The Bank (3/18)

Respectfully as your graphic shows he was never a 5 star on 247 as their 5 star rank starts at a minimum of 98. I know by looking at his overall rank it may appear as he was since he was as high as 19 overall as a junior but that’s a weird thing on their site were they don’t give out all the 5 stars until late in the process. For instance, the 13th ranked player in this years junior class is Israel Abram’s who they also have as a 4 star. The only site he was ever a 5 star on was Rivals.

A).



- At defensive end, Miami continues to push for elite targets like DJ Jacobs (Atlanta, GA), Jaiden Bryant (Columbia, SC) and Marcus Fakatou (Los Angeles, CA). The Canes got an in-person look at local sack artist Trevoris Finley (Carol City) at 305 Day and liked what they saw.

- At defensive tackle, the Canes will continue to push for names like Jalen Brewster (Dallas, TX). But I'm told that Josh Johnson (Key West, FL) and Xavier Perkins (Durham, NC) are high-priority takes regardless of who else is on the board. The staff also loves Stive-Bentley Keumajou Yondui (Coral Gables), a 6'3, 300-pounder from England who plays soccer and basketball and also kicks and punts. Ezekiel Ayangbile (Houston, TX) is also a target.

@DMoney so you definitely have Perkins at DT and not DE? Or is he a guy who can get a look at both. Same with Josh Johnson?

Is the Xavier Muhammed interest legit both ways?

So no South FL WRs on the board besides Lennear? I can't remember the last time that happened.

At the same time he didn't say Stevens was de-committing

Anything on Eric McFarland?

USC is the early word

Size wasn’t Thomas problem he ended up about 230. And we hope Wiley will be better but he hasn’t proven anything yet. Thomas was the better prospect out of hs

Thomas was dam good in HS, not so much at FSU which warms my heart...

I wonder what happened with KJ Caldwell (Atlanta, GA)...odd we are not pursuing...I thought we were in that race.
