Over the last decade, we've had several highly ranked classes, while going 5-7 and talking about how the class could contribute to the rebuild.

 

Today, we have a highly ranked class (#1 at the moment ), while this is happening ... 

:-)))

The tweet he posted about a Friday ceremony was posted 2 days ago. We just didn’t pay any attention to it then.

Not difficult when it was likely sandwiched in between multiple pages of shit.

I hope he pronounces that with a hard K

Factually incorrect as well. 

Edit - I guess he's going by 247's own ratings rather than the composite for either main site.

Wiley to Miami

[NoName 16774]

Kellen Wiley to Miami. Per Gerry Texas thought that was a done deal for them.

Texas LOVES him as a prospect per Gerry.

Gerry: Texas staff thought it was them or Maryland last night. Changed in the last ten hours he said.

Makes sense considering they just lost Nix. Probably came back with a large offer.

[Atticus 4057]

Miami didn’t even let him OV. That sucks, and now we need a LB

[Post Oak 20363]

Well fuck.

Miami doesn’t do OVs  during the season. It wasn’t specific to Wiley.

Pivoting from Pettijohn to Faraimo, and then losing both, continues to be one of the worst decisions of the cycle.

I'd argue DT recruiting and only bringing in 5-6 guys for OV's when you wanted 3-4 for this class

That's as dumb as Venables saying if you take an OV as a committed player that you are considered un committed

#1 ranked class in the country, yet still bitching about our 3rd LB take not making it in. 
 

Never change

Glad you got something to bitch about with a 1/2/3 class and a sec title game appearance the same week. Was going to be a tough week for you but you fought through. Respect. 

[Hookem2147 21506]

Bummer on Wiley. Signing 2 LB's after only taking Tyanthony Smith last year is less than ideal.

Definitely will need to add one in the portal.

Consider the brains behind the policy.

Hill, Lefau, Smith, and Barnes is a badass core group. Problem is that's pretty much all there is, assuming the people we think are leaving are leaving.

Eh, I will be shocked if Jonah Williams doesn’t end up at LB.

There's usually one or two interesting prospects that take things out to NSD2 as well. Hyper-condensed and focused recruiting cycle.

Not bringing in Chase Simms for a summer OV when we would have probably got his commitment is #1.

[GabrielsHorn 2210]

The portal makes things a lot easier to address, which the exception of a few key positions like DL that are a nightmare to get into a bidding war.

If he ends up being that good at baseball it’ll be because he’s focusing on it at the detriment to football training, in which case he’s likely buried on the depth chart anyway.  
 

it does look like early playing time at LB will be a selling point for the ‘26 class.

Nick Townsend can play LB too

Nobody is saying the class sucks. Just that there were two big misplays this past summer with LB and DT recruiting.

Playing baseball will most likely prohibit him from growing into a LB IMHO.

Lots of taking for granted going on today after we moved to #1.

I'm interested how long he plays baseball once on campus...

Guess we're going to have to move some defensive tackles to linebacker.

[Atticus 4057]

Another year of Hill, two years of lefau, two/three years of Smith, and hopefully Barnes makes it in. Could pick up one or two developmental guys in the portal to backfill.
