Kaleb Spencer Flips From Oklahoma To Miami (You read that right)

Miami gained another surprise commitment to the 2023 class with three-star safety Kaleb Spencer late Friday evening. Spencer flipped from the Sooners Friday evening. The timing was unexpected for the Miami staff.

Spencer, a Virginia native, is a dynamic athlete that also played linebacker and visited Miami for the North Carolina game. He is the first official safety on the board for Miami. A concerning situation at DB that looked bleak just earlier this week is all of a sudden a strength. Miami now has the 7th-ranked class, tops in the ACC and Florida.

He committed to Oklahoma in May of this year. He also held offers from Boston College, Duke, Louisville, LSU, Michigan State, Penn State, Pitt, Tennessee, Virginia, and Virginia Tech.

These kids are already buying in and haven't practiced on Greentree yet.

Commits and Prospects Saying All the Right Things


Our guy Geo Millian got a chance to speak to some recruits at the game and it was overwhelmingly positive despite the result. I think many kids are seeing the potential of coming to Miami over the short term success.

Miami Central vs Columbus Breakdown


Central is loaded with players that need to be Miami focuses. Stanquan Clark and Rueben Bain are the obvious names but LaWayne McCoy is part of the Miami Gardens Ravens group that needs to be the core of 2024. He was exceptional at receiver despite playing with multiple division one targets in the same offense.

On defense, Central has upwards of seven underclassmen that should have a Miami offer already, even if just a speculative offer.

Columbus 2024 WR Jose Leon is another player from that Miami Gardens Ravens group that is so good. He will explode in recruiting sooner than later. Could be a faster version of Restrepo.

DO NOT DOUBT MARIO - CORMANI TO MIAMI

In a complete surprise to everyone, the top cornerback in the country Cormani McClain commits to the Canes

He is the biggest cornerback commit in program history and staffer Demarcus Van Dyke deserves a ton of praise for this relationship with Cormani and his mom. This completely overshadows the current landscape of the season and proves Miami can still save a top 5 class in 2023 with momentum going into 2024

WORST LB CORE

We have the worst LB core in college. Corey Flagg gets killed all the time. He is either out of assignment or he can't read where to go he always takes bad angles and gets blocked easily. Keyontra Smith just can't cut it he is a better player than Flagg but it's time for this old group to go bring some new energy. They can't tackle worth a damn. Also James Williams needs to learn the technique of tackling all he has is aggression and a lot of time that has him doing stupid penalties or trying to tackle with a shoulder and missing the tackle.

This is about to be a long season but I know there is light at the end of this tunnel.

Is it the coaching? The players? Both?

I think Miami still has the right guy. Cristobal was brought in to change the program, not win a championship with a Manny Diaz roster in year one. You see the growth from a number of the players this staff has brought in. I think the talent evaluation has drastically improved under the new regime and the pieces (Highsmith, Radakovich) are in place for a bright future. The NIL game is still in Miami's favor and that will be huge in recruiting.

Patience and support will be needed going forward if this staff is going to have any chance. Once the full overturn happens, I fully expect this team to take the necessary steps forward
