs have.

Mark Fletcher,CJ, and CWH will eat behind this.Massive old school UM OL love it man. Going to be hard for elite backs to pass this OL up down the road.
Nah we don't grow that big in my family lol. If it was midget league than maybe we were related. Good high level football there though for sure.I remember Macho brought a kid to the board..way b4 he got an offer...project type but a mean streak...i said then go with that body type if he is a project...and Mongo is still collecting nfl checks.
He seems to have that same frame...cant wait to see the sr film...i think he should camp down here in summer if he can too...but his area of jersey is good ball either way.
Im also 100 percent sure he is @Dwinstitles cousin.
My goodness man. Even if u get a decent back a bama UGA type OL makes most backs look amazing.Mark Fletcher,CJ, and CWH will eat behind this.
Yeah, but it is understandable that people are still burned from the last 20 plus years.And you are right not to be. Kid started playing ball at 14 years old and is only 16. Benches 225 Lbs 21 times already and has offers from PSU, UF, MSU, WVU and Pitt
