Remember what happened with Mauigoa? How everyone thought he was a lock to UT?

Don't count out Mcclain. That is all.
This x100000. There are posters who literally came on here and said we might as well lock the Mauigua thread because it was over and we wouldn’t be able to go near what Tennessee offered. That he was giving us a courtesy visit. My how times have changed. I will never say never again.
 
McClain wants to see the on field product but I think we have as good of a shot as anyone.
This is actually pretty positive. A young man who lives in Gator territory, being recruited hard by Bama which is producing as many NFL DB’s as any school, is willing to see how we play before making a decision. And why do I write how “we” play? Because he’s not waiting to see how the Bama DB’s look. We all know that answer. So my take from this one line statement is he is seriously considering UM and only UM can convince him not to go to Bama. That is a good place to be with the defensive and DB coaches we have.

Any intel on Capers in 24 class? I’m assuming he’s a top priority and that we are in it considering 5 star LB from Columbus.

Any feel if we could get him on board early?

That list also includes:

Anthony Hill
Hykeem Williams
David Hicks
Cedric Baxter (if he picks UT early)

Along with Cormani..these are kids that if the product looks good in year 1 who will no doubt circle back and hear us out before December.
 
Side bonus: pretty sure UF thinks they're getting Hall, or at least positioned well in the race. Added tears if it's UGA we're competing with.
 
If we win 10 games this year....we might F around and get the #1 ranked class in the country.

Optics matter to these kids and their parents. We walk out of College Station with a W and you're going to see kids that are currently committed elsewhere trying to come on board.

When Isaiah Horton committed i comped him to Leonard Hankerson. That would be a real good player with size and wingspan...he may be more twitchy than Hank as he played cb as well in high school. Hank had nice straight line speed but was a glider..pick up speed type...i still think he clocked 4.4 coming into the draft if i can remember.
Would love this.

Hankerson was soooo good his last 2 seasons at the U
 
- The hottest name on the board is Stranahan WR Hykeem Williams. It's still a battle, but Miami has more positive momentum here than they've had in a while. He is a major priority and is viewed internally as a difference-maker.

- As of today, I expect Malik Bryant (Orlando) to commit to Miami on July 23rd and give Cristobal another Top 50 player.

- OL Samson Okunlola (Brockton, MA) remains the jewel of the entire class. I like where Miami sits and could see this one getting resolved in July. Olaus Alinen (Finland) has been all over Miami on social media and we feel good. He is someone who seems to appreciate the attention of the fanbase, so those who post on social media should keep it coming. I continue to expect Tommy Kinsler (Ocala) in the class, even with his pushed back announcement date. He is considered a big-time talent internally. Payton Kirkland (Orlando) and Monroe Freeling (Mt. Pleasant, SC) remain major targets and there is traction with both. I expect us to land the top OL class in the country.

- There has been Florida buzz on WR Andy Jean (Northwestern), but I continue to expect him in this class and possibly sooner than later. Williams and Jean would wrap up a spectacular WR class for the Canes.

- WR William Fowles (Dade Christian) is heating up and just had an eye-opening weekend at the TuTu Atwell 7on7 tournament. The coaching staff is intrigued. I saw him in-person at the Under Armour Camp and thought he was the most impressive guy there.

- Ohio State is making a hard run at S Jayden Bonsu (Hillside, NJ) but I still like Miami there. He can play safety or striker- elite body type, very smart, versatile, physical and mature with a great background. He reminds me of a much more violent Gilbert Frierson.

- S Joenel Aguero (Lynn, MA ) is going to be a seesaw battle until the end. It would be ideal to get him back to Miami for the July cookout.

- There are a bunch of kids named Jordan Hall in this class, but DT Jordan "Big Baby" Hall (Jacksonville) is the name to watch for the Canes. That will be a tough one with Georgia heavily involved.

- As we mentioned in the Bank last week, LB Raul "Popo" Aguirre has been trending to Miami. His commitment gives the Canes what one source described as "the perfect LB for the Cristobal era." He is a throwback with passion, intelligence and a love of contact. He can also run and has seen snaps on offense.

- I mentioned IMG CB Desmond Ricks as a '24 target to watch last week. The local guys to watch are Chaminade WRs JoJo Trader and Jeremiah Smith. They are at the top of the overall board and were described as the Pied Pipers of their class. They are close with recent 2024 Dillard CB commit Antoine Jackson, and that trio can lead a local movement if they can jump on board early.

- Class size is very much subject to change right now. It can be anywhere from 26 to 32. We are in play for a ton of priority targets and we haven't even started winning yet. It is also hard to predict attrition. The staff believes that even more major names can jump in the boat if the season goes well.

- Two '22 names that have made an early impression: WRs Isaiah Horton and Colbie Young. Multiple sources have commented on Horton's upside, calling him special. I saw him myself on Sunday and he is every bit of 6'3-6'4. Young's dimensions have been called "freakish." Disclaimer: it is still extremely early and we will know much more when camp starts, but the early returns are good.
I love this post so much that I want to hold hands with it and take long walks on the beach.
