Which ones are projected as interior guys in this group?
Lukusa (not Lukasa, we should try and get it right) flipped from Toldeo, right…that’s pretty solid…did we offer late?
I was surprised he was at Toledo with all their Edge offers and/or edge players on their roster? Anyway seems like a great signing.
I would guess Clark is definitely interior. The other two, I suppose it depends on how they develop their bodies and our needs.
Because I deleted that post.
Very happy to have him. Getting ends with that length always helps.
I’m going to guess Clark will be interior and the other two will be ends. Duncan could bulk and move inside, but the results we’ve had from doing that haven’t been great. Adding 40lbs quickly seems to have caused a decent number of injuries to the ends we’ve tried it with. Duncan does look to have the frame for it though if that’s something that was discussed.
Clark looks a big get…and need!
Pretty sure Duncan will start off as a TE here
It looks like Miami is going to land a top 7 Group of 5 recruiting class! I’m not counting UC, UCF, BYU or Houston as Group of 5.
Haven’t seen anything on social media or the AD website regarding a signing day show tomorrow. Not sure if Bake is lurking on this board yet or not. Maybe it’ll just be a pre-taped video like I think they did last year?
Even with Simmons coming in as a TE?
CB Devin Johnson NLI in.
WR Having Tracy is in.
WR Reggie Virgil is in.
LB Eli Coppessis in.
TE Jeffrey Simmons in.
OL Eric Smith in.
OL Gavin Rhors in.
S Rown Zolman in.
Class appears to be announced here. Class of 16. Interesting the weights on here are a little different than what is going up on Twitter.

If the above is our full class for today, I have a couple thoughts/observations:
More can sign in feb
Granted it is a relatively small class in numbers compared to our past few, and they are only 90 second highlight clips, but there is a ton to like here. Many new tools added to the toolbox!
Official release from Miami here:
They have Malachi Clark listed @ 6-3 295 already in his write-up, maybe wrong…but if correct, bodes well for future likely either way (6’2" ~290 to 300# DT)…He might see time right way along with the current group.
Pretty high MAC rating with small class, are we still #1 in MAC?
It appears from the Miami site that the NLI Signing Day Show will air live at 1:55 Eastern. Found it in the football drop down for Additional Links under Videos.
