We're about to enter the heart of recruiting season for the next three months. Here is the latest from the Hecht:

- While Texas A&M should be considered the favorite, Miami remains in contact with OT Mark Matthews (St. Thomas Aquinas). The Canes are also in contact with OT Oluwasemilore Olubobola (Jersey City, NJ). Both of those situations could move fast.

- In terms of the big name guys, communication is particularly strong with CB Gabe Osborne (Oklahoma City, OK) and DT David Folorunsho (Chicago, IL).



- One name trending for the Canes that the staff loves- DT Ezekiel Ayangbile (Houston, TX). He is the son of former Pro Bowler Duane Brown.



- The Canes are looking for a second TE to pair with Demarcus DeRoche (Cardinal Gibbons). Things have cooled with Anthony Cartwright (Detroit, MI) and Jaxon Dollar (Charlotte, NC) remains a longshot. One name to know- 6'5, 220-pounder Jordan Karhoff (Columbus, OH).



- Ty Keys (Poplarville, MS) and Brennen Lacey (Dallas, TX) remain the names to know at running back.

- Two hyper-athletic, multisport names at LB that have Coach Hetherman's attention: AJ Randle (Raleigh, NC) and Jarrell Chandler (Knoxville, TN).



- The Canes hit at West Boca last year with Javian Mallory, and are looking to go back to the well. DT Jamar Thompson remains a strong option, and the staff loved their in-person view of CB Loia Valade, who moved to South Florida from Tennessee. He is a legit 5'11, 180 with verified 4.4 speed. Keep an eye on that name.



- The Canes continue to big-game hunt at DE. All the top names remain in play, with Jabarrius Garror (Mobile, AL) recently joining the mix. They are looking to make a splash at this spot.

 

Honestly the way Mario never gives up I am not sure it's over for Matthews. I'll be ecstatic with Olu however.

 

Oklahoma DT? Eh doubt it

 

Jacobs?

 

Oklahoma DT? Eh doubt it

He is a CB, but point remains.

 

He is a CB, but point remains.

Oh I misread that. Eh, I think we’d have better shot with cb from there.

Not sure OU has the CBs to sell or not right now. They have a few DTs to sell Halton this past draft, and they’ll have 2 drafted this yr, Stone being possible 1st

 

Go get olo and folorunsho and ill forget about Mathews

 

 

Five-year-old.

How do you hold a job in the real world?

 

I’m here for the comments and beer

 

D$, you WILD for this one.

Finna get that “nine million post and counting” tagline…

 

Added a note on Ezekiel Ayangbile. He's a player to watch.

 

 

Added a note on a couple LBs we like.

 

What’s the hold up with Hyppolite?

Figured he’d be in the boat already.

 

Am I the only one more excited by the transfer portal than freshman recruiting?

 

Five-year-old.

How do you hold a job in the real world?

I don't. I collect social security.

 

Added a note on a couple LBs we like.

Bye bye Kaden Henderson.

 

Like I said in the Matthews thread. If money isn’t the issue, then it has to be either the people or person.

Really strange how this recruiting season has been going after the best season and draft of our last 20 plus years. Somethings not connecting with the top recruits

 

What’s the hold up with Hyppolite?

Figured he’d be in the boat already.

I think it was flo who recently said in one of his shows he needs to stop playing around and commit or his spot may be gone.
