The #2 OG in the country, Eddie Pierre-Louis, will be on campus for an unofficial visit today.

Huge development in his recruitment. Things seemed to stall for some time between the staff and Pierre-Louis, but mutual has picked back up and Miami is now set to make his final five schools, which should be coming out soon.

He still has multiple official visits likely coming up in the early part of the season. His visit later today will be big in Miami securing one of those spots.

He talked about the relationship & resume of Cristobal and Mirabal being the biggest factors in Miami making the cut.

How is his rehab coming? Look like he can contribute this season?

American Heritage Plantation 2025 RB Deandre Desinor was on campus today, spending time with running backs coach Tim Harris Jr. The pipeline continues to build with Heritage (James Williams, the Brown brothers, Daryl Porter Jr., Mark Fletcher) and Desinor plus fellow four-star 2025 RB Byron Louis are likely the next targets up out of the local power. He has now made multiple trips to campus despite no offer, showing that there is 100% interest on his end.

He has the standing in the 2025 class - top 150 recruit, top three player at his position, elite production (1800 yards, 20+ touchdowns as a sophomore). Would not be surprised to see an offer come sooner than later. Florida State and Ole Miss (former Miami RBs coach Kevin Smith) are the two schools likely leading his recruitment right now.

Any updates on the targets that will be visiting this weekend?

Saw Lawayne McCoy will be at the U this weekend!

Major 2025 target Waden Charles is set to be on campus tomorrow for an unofficial visit. Charles has made Miami a priority and likely sit at the top of his offered schools right now. A top schools list is coming during the season and I would not be surprised to see him be the first commit in 2025 by the end of the season.

It is a loaded group heading to Coral Gables. Going to be a camp in the morning then a BBQ/Pool Party type atmosphere after. 20+ four or five-star prospects are set to be in attendance. A ton of commits there, too.

Also hearing progression on potentially five-star Ryan Wingo and four-star Dallas Wilson coming down for a visit. Would be huge additions for wide receiver in this class.

Western 2025 four-star Koby Howard to be on campus Friday for an unofficial visit. One of the first chances for him to really spend time with wide receivers coach Kevin Beard.

Howard recently moved down to South Florida and has personal and family interest in Miami. Competing with Clemson, Ohio State, Colorado, FSU, Florida and others right now.

Will the conference be able to keep up with the times?

Is he finally visiting for the BBQ? and how do you guys think we’re doing there, leading?

Thoughts?

Based on the comments this week from Brett Venables it leads me to believe that there are some underlying recruiting wars going on between the two programs.

Miami did flip Kaleb Spencer from Oklahoma in the last recruiting cycle and the Sooners beat Miami for Jayden Jackson this week. It's going to be a Miami battle for five-star David Stone as well.

But the fact that Venables had to call out two specific scores that cut the deepest for Hurricanes fans last season seems the hate for Miami and maybe Cristobal was deeply rooted. But I struggled to find anything that would indicate that there is something deeper than just recruiting scars. Which leads me to believe that the hate is just real for Miami.

Reasons to Hate Miami Sports

Is it the beautiful women, the beaches the weather that people hate about Miami? Or is Miami just not American enough with the many transplants from other states and countries? I definitely think it's both of those things and the history of Miami sports that really grinds their gears. Shout out to Family Guy.

The Miami Dolphins - as a relatively new team in the sixties Miami would win not only a championship in the early years of its existence but go undefeated in doing so. To this day, the only NFL team to finish a season undefeated.

The Miami Heat - The Heatles era of Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh is arguably one of the most hated teams in the history of the NBA because of Lebron's exaggeration of how many championships they would win. Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five. rant will live in infamy.

The Miami Marlins - Another franchise that just got here and won championships that many consider were "bought" teams. They outshined teams that have been around for seemingly hundreds of years and some Marlins teams had to come and show them how it's done.

The Florida Panthers - Well, no one hates the Panthers (except the Boston Bruins from the last postseason) because they haven't won a Stanley Cup yet. But when they do, watch out.

Inter Miami - The chosen franchise of arguably the greatest soccer player of all time. We'll see how much the hate grows there.

The Miami Hurricanes - probably the most hated of them all. You either love the Hurricanes or you hate the Hurricanes. There's no in-between. Miami fully came onto the college football scene with a brashness that was not really seen in the sport and on top of that the Canes won and won big and let people know about it.

If you haven't seen the U documentary, shame on you.

Perhaps it was the 1988 Hurricanes that started it all by wearing the fatigues to the defacto national championship game against Penn State and Heisman winner Vinny Testaverde picked the worst day to have his worst game. I guess then it was fun for the country to root against the bad guy, the villain, that was the Miami Hurricanes. And here we are nearly 40 years later and it is still an adrenaline rush to hate on the Hurricanes.

The lack of filled stadiums to watch a middle-of-the-road team in the past 20 years doesn't help Miami's case either. The nation considers Miami fans "not real fans" because they don't endure the pain of sitting in the stands in 90-degree heat to watch a team they used to watch dominate in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s get blown out by the likes of Middle Tennessee State and others.

The hate is certainly something that Miami fans embrace and certainly will never go away.

The easy answer in St. Thomas Aquinas because they have the most championships. But who you would you say has the best program right now?

How we feeling after he decommited from Georgia?

Was looking at his rivals page and saw that Miami’s offer wasn’t on there. Tried to make fanfuturecast because I think we have a real good shot at landing him. Do you guys have any insight into his recruitment?

Miami is still recruiting four-star safety Jaylen Heyward after his decommitment from Georgia. This was a flip that was a long time coming, something he mentioned Miami expected since his official visit this summer. Everything I am hearing is that Miami is all-in on Zaquan Patterson and feel good about where they are at the cornerback position but would take Heyward as a compliment to Patterson.

UCF, Auburn, Michigan and Colorado are schools I am watching with Heyward, as they were on him even before his decommitment same as Miami. I like where Miami is at here, though. I do think this will not be a recruitment that flips quickly and there will be some fall visits on the mantel.
