The Work 11-9

If we can land 1 or 2 more studs the front 7 will be sick in 2015

2015 3 deep IMO
1st Team
SDE Chad Thomas SO
NT Calvin Heurtelou SR,
DT Ufomba Kamalu RSR
RUSH Al-Quadin Muhammad RSO
SAM Tyriq McCord SR (He was going to be a full time SAM before AQM was suspended)
MLB Raphael Kirby SR
WILL Jermaine Grace JR

2nd Team
SDE Scott Patchan FR
NT Courtel Jenkins SO or Michael Wyche SR
DT Anthony Moten SO
RUSH Trent Harris SO
SAM Darrion Owens SO
MLB Juwon Young SO
WILL Charles Perry FR

3rd Team
SDE ???
NT Courtel Jenkins SO or Michael Wyche SR
DT Jelani Hamilton RJR
RUSH Demetrius Jackson RFR
SAM Mike Smith RFR
MLB Terry McCray RFR
WILL ???

I would love to see a JUCO WILL & SDE added to this roster. If that happens this could be the first season in a very long time with no true freshman in the 2 deep.

The talent excuse has been nothing but an excuse since this year, we have talent, maybe not top 5 talent, but there is no way you will find 15 teams with better talent than that, sorry can't do it…..

Thanks for the update Peter. It's nice to get some news rather than reading debates about the wisdom / stupidity of flying banners.
 
It's my opinion Mike Smith is a one trick guy. He can rush the passer. I think he struggles in space, and therefore isn't ready to play LB if he has to drop in coverage. The other issue is he is undersized. So you have a 6'1 230 pound guy who can't play in space, and is undersized right now to put his hand down. If he can get to 240-245 keep his burst, and closing speed off the edge, he can be a situational pass rusher for Miami moving forward.

D. Jackson is a scary talent and I love the fact that he's taking things seriously this year. He's a raw athlete in terms of football knowledge, now that he's getting that watch out.

It's also promising to hear that Flowers is making a push to come back, I don't want him to rush things but it would be nice to have the big fella for the last couple games.
 
We need to land Tim Irvin to go along with Jaquan and hopefully the Davis' that would be a tremendous pull. And if u land Marcus Lewis it would be like Christmas morning!

Recruiting Notes

**The Tim Irvin roller coaster ride continues, but things seem to be slowly turning back into Miami’s favor. The Canes have always valued Irvin as a prospect, but Paul Williams’ recent trip to watch him play really blew him away. UF has fallen off somewhat, which is a product of their disappointing season according to a source close to Irvin. Texas is the dark horse here because Irvin is a big fan of Charlie Strong, but it would take a lot to get him to leave South Florida right now. No timetable for his decision.

**Devonaire Clarington is no longer a priority at this point. The staff has monitored Clarington closely over the past three years and he has always been a prospect who showed more potential than production. Miami has decided to go in another direction due to a few issues, including the high possibility that it would have been a struggle getting him to qualify. I would not be surprised to see him wind up at Marshall.

**I mentioned about a month ago that Miami was quietly making a big push for Marcus Lewis and that the staff believed they were in the thick of things for him. Not much has changed, as I am told the Canes are a real option for Lewis. As of right now, Lewis has his Miami visit scheduled for the weekend before signing day and if that holds up, the staff will be going in for the close.

**Booker T. Washington’s Antonio Calloway remains a major priority for the Canes at receiver. Local options such as Richie Cooper are being looked at as well, but as of now the focus remains on Calloway. Davante Davis is also still a major target at CB, but a Booker T source tells me that these two are almost impossible to read at this point. It is tough to cite Miami’s very recent success at Booker T in this situation because both of these kids transferred over in the spring. FSU is the biggest competition.

**It is no secret that Carlton Davis is a big favorite of the staff and he is still being recruited hard. The wild card here is that I’m told Davis really wants to play college ball with his close friend Jeremiah Dinson, a cornerback from American High School committed to Kentucky. To this point, Miami has not shown much interest but that could be something that other schools use to lure Davis away from OSU.

**Miami took Dredrick Snelson over the summer knowing that his recruitment would be a journey, to say the least. They had not been recruiting him all that hard before he basically reached out to the staff to say he wanted to commit, and Miami liked him a lot so they accepted the commitment. The Canes absolutely love his talent level, but the staff was unhappy with the Snelson’s recent posts on social media. A source close to Snelson says the whole Twitter thing was a misunderstanding and he will stick for now. Miami knows this won’t be the last scare they have with him, though.

**I’m interested to see if Miami will budge on a Rodrick Archer offer late in the game. I think Archer could bring a nice versatility and explosiveness on the defensive side of the ball and it would not hurt to strengthen Jordan Scarlett’s commitment.

**To follow up my Tweet on Friday, the Miami staff was unaware of any major imminent “Welcome To The U” when it comes to recruiting as a prominent reporter on Twitter had previously hinted at. Carry on.

Team Notes

**The status of Ereck Flowers is still up in the air for Saturday, but a source told me that he has been walking around on his own power and jogging since last week. It is still unlikely that he goes, but it would not be a complete shock to see him give it a try.

**Coaches are more than pleased with the progress of Demetrius Jackson. I’m told that Jackson has been the exemplary redshirt and taken the opportunity very seriously. Not only has he been adding great weight, but also his understanding of the game has improved leaps and bounds from the moment he stepped on campus. The word “monster” was used to describe his recent performances in practice.

Excellent Write up Pete and thank you as always. here is my take on some of things you mention.I believe Tim Irvin is ours to lose. He wants to play with Jaquan and He loves the U. recent performances from our defense has changed his tune a bit. im afraid of Strong in this case because Strong has a great rapport with SFL players. If we end the season well though. i think he is ours.

Im glad Clarington is off the radar now. he seems like a locker room cancer to me and he hasnt even sutied up in college yet.

Its always seems we are in a bind with SFL recruits. they always want us to offer their buddies so they play together why dont they give those stipulations to other teams they commit too. i dont get it. but C.Davis i feel will be a Cane in the end.

Snelson just need more attention and he will be alright. i feel he will end up in 2016 class with a hard fought battle.

Rodrick Archer needs an offer. he brings a dynamic we dont have here on defense. he kind of reminds me of thurston armbrister now. a true tweener that could excel. im pretty sure he would commit on the spot and i think they know that so they are holding off to see if they can find better then him.

I think A callaway wants to be a Gator and if they keep improving i see him landing there. D Davis i have no idea.
 
Love to hear about jackson being a beast really makes me happy he stayed and signed with us
