Are the Miami Hurricanes about to miss out on their top recruiting target? On3 Vice President Steve Wiltfong and other national recruiting experts have begun logging crystal balls in favor of Oregon to land five star cornerback DJ Pickett. Oregon and Miami have been in a tug of war for Pickett’s verbal commitment, and he’s scheduled to announce on Wednesday. Are the national pundits selling the Hurricanes short here?

Host Alex Donno and guest “The Truth Teller” Bruce Warner discuss their continued confidence in Miami landing Pickett, but they wonder what Wiltfong, Tom Loy of 247Sports, and other experts know about this process. As far as they know, Pickett has not informed Oregon or Miami of his decision. The guys discuss a new report from Action Network’s Brett McMurphy stating that the Big Ten is not interested in adding Florida State. One of the reasons he stated is because they have shown to be a “disruptive member” of the ACC. Is Miami taking the proper approach by moving in silence? Donno and Warner give their top five players on the Hurricanes this season.

The Miami Hurricanes just hosted some of the top recruits in America at their annual July cookout. The Hurricanes are making a move for five star wide receiver Jaime Ffrench. Ffrench is a high school teammate at Mandarin (Jacksonville, FL) with committed safety Hylton “Drake” Stubbs. Ffrench visited LSU on Friday before arriving at Miami on Saturday. Will this be another Hurricanes vs. Tigers battle? Miami recently beat LSU for cornerback Jaboree Antoiine after LSU bested Miami for DJ Pickett.

Miami also hosted defensive backs Ben Hanks Jr and Bryce Fitzgerald. Miami is battling the Gators for Hanks, a Florida legacy. It could come down to Miami vs UF vs FSU for Fitzgerald. Another big visitor at the cookout was Florida State verbal commit Myron Charles. Can the Hurricanes flip the four star defensive tackle? Miami managed to flip five star DL Armondo Blount from FSU on signing day last year. Host Alex Donno breaks down his major takeaways from covering the ACC Kickoff media days in Charlotte last week.

The Miami Hurricanes have landed a verbal commitment from four star wide receiver Daylyn Upshaw. The four star prospect from Phenix City, Alabama chose the Hurricanes despite interest from Auburn, FSU, Georgia, Texas and others. Upshaw put up huge numbers for Central HS last season with 59 catches for 1,185 yards and 15 touchdowns. He becomes the first committed receiver in Miami’s Class of 2025.

Host Alex Donno is joined by Locked On Network recruiting expert Brian Smith to discuss what makes Upshaw a special talent. The guys discuss where Miami now stands in the Class of 2025. Meanwhile, it’s decision week for Miami targets like DJ Pickett and Jaboree Antoine. Will Miami get more good news this week?

We are just two days away from five star cornerback DJ Pickett announcing his decision. The top cornerback in the class and top player from Florida will decide between Oregon, Miami and LSU. This recruitment has felt like a tug of war between the Hurricanes and Ducks. Who is trending? On3 Sports VP Steve Wiltfong said Monday on his “Whiparound” recruiting show that the Hurricanes could be in for a special week with their recruitment of Pickett and fellow top corner Jaboree Antoine. Wiltfong hinted that Miami might now be trending in front of the Ducks but that some big conversations will still be had between Monday and Wednesday. This one isn’t over.

Host Alex Donno wonders how big the proximity of Miami to Pickett’s home town of Tampa will be. Plus, Pickett’s uncle played for Miami in the 90’s and his cousin, Booker Pickett Jr, is now enrolled at The U. Donno explains why it’s too early to freak out about defensive line recruiting. Will Hurricanes QB Cam Ward break the single season passing yards and touchdowns records set in the 1980’s by Bernie Kosar and Steve Walsh? What will Miami’s offensive balance look like this season?

The Miami Hurricanes enter a crucial third season under Mario Cristobal. The head coach believes the culture has taken a huge step forward and he has a roster ready to compete every Saturday. Cristobal talks about the luxury of having continuity with both coordinators returning. Cristobal discusses what makes transfer quarterback Cam Ward so special. He explains how Miami’s offense will be ready to attack both through the air and on the ground. He describes what to expect from transfer running back Damien Martinez.

Mario Cristobal joins host Alex Donno. Donno also interviews Cam Ward, starting left tackle Jalen Rivers and top linebacker Kiko Mauigoa. The players describe Miami’s team goals for the 2024 season and how they can gel together as a unit. Ward describes his early impressions in Miami and why he decided to play another season in college, rather than going pro. Mauigoa made a similar decision, deciding to return to Miami. Kiko talks about the importance of playing with his younger brother, Miami’s starting right tackle Francis Mauigoa.

The Miami Hurricanes have received two new predictions for blue chip prospects in the Class of 2025, including a consensus five star defensive lineman. Gary Ferman from CaneSport On3 logged an RPM Prediction for Miami to land Iose Epenesa, the third ranked defensive lineman in the class. Steve Wilftong, On3’s VP, logged an RPM for the Hurricanes to land four star WR Daylyn Upshaw. Wilftong added a note on DJ Pickett. He heard Miami might indeed be trending for the five star defensive back. Most of the recent national smoke has been pointing Pickett to Oregon.

Host Alex Donno breaks down these new predictions and notes. Donno describes which receivers Cam Ward has already built a solid relationship with. Miami has the most talented overall roster in the ACC but can they put everything together this season? Are the Hurricanes taking a risky approach with wide receiver recruiting? Miami seems to be banking on the biggest names and out of state recruits. Miami lost out on Dallas Wilson, who reaffirmed his commitment to Oregon last night. Donno passes on the latest reports on conference realignment. Suddenly, the Big 12 is now buzzing to possibly land FSU and Clemson. Could Miami follow them?

The Miami Hurricanes continue a period described as “ten days of madness” in recruiting. The Hurricanes are in the mix to land five star cornerback DJ Pickett, four star defensive lineman Jarquez Carter, and four star cornerback Jaboree Antoine. Hurricanes staffer Dennis Smith coined the madness phrase, and has set the table for excitement within the Hurricanes fanbase. Will Miami be able to beat out Oregon and LSU for Pickett? Is Jarquez Carter now trending to Ohio State? Can Miami beat out FSU and LSU for Antoine?

Host Alex Donno and “The Truth Teller” Bruce Warner make their predictions for how Miami will fare on the trail in the next week or so. They debate the narratives that will happen if Miami beats Florida or if Miami loses to Florida. How toxic could the fans get if things don’t work out on August 31? Donno asks for caution in wide receiver recruiting. Fans are nervous now, but remember how things came together late with Miami’s top defensive line class last year? The guys discuss who could become new impact players for the Hurricanes this season.
