Here is the latest on Early Signing Day eve:

- I like Miami for CB Damari Brown (American Heritage) and DB Conrad Hussey (St. Thomas Aquinas). Hussey projects as a nickel CB. I also like Miami for DB Edwin Joseph (Chaminade).

- Miami may add another Portal name at CB if it's the right one, but it is also possible they roll with an extreme infusion of youth and talent. Cormani McClain (CB Lakeland) and Robert Stafford (Eau Gallie) are here in spring.

- I think it's Michigan State for Portal DE Tunmise Adeleye.

- While it has been quiet, I still expect LB Francisco Mauigoa (Wazzu transfer) in this class.

- As reported last week in the Bank, if TE Reid Mikeska (Houston) flips to South Carolina, watch Miami with Oregon transfer TE Moliki Matavao.

- I still believe Miami takes three Portal WRs. Miami is in a good spot with Dont'e Thornton (Oregon transfer). Grant DuBose (Charlotte transfer) is working hard to get a waiver so he can transfer without graduating. As mentioned last week, he already used his one-time transfer. If he gets it, strong chance he joins this class for spring. I would expect Miami to land one more in addition to those two, with the focus on a legit #1.

- I like Miami for Georgia State DT Thomas Gore.

- Miami is still working on Florida commits Jakeem Jackson (Osceola) and Sharif Denson (Bartram Trail) until the buzzer rings.

- The big name to watch is S Derek Williams (Texas commit from NOLA). Texas wants him to sign early. If he pushes his commitment back, Miami will be heavily in play.

Is the plan to still take another DT in the portal? What’s on the roster ain’t cutting it.

Mario needs to have a sit down with big Joe cause his room is a mess

If we are going to criticize (more of a “nit”...’cuz anybody who isn't happy is a **** mope) at this class based on what we “know” as of today, it would be the lack of DTs and outside WRs (too many slot receivers on the roster). We will need to hit the Portal hard for these two spots.
 
@DMoney seems to me we are taking a TON of Dbs if Hussey/ Joseph and Damari are on board.

Yet I know we will go after Austin and Derek Williams. So my question is.. How many spots left?
They're throwing numbers at a problem plus we had transfers at CB and S so it makes sense.

The staff will have the February signing period to assess what's left out there. Spring will also present another opportunity to add bodies at the position....hopefully.
Wasn't there talk that either McCoy or Cooper could play DL when they signed last year? With all the OL we are bringing in, maybe they plan to move someone over. Both are big, physical guys.
 
Great news

Hopefully they got some backups for Adeleye though

surprised to hear about edwin joseph considering he didn't make the visit as expected

also the Oregon TE is a clear upgrade over mikeska so hopefully there's serious smoke with him.
