The Bye Week is a work week when it comes to recruiting. Here is the latest:

- Javian Mallory (West Boca) is locked in at running back, but the Canes are looking to stack talent. One name to keep an eye on: Atlanta four-star Amari Latimer. The Wisconsin commit is having an outstanding senior season and the folks in the Hecht have noticed:

@gogeta4 been asking for this for 6 months lol

- The strategy at defensive line is simple: "Swing for the fences." Expect aggressive pushes for the likes of Anthony "Tank" Jones (Mobile, AL), Bryce Perry-Wright (Atlanta, GA) and Dre Quinn (Atlanta, GA).

- The Canes are also working multiple fronts at wide receiver. The name with the most juice is four-star Milan Parris (Akron, OH). He recently decommitted from Iowa State and is visiting in two weeks. The staff is working that one hard. While Paris is the guy to watch, another name to add to the board is Vanderbilt commit Keeyshawn Tabuteau (Chattanooga, TN). The Quebec, Canada native recently posted a 10.8 100M on the track .



- Calvin Russell (Northwestern) and Jasen Lopez (Chaminade) remain live targets as local receivers. Those are fluid situations.

- TE Israel Briggs (Visalia, CA) is committed and the Canes continue to push for TE Luke Brewer (Des Moines, Iowa). Another name to add to the board is TE Gavin Mueller from Chicago. Like many of the new names on the board, the 6'5, 255 Colorado commit is having a strong senior season. He also plays basketball:



- The strategy at defensive line is simple: "Swing for the fences." Expect aggressive pushes for the likes of Anthony "Tank" Jones (Mobile, AL), Bryce Perry-Wright (Atlanta, GA) and Dre Quinn (Atlanta, GA).

- With Clemson struggling, Miami is working multiple flips. I think there is more traction with S Blake Stewart (Atlanta, GA) than OC Grant Wise (Pace, FL). Stewart remains an extremely high priority at safety.

- Another Atlanta-area safety that the Canes are evaluating is Indiana commit Jamar Owens. He is visiting this weekend.

- As first reported on CanesInSight, Miami is making a serious push for #1 2027 QB Elijah Haven (Baton Rouge, LA) while continuing to pursue high-priority target Trent Seaborn (Birmingham, AL).

- Coach Heatherman would love to add another linebacker, and he recently visited Louisville native (and Cardinals commitment) Karsten Busch. The 6'3, 223-pound former TE continues to rise as a defender.

Thanks for the update. Individual games don't swing prospects, but it seems like UM might be able to seize momentum with Tank Jones. Do you get this feeling?

For the same reason, I'll be incredibly impressed if the staff is able to flip BPW.
 
I can’t help but wonder how much NIL is holding us back from landing a top-five recruiting class. Mario is an absolute machine when it comes to recruiting. He lives and breathes it, and few do it better. I can’t imagine anyone consistently outrecruiting him.

My suspicion is that if money weren’t part of the equation, we’d easily have a top 5 recruiting class. But the rev-share power of the Big Ten and SEC schools is probably tough to compete with. When the NIL era began, we were ahead of the curve. Now, those schools have gotten their act together and found ways directly or indirectly to funnel TV money into their NIL budgets.

So while we used to be the highest bidder, we’re probably just in the ballpark now, and losing out on some recruits because of it. To be clear, it’s not that we’re broke, far from it. We’ve got serious resources. The question is whether we have top-five-level resources. We might not, at least not until we finally make the jump out of the ACC, even though the new ACC rev-share model will help.

It’s also not lost on me that elite players tend to prefer elite conferences. So we’re dealing with a bit of an “ACC prestige penalty,” but I think we’re also dealing with a money penalty.

We may end up with more kids from Metro Atlanta than S Fla by the time it’s all done.

I’m kidding, but not by much. You know what we say up here. A 3 star in Metro Atlanta is like a 5 star anywhere else. Which means our 4 stars like Latimer are actually 6 stars, which didn’t exist until I just made it up.

about **** time...may be trailing me on some of these takes. But Latimer looks the goods and is an origanl s fla kid he isnt a ga boy. His upside to me is just as high as derrick cooper. A class of him and Mallory is extremly good. Kid catches out of the backfield really well and will eb over 220 his entire time here if he commits imo

It so makes my heart smile to see what programs are flopping and then Mario raiding their classes.

Like to take some of fsu dl just to hurt them in the trenches and to keep them crying . Same **** jimbo use to us when we was facing sanctions . Steal one of our position of need and have him de commit the last possible minute to make sure we couldn’t replace him .

Laitmer is a metro transplant from south florida lol.

His uncle is the writer/Rapper of Cane Anthem...'WE BALLIN BOY" Song from when we won the rose bowl that had Ed Reed and them rapping on it. They push this kid isnt going to wisky...his brother is up there now playing db and wanted to portal in here as well.

*I think we should/could have ore metro atl kids in this class than s.fla......I think this year metro atl group is choc full of talent.

Agree with you 100% about Latimer. I love his highlights.

He plays a lot like Mallory to my eyes. Big RB’s who are shifty getting through the hole, have the speed to get to the next level, cause problems to DB’s trying to tackle him, and run like natural RB’s (as opposed to Cooper to me who looks like a natural LB playing RB on offense because of how good he is athletically).

Ya they are definitely similar

Mallory is a little more of a slasher, and this kid is a little smoother, one cut and hit the hole…But both big backs with power, good feet, and decent but not great speed.

I could definitely live with Latimer. These two on the heels of speed back pringle
