TJ PittingerHostD$HostYeah, I should get the list pretty soon.
I haven't gotten the list yet for this game.
I know they're really trying to load it into Florida State because that is going to be a sellout.
Miami's home schedule this year, not as good as it was last year where you had Florida, you had Notre Dame.
So I think they're really trying to funnel all the recruits into that Florida State handle, a few guys from Central Michigan.
But overall, you know, number two in the country, according to 247Sports.
You're watching your current recruits, your current commits, see how they play, see if anybody's better than you thought, the same as you thought, or worse than you thought because there could always be shuffling with the class, especially when you're in a position of power like Miami.
Their quarterback commit, Izzy Abrams, maybe the best quarterback in the country out of Chicago.
I believe he's ranked number two right now, five-star player, but he is putting up consistent big performances, really carrying his team, doing exactly what you want to see him do.
So that's been positive.
And then as terms of, you know, 28's always going to be there, but 27, Miami's focus is big game hunting and really three names.
Mark Matthews, who's the maybe the number one player in the country.
I know everybody has different rankings.
Certainly number one offensive lineman in the country out of St. Thomas Aquinas, currently committed to Texas A&M.
Could that season potentially go off the rails? Their offensive line's not playing as good as it did last year.
Another guy who has, uh, argument to be the best player in the country, defensive end.
