Best Mock Class Guess with some options

Hurricanes Football Recruiting
1

The * Denote my best guess at that spot

QB Brown
WR *Horton/Gibson/Wilson
WR Ibeta
TE M.Taylor/*Donaldson (looks like top TE targets looking elsewhere, I think we move on to one of these locals)
OL Carswell
OL *Richardson/*Agbo/Hood/Armelia/Amaama
?OL ^^^^^^^
OL Portal
P Portal (no idea, but we have to bring one in)

DT Tarbor
DT Lyons
DE Stewart
DE Kelly
DE *Anderson/Russell/Portal
LB Blissainthe
LB Lathan/*Rice/Medlock/Jackson
CB Rogers
CB Fegans
CB Graves
?ATH Cull or *CB J.Henderson
S Williams or *D.Henderson

That’s 21 including a punter and at least 1 portal…Could see 1 less/1 more.

For the possible 1 more or a substitute for the 4th OL or 5th DB

LB- Portal or A striker option if the #2 backer above is not Lathan (who likely projects to striker)
DL - Lucas (Leave a spot no matter what)
DB- Little (Doubt it, these AH kids simply don’t like UM…legacies/coaching connections, lol nothing seems to matter w them)

Some of this is me going out on a limb and some of my * picks are basically a coin flip…For instance most think Cull is in UM’s class and I have no reason not to believe that, just maybe a bit telling he pushed back his date and UM seems to love the Henderson twins, I like as well. Medlock could indeed be UM, as could Markeith Williams…I think A.Rice can pick up some steam with a full time switch to LB.

My grades for this class would be:

QB A- (Brown a bit of a project but I’m fine with that)
WR B (Not a huge need)
TE B-
OL B
DT A-
DE A+
LB B+
CB A+
S B (Not a huge need, maybe a B+ if it’s Williams, although I like D.Henderson as well)

How many kids do we have on ship as of now?

3

No idea, lost track

I counted 92 recently and that’s with Herbert and Hillery opting back in. I actually thought they were gone for good last year. Elgammal opted out last year and hasn’t opted back in yet from what I read last week. If he’s back then 93 I suppose?

Carswell is now committed for '22. How good is he? He shows offers from Mississippi, Georgia Tech and Oregon but not many others. Being as we have no OL on board yet, I’ll take him.

92 players returning - Does this look about right?

Bold are seniors OR walk-ons that should have degrees.
Italics are kids that likely jump if they can sniff getting drafted.

These are more walk-ons that I’m pretty sure were given ships. Thus getting us to around 97 which is WAY higher than I thought. To sign 22 kids like most are projecting, we are going to have to push out some serious dead weight, walkons, seniors, and NFL kids. No wonder why Miami has been not accepting many commitments.

97- 8 seniors = 89
89- 7 walkons on ship = 82
82- 9 NFL guys = 71
71 - 8 transfers/retirements = 63 (22 spots!)

  • Ragone LB
  • Alford LB
  • Johnson WR
  • Price K
  • Griffin OL

Good work guys, I’ll sift through that for sure.

Lyons to FSU

9

UM’s home run swings could cost em…Don’t understand why we weren’t all over Lyons.

this was a big mistake by this staff. hope they’re not thinking they’ll get Lucas because i don’t see that happening. Lyons at FSU makes me sick to my stomach

11

Holley transfers out…Cam Williams is suspended for the year if not transferring out as well. Also Blissett is long gone, and of course we all know A.Williams gone.

12

The sad truth, we have taken 2 kids for ‘22 already. Thus, signing 22 kids would require 6 more transfers if we use the above numbers.

13

We’ll end up between 20-22 imo.
