Will be interesting to see the fallout (if any) from the Nike deal. We have one flip target and two commits on this list. Will some sign w/Nike next year or is this a multi-year contract?

Also interesting to see what doors (if any) are now open to us (beyond Mater Dei)

does this even matter? Ohio state is a Nike school yet Jeremiah smith is an adidas athlete.

That's my general reaction (regarding existing Addidas signees). However there is this CIS law that is no longer valid. @Rellyrell we are no longer automatically eliminated by Mater Dei recruits 👇🏽

48. Elite Mater Dei recruits don't commit to Addidas (three stripe) schools.

No longer relevant! Mater Dei is open for business.

I find it more likely that adidas affiliated high school players didnt give Miami as much as second thought b/c we were a middling team for 20+ yrs
But- b/c we sign this deal that a recruit(s) suddenly falls in line…
It’s a bit of a stretch isn’t it?
Kids come here b/c they want to contend, be on Tv and play in big games and get coaches to the NFL draft…. Everyone has NIL so I doubt it’s money that breaks the tie
 
I read somewhere that the contract expires after HS and can sign new deals with anyone. Hey it works for JS at OSU, I think it will be fine here as well with MT.

It is pretty **** amusing how these dudes get so caught up in Nike or Adidas deals like it impacts what were able to sign. Yes in many instances a brand will contribute to the recruitment of a kid. But it's not like it's an end all if you get that contribution from another brand. It's not like all brands at that level aren't all vying for an open door into the next possible superstars life's.
