Both guys will have to hold their weight in recruiting but it will be interesting to see what position coach Mario values more as a recruiter. Have seen him go down the experienced RB coach path with Jim Mastro at Oregon. Some strong options for ace recruiters with South Florida ties, plus the WR room probably needs more of a teacher right now. The offense, if successful, can probably recruit itself.

Overlooked no longer, Tampa talents are being recognized:

Huge hire. Proven developer at the RB spot since 2015. Turned D'Vonte Price and Anthony Jones into NFL caliber backs. Has had a three-man rotation the last two years that have produced 1700+ yards and 17+ touchdowns in both seasons. Stealing Harris away from what will be a P5 school with an elevated title is big. He comes home where he will develop a strong stable of backs and be able to recruit South Florida with ease.

History shows his is.

Henderson is planning a spring visit to UM.

Caught up with the Rivals250 ATH, who has a Top 5 of Colorado, Oregon, Tennessee, Ohio State, and Michigan. He will be taking spring visits to Alabama and Miami though.

A look at a long list here:

He has decided to stay at Marshall. Tim Harris Jr. likely still on the table. Doubt Seider comes. Clock is ticking on the February dead period.

Breath some life into here. Get your guys to drink some beers, get some players from the last ten years as guests, etc. put on a show. Something. Personality, entertainment, color, excitement. Anything.

You guys tried it at first and it was awful. You aren’t walter Cronkite. You’re not computers importing info and then exporting info like a damn computer. You’re human beings, so have some fun and do what you love. It’ll show, I promise.

Miami running back Don Chaney Jr. was in a car accident Friday, but fortunately, he is not injured and is doing well.

The Air Raid is coming to Miami.

Southeast recruits give insight on how NIL is discussed with prospects.

Come join the space tonight! Starting at 6 sharp. Great chance to talk about the new hires, the opening, 2024 prospects and more.

American Heritage 2026 duo WR Brandon Bennett & ATH Zamarii Sanders picked up Miami offers today.

They finished one and two at the prestigious Louie Bing Track Meet. Bennet ran 10.43 while Sanders ran a 10.4. Elite speed and times in their first high school track meet.

South Florida has two pass rushers that fit what this staff is looking for from a size and production standpoint and could pick up Miami interest very soon

Crothers plays for a pipeline program, is 6'4" 235-pounds and had 14.5 sacks this season. He has seen his recruitment pick up since the beginning of 2023. Miami is going to want to keep Chaminade in their back pocket for future prospects and Crothers is a local gem that would keep them in the good graces of the program. He will hit 20 offers before he signs - a rise that might be similar to Edwin Joseph.

Rudolph is an elite prospect that basically falls in Miami's lap. Talking to his high school coach, the contact has been kicked off with Miami since he moved down. New LB coach Derek Nicholson is familiar with him from his short time with Cincy and actually coached his high school coach from Taft (Ohio). He just picked up FSU and will likely pop Florida soon, as well. Do not be surprised to see him become a player that starts trending Miami's way.

The RB coach search is likely to end up like the LB coach search - wide ranging and someone who is likely poached from another team, much like Kevin Smith was. Who are some names you guys feel would be a fit?

There were several instances this off-season where a coaching opening could have been filled with an off-field coach.

Defensive Coordinator - Charlie Strong
WR Coach - Pop Cooney
LB Coach - Sabbath Joseph

Plus DVD has had the opportunity to be moved up to DB/CB coach if Strong would have gotten the job. Do you think Cristobal ever looks in house on future hires? Would you have been happy as a fanbase with an internal hire at any of those spots? It is an intriguing conversation because of the potential bonus in recruiting that the listed names provide.
