This is a big recruiting weekend, with an emphasis on the word “big.” Lots of heavyweights on campus.

- The top names are coming from the West Coast, and they are being treated like priorities. Elite OL Brandon Baker (Mater Dei, CA) gets most of the hype and deservedly so, but Miami is also sky high on his teammate DT Aydin Breland. They believe he is one of the most impressive-looking DTs in the nation and there is mutual interest. Oregon is main competition at the moment.

- LB Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa (John Bosco, CA) is another California kid that is on campus this weekend. Miami loves his game, as do most schools around the country.

- TE Elija Lofton (Las Vegas, NV) is an exceptional all-around football player who is on campus this weekend and has Miami’s attention. He gets a lot of Brevin Jordan comparisons because of his school (Gorman), number (9) and size (6’2, 220).

- OL Mike Williams (Baltimore, MD) is a giant (6’7, 315) under-the-radar player that Mirabal loves. OL Juan Minaya (Paramus, NJ) is another big body on campus, but Williams seems to have more momentum right now.

- OL Nyier Daniels (Bergen Catholic, NJ) is another huge kid (6’7, 340) who has a lot of interest in Miami.

- Name to keep an eye on who is visiting this weekend- DL Wyatt Gilmore from Rogers, Minnesota. He is a big athlete (basketball player) with room to grow. Miami loves his upside, but there will be competition.

- Expect Miami to turn up the heat on WR Jerrae Hawkins from IMG. He tore it up at their combine and is earning some Jaylen Waddle comps in the building.

- Two names at RB that Miami likes more than most Ca’lil Valentine (Phoenix metro) and Kewan Lacy (Dallas metro).

- They are still evaluating hard at QB. They absolutely love recent offer Judd Anderson (Gray, GA). He is a legit 6’6 with a basketball background. Still developing as a passer, but if he takes a leap as a senior he will be flooded with offers. Miami is also intrigued by Danny O’Neil (Indianapolis, IN), who is on campus this weekend. He has no offer yet but is on the radar. They are still after Air Noland (Atlanta metro) and rave about his intangibles. While Tyler Van Dyke is the unquestioned QB1 and Miami loves Jacurri Brown, a transfer to add veteran depth to the room is not out of the question.

- South Florida is a little weak at DB, but the folks in Hecht are very high on CB Ricky Knight III (Benjamin).

- Because of the difficulty relying upon Tre’Vonte Citizen coming off injury, expect Miami to pursue a starting-caliber transfer running back. I’d also expect a starting-caliber safety with James Williams playing more snaps in a hybrid role. And they are still after a big DT. They don’t just want a plugger- they want size and athleticism and won’t settle.

- The Jaheim Singletary (Georgia transfer) noise is real. He can contribute at cornerback or safety.

- Miami loves the early returns on WRs Ray Ray Joseph and Robby Washington. Because of that, they are focusing strictly on outside guys for the 2-3 transfer WR spots. They want deep speed and/or length. Gary Bryant, Jr. (USC transfer) and Tyler Harrell (Alabama transfer) remain firmly in the mix.

- Backup center is a position to watch this spring. In a welcome change from the past, we look stronger outside than at the pivot. The freshmen get a ton of attention, and rightfully so, but the staff also loves OL Matthew McCoy. If someone falls behind at the OT battle, don’t be surprised to see them get a look at center.

Huge news, if they like Robby and Ray Ray that much that they are completely pivoting to outside guys that must mean they expect those two to play a real role this year.

Edit: as I’ve said since October 2022, Ray Ray will be a freshmen all American

Major emphasis on national recruiting!!! Dudes from Indiana, Phoenix, Vegas, Georgia, Baltimore, cali. Love love love to see it.

Wonder when we will start seeing Louisiana guys pop up

Freshman WRs being very involved will only help us exponentially with recruiting.

Not sure how they get a decent QB out of the portal and expect him just to come here just for depth….QBs in the portal are looking to go somewhere to get playing time.
Austin Aune North Texas QB who threw for 3,547yds 33TD’s & 15INT’s last season is in the Portal as a Grad Transfer.

However, he’s like 29 right now & will be 30 during the season (he played minor league Baseball) & I highly highly doubt he would come here to be a backup. He can easily go to a bunch of different teams & be a legit starter.

Braylon Braxton at Tulsa would’ve been perfect as a backup, but Kevin Wilson & Spurrier Jr convinced him to withdraw from the Portal & come back.

If they get a backup, it’ll likely be a Grad Transfer post Spring Upperclassmen who isn’t gonna be a starter or maybe a FCS kid looking to move up.

GT or FCS guy who is looking to get into coaching. Offer them a spot after graduation.

It’s like I said I’m sure that any QB worth a spot as even the backup wouldn’t be coming here just for depth cause if he’s better than what we have in Brown and Williams he’s looking to play not hold a clipboard.

Only thing I could see changing that is if we had a QB guru say like a Kiffen and the kid was only interested in learning to go into coaching.
 
So James is going to be playing the nb spot or box safety interesting. At Marshall Guidry had a tall lanky safety playing the same position he was around 6’3 185
