OL Juan Minaya commits to Miami

[Donny Donowitz]

Explosive lifting and flexibility training only please. Needs to add twitch and bend.

 

[BS85]

Under pervious coaches

I see you

 

[3FW]

I believe so, no others coming to mind

We landed a Safety who was a big recruit, who left like right away.

 

[DusseDez]

Sorry Juan but better late than never

 

[LatinCane]

Welcome to The U! Work hard, stay dedicated to improving your skill set and end up amazing!

Kiy Hester, who was more LB than Safety.

We also got Jovani Haskins, who ended up transferring WVU.

Big kid and clearly a project which Mirabel and Cristobal can afford to take their time with.

Do they envision this kid staying at tackle, or is the plan to bump him to guard (he moves more like a guard than a tackle)?

With a basketball background I would expect tackle. However, since they cross-train everyone, I think they'll place him where he develops best.

 

[canesupremacy]

Love the pickup. I have faith in coaches’ OL prospects

 

[Brains]

AQM last one of those?

Courtel Jenkins was obese, a Golden Special, and from that area.

Yeah, he looks stiff and unathletic. Don’t know if that’s something that can be greatly improved with training, lifting, coaching etc.

 

[lf26soda]

Yes. Deryc Plazz from Jacksonville is one candidate.

All I can think about seeing that name

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

…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

You had me dying on this. Buy this man a beer because he nailed this ****.

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.

I can see it if there's a reason they're under the radar. If they're at a small or less well-known high school, if they're not doing 7-on-7's, or they just started playing football, then there's a reason they haven't shown up on the radar of the recruiting sites. If they remain 3-stars after they've committed, and they now have the attention of the sites, then that's a bad sign.

I’ll bet every one of those kids going to USC would have given us serious consideration if we had pursued them. Two closest programs culturally. And Miami is a lot closer and where half their extended family lives or vacations.

Well I know Dwayne Jarrett personally, he was a highly rated recruit coming out of NJ in 2003. You probably know who he is, but he said he loved Miami but they didn’t really recruit him so you may be right.

 

[ScubaCane]

Looks slow and stiff in those highlights, not impressed with this commit

 

[kryptonite]

Any chance the staff would look at a kid who's 6'5" or 6'7"?

Dude was a beast on those USC teams!

 

[Canesfan_134]

This kid is a very very raw and I think he could develop into a very solid player under our staff.

My friend was his QB, at New Brunswick high. They won state like 3 years in a row

Never knew he has interest in coming here. Sounds like we should’ve recruited him harder. We need more kids out of Jersey.
