Spoke to sources this afternoon following the Jatori Williams decommitment. Here is the latest:

- Jatori's decommitment took us by surprise. Miami loves the person and the player. Any suggestion that this was a drop couldn't be further from the truth. This is a Deep South recruiting battle with distance working against us. I expect Miami to keep pushing for Williams full-throttle like they always do with priority recruits.

- When I talk to Miami, the overall sense is excitement and ambition. They are still focused on Plan A+ and not any Plan Bs or Cs. We've been pushing for OT Mark Matthews through his commitment to Texas A&M and haven't slowed down. The Aggies' struggles certainly help. This will be a back-and-forth battle but Miami is playing to win. Money was never the issue.

- EDGE DJ Jacobs remains the biggest focus on defense. Jaiden Bryant, Miami's five-star EDGE commit, is having a dominant senior season. The goal is to pair Bryant and Jacobs as instant-impact pass rushers to replace whatever premium players we lose. DJ and his brother Dawson Jacobs (who is a big 2028 target) are visiting for the Pitt game. Expect the red carpet.

- The name with a lot of juice right now is five-star WR Brysen Wright. I like Miami's momentum here and this weekend's visit is a huge opportunity.

- Expect some movement in and out of the class. This staff is always monitoring senior tape. Two names playing very well: Aston Whiteside (Texas A&M commit) and Quinton Cypher (Ohio State commit).

- The Portal is a long way away, but I suspect Miami will be firmly play for any NFL-type defensive tackle prospects.

They are not writing off a Lightfoot or Blount return at all. It's October 14th so nobody really knows.

To me Blount is the one who really should come back most being super young for his class. If Lightfoot continues to impress not really sure how much upside he has to stay longer. A lot of people will say he needs to stay to keep putting on more size but at his frame he might max out around 245 anyways.

If he actually shows up I feel good about this one being a done deal. Given what's happening at A&M and the fact it was reported he may go to their citadel game. Regardless of money or whatever nobody really wants to be in that situation at A&M.

Do you even canes football recruiting bruh?

 

The Williams and Auburn crap sucks. I would guess the money will go to a portal O lineman which I’m fine with.

Auburn , that's just smoke have to believe that UGA & Bama are who we have to beat for this guy.
portal cash needs to go to OL/DL next year

Why are we reacting to this like if it’s an actual update? That has been the status for about a week. It literally says he MAY attend lol not that he will

 

What is he now 230 ? He needs to at least come back gain 15 points or even 10 and get stronger . I don’t see him going in the first round if he leaves early . I don’t see Blount or Scott going either . I see Motten what is he in year 4 .He would left after 3 prob be 5th round .

Many quotes before the season said he was approaching 240, so probably around 235 or so. I think he could benefit from another year at the U but who knows what happens if he plays really well the rest of the year and into the Playoffs. Pass rushers are always in demand.

 

Absolutely not getting my hopes up that MM shows up tomorrow. Waiting for the next update to say, "Matthews had every intention on going but forgot it was his grandfathers 85th surprise birthday party that same night and of course he couldnt miss it but plans on maybe catching a home game later in the year if schedule permits".. Over and out. Done and done. Stick a fork in this.

Now if he does show up......................................all bets are off.

If he attends the game, then he confirms he's soured on the Elko Eraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

flip both MM and the LB commit of theirs and we'll for sure get some Elko media meltdown comments

 

He’d have to play insane ball to finish the season to go R1 imo. Not a knock on him as a player. Just a lot of good ends this year. And next year he’d be the unquestioned #1 end here. Pre NIL he’d be as good as gone.

His production is very good, his measurables are top tier & he will kill at the combine. He will be a 1st or 2nd round pick if he stays healthy this year. He could move into top of the draft next year so there is a legit conversation to be had with him & his people.

 

With how much guys are getting paid in college, wouldn’t surprise me if some our d line stays and continue to develop under JT. Honestly we’re probably paying more than most of these rookie contracts

Let’s finish this
