@DMoney in the May 29, 2025 Bank. Confirmation that UM is recruiting him as a LB.

LB Tamarion Watkins (Charlotte area) is a high school safety with a similar build to James Williams (6'4, 200). The South Carolina schools are ahead but we're pushing. This is his first time on campus.​

The Canes just landed the #1 player in the country, and now they want to make a move towards the #1 class. Here is the latest on all the visitors headed into a loaded recruiting weekend:

- There is momentum with elite RB Derrek Cooper (Chaminade). I would peg Miami as the leader going into the weekend. It's still a battle, though, with Ohio State and Texas right there. I'd place Georgia behind those three at the moment. Cooper is a huge priority, as Miami does not want to lose the most talented player in South Florida. They're focused on changing that narrative.

- Top-ranked WR Tristen Keys (Hattiesburg, MS) made his third visit to Miami and continues to express significant interest. This weekend was...

Another LB to keep an eye on is Tamarion Watkins (Rock Hill, S.C.). South Carolina is the Crystal Ball favorite and he visits Columbia this weekend, but the Canes are still in it and communicating well. The visit will tell the story.​

The Bank is back open. Here's the latest as Miami heads into its final official visit weekend:

- The Canes have made progress with several key targets. I like Miami for Top 10 DT James Johnson (Northwestern). War daddy DTs are the most valuable commodity in college football and Johnson would be a hugely impactful addition.

- I also like Miami for Top 10 TE Israel Briggs (Visalia, CA). While LSU's mods questioned whether he would play WR or TE, I'm told the staff is comfortable with his frame as a detached TE in our offense. He announces next Tuesday.
