Official visit season starts tomorrow, and the Canes are in a healthy position. As it stands, they have the #4 class on the Composite with 15 commits and a 92.90 average recruit rating. Now it's time to push it over the top. Here is the latest.

- There has been a lot of talk about numbers with this class. In the past, the discussion was always about scholarships. Now, it's salary. I expect the Canes to keep this class relatively small (20 players) in terms of NIL guys. That will give the staff flexibility to retain a loaded roster. They want a chance to develop their own young players.

But that doesn't mean they will only bring in 20 high school players. Don't be surprised if the Canes snatch some G5 prospects with limited NIL and full scholarships. This staff values senior film immensely and never stops evaluating.

- The story of this recruiting class right now is defensive end. If I had to place a wager, I'd bet on the Canes landing one of DJ Jacobs (Atlanta, GA) and Jaiden Bryant (Columbia, SC). Bryant is visiting this weekend and we remain in communication with Jacobs. The staff has prioritized the position, Jason Taylor's track record is established, and both five-stars have made multiple visits. There is an outside possibility, although not likely, that we could land both.



- Position-wise, I think the last spots will look something like this (in no order): DE, DT, LB, S, WR.

- The Canes would love to close the deal with WR Eli Woodard (Temecula, CA) this weekend. They have a chance to do so. They also love WR Tre Moore (Austin, TX). I could see this wrapping up soon one way or the other.

- At DT, the staff is eager to get an in-person look at DT DeMarco Jenkins (Houston, TX). Damione Lewis, a fellow Texan, is a huge advocate for Jenkins. This could move fast if the visit goes well.



- The LB board is the most wide-open on the team, aside from AJ Randle (Raleigh, NC). We have four linebackers scheduled to visit this week (Randle, Kaden Henderson, Noah Glover and Jalaythan Mayfield) one next week (Drew Williams) and one the following week (Aston Whiteside). Of all the remaining positions, this is the most unclear.

- The top target at safety appears to be Andre Hyppolyte (North Miami Beach). Jeff Bertani is the longest-tenured HS coach in Miami with a long history of NFL players, especially at defensive back. Those names include Kemal Ishmael (95 NFL games), EJ Biggers (92 NFL games), Johnathan Cyprien (79 NFL games) and Louis Delmas (78 NFL games). Coach Cristobal has tremendous respect for Bertani, and he coached Cyprien at FIU. Bertani speaks extremely highly about Hyppolyte, who is also playing QB this year.

Loia Valade (West Boca) is a good player but I don't think his price point made sense as a box safety. He is no longer visiting and not expected to reschedule.

- TE Jordan Karhoff (Columbus, OH) is another good player where the bidding outpaced the evaluation. I do expect the staff to address this position at one point. Remember, tight end is historically a late-bloomer position with converted QBs, oversized WRs and basketball players. For example, basketball convert Gavin Mueller rose from a three star to the #5 TE in America as a senior.

- At this time of the calendar, and with the IPF under construction, the team has been in conditioning mode. The IPF opens up next week, and football drills will pick up at the same time. We will have buzz from those workouts as they happen. But I wanted to share one name who could be a breakout candidate- LB Bobby Pruitt. He's put on serious weight and is now a full-time linebacker after dabbling at safety last year. He has an opportunity to carve out a major role as that third linebacker behind Mo Toure and Chase Smith.

 

Bring me Bryant

If I was betting this is the one I believe we get . Just my thoughts , jt resume speaks for himself and he’s Bryant is more like Bain . Man strength , two first rounders . If that Cali kid don’t want 59 act right maybe we send him packing and go after both $$$. At some point it has to be business if you’re not earning. What your nil is they have to make buisness decisions.

@DMoney if and when they offer the DT Demarco do you think they’d take him on the spot? Is this the cheaper priced players we’re looking at? He’s got a solid offer list.

I noticed he visits SMU next weekend and TCU the following weekend.

Demarco is a beast. Doubt he gets lowballed.

 

lol I can’t buy the Bobby Pruitt stuff

Agree. We're about to have to watch a full season of Toure and Chase Smith playing like 80% of snaps, and its gunna be annoying as ****.

Good ****!!! I love the line, “Never stop evaluating!” That means everything. It’s really good having dollars… it’s even better when you have dollars AND sense (pun intended).

 

Please get Hyppolyte. Must-get.

 

Hope Pruitt can be a difference maker.

Jesse Armstead / Derrick Brooks /
Jermaine Grace is who is comp wise very much.

Derrick Brooks Brook Junior yeas at 6’1 222lbs Junior .

Sophomore he Played in 210s /Derrick Brooks was 5 Star DB /LB Prospect.
With 4.4 speed.

We really haven’t seen what Cam Pruitt Can Do in A game.

We know He can Run fast & Strike/ We know he Covers better than most Safties
We have t seen him since Syracuse game he cause a Turn over.

Cam Pruitt does have. Competition/one of the Tru freshman Lb Edwards game mirrors Pruitt.
Competition Always brings out the Best or a player gets pass on.

 

Bobby Pruitt hype let’s ******* GO

How much does he weigh now ? You last that part out lol

I bet 218lbs tops 220lbs.

Legit 218- 220 is significant. He is lot Like Lightfoot who 232lbs would. take
Be Happy if he makes 238 -240s.

Both are kind hitting their ceiling Frames without Over packing in to much mass we had quite a few like .

 

After last year, you would think people would be less dismissive of the buzz coming out of Greentree. Besides Jojo, a lot of the hype from the preseason ended up being true

Greentree jokes just don’t hit the same anymore

 

Appreciate the info, D. I love the approach to recruiting. We've become a juggernaut. Fine with waiting on TEs. But we need real help there. Hopefully we uncover an emerging HS or Juco talent then go get more in the portal.

Pruitt as #3 makes sense. I was hoping to hear more from Wiley. He has all the tools, needs to have that Bagger Vance moment where he starts seeing the whole field. Any chance Campbell can be a breakout freshman at LB?

This 2026 season will certainly be an adventure/mystery at TE for sure but Briggs and Mueller are big time young talents IMO excited to see how they develop.

We just ignoring the Lofton is the best player on the team hype from last Spring?!?

Greentree jokes just don’t hit the same anymore

Facts, heard about Toney, Pringle, Fitzgerald, Lucas etc they all were as advertised

 

If king and wright start together im going to call them the Oregon duo. We stole their CB class

 

That Jenkins kid at DT has some nice athleticism to work with!!! If D. Lee all in, so am I!!! Let’s Ride.

 

Ohio state praying we get Bryant

 

Agree. We're about to have to watch a full season of Toure and Chase Smith playing like 80% of snaps, and its gunna be annoying as ****.

Pruitt way more talented than smith I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t pass him up by season end

 

Thank you DMoney for educating people about how UM’s NIL budget factors into recruiting.

 

Ohio state praying we get Bryant

Would be great if we could get both somehow, especially from lsu and osu

 

Agree. We're about to have to watch a full season of Toure and Chase Smith playing like 80% of snaps, and its gunna be annoying as ****.

They’re good enough to do that IMO. But yeah, any time you hear a kid hyped you don’t fully expect, there’s a chance it’s because the rest are taking the step you hoped. Could be a combo of both in this case. Hope the freshmen push the upperclassmen hard.
