He

Richt was generally slow to offer in the past. Interesting that is changing.

yea he had mentioned recently that the game has changed. part of the reason he went half vets/half youth for the coaching staff. Thomas Brown is 29, the safeties coach is 27. corners coach is early 30s

theres already a number of offers to '18 kids, seems like he wants to get 20 or so firm commits by the time the season starts. then let the national/game-playing kids decide the final part of the class. i like that strategy

From Ariz on CiS

**Today was Miami’s first junior day under Mark Richt. Check here for a list of visitors and general updates from the day (shoutout to @Geo305 and @ErickMarreroU for their work) - https://www.canesinsight.com/thread/...ndees/97492/15 - This edition of the work will focus on insider's notes from today's happenings.

**Potentially the biggest development from today is Miami making an extremely positive move with Daytona Mainland Safety Cyrus F'agan, who is the #2 safety in the country according to 247. F'agan made the trip for junior day with both of his parents. Not only were F'agan and his family there for the day, but they also stayed afterwards for the baseball game with Safeties Coach Ephraim Banda. The Canes believe that this visit has moved them right near the top for F'agan.

**Miami is the frontrunner for Palm Beach Gardens safety Amari Carter and today only strengthened their chances. Commitment watch looming.

**Mater Academy CB Latavious Brini was offered by Miami last week and I mentioned it would be a battle for him. Brini was up in Tallahassee this weekend but will be on Miami’s campus this upcoming Thursday with his parents. Canes feeling confident here and that would be a huge pickup. Brini has the length that this staff is looking for. Banda is on him hard.

--Sidenote: Banda is absolutely killing it from what I’ve been told. He is a star on this staff from a recruiting standpoint.

**Norland Offensive Tackle Kadeem Telfort is currently a UF commit, but was previously committed to the Canes. He was on campus today and Miami believes that they are right in the thick of things for him. A flip would not surprise me. Telfort is a top priority for OL Coach Stacy Searels.

**Kathleen LB Ventrell Miller is a big target for the Canes right now. The defensive staff absolutely loves him. In a year that linebacker numbers will be small, Miller is a take for Miami and they like their chances after today.

**N’Kosi Perry decommitted from Miami a couple weeks ago, but he is the top target by far at the quarterback position right now. Mark Richt is a huge believer in Perry, so that should silence some talk that the new staff dropped Perry. Let me make that clear – Perry is one of the top prospects on Miami’s board for 2017 – all positions included.

**STA WR Trevon Grimes was in attendance for today’s junior day. Ohio State is the favorite, but Miami will not go down without a fight and it is important to note that Grimes is listening – this is not a one-way thing.

**This next sentence should be music to Canes fans ears. The defensive board consists solely of prospects from the state of Florida. Manny Diaz is making it an absolute priority to recruit Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach before all else. He does not want to have to look out of the state for kids. Now does that mean there won’t wind up being an out of state signee in this class? Of course not, but this is the philosophy that Canes fans and even outsiders have suggested should be used for years.

im not going to post much about '18 commits, way too far away, but CB Gilbert Frierson committed. shares bloodlines with Gore and Perryman, local coaches think hes the best DB in the state as of right now. the thinking has been S Fla has 3 of the best in the nation, Al Blades Jr. and Patrick Surtain Jr. are also potential 5* that the coaches are heavy on

theres no way Al Blades goes anywhere unless the next 2 years are disastrous

looks like JC Jackson ain't coming, but we are going after a graduate transfer corner who played in Diaz' defense before (a big bonus)

and there's rumors that AJ Leggett from Marshall (committed to the U 4 years ago but had grade problems) is also trying to come here for a year, but that hasn't been confirmed

yea, hes a S tho. at best it would free up Jaquan to play some slot if necessary

the cb situation isnt an easy fix, we have to get constant pressure and hope Redwine makes a leap. not sure whats up with Jackson but it doesnt look like thats happening

Through a school press release, sophomore tight end Jerome Washington announced Wednesday that he “has elcted to leave the Hurricanes’ football program in order to pursue other options.” UM coach Mark Richt said he supports Washington’s decision to “step away from football.”




Washington, who played in nine games in 2015 after his transfer from junior college, saw most of his action on special teams. He caught one pass for 13 yards, Sept. 11 at Florida Atlantic.

The reasons why he’s leaving the game — or what he plans to do — are as unclear as of now.

Miami’s tight end group is one of the ACC’s most loaded. Returning redshirt sophomore David Njoku showed immense potential last year. Junior Chris Herndon and senior Stan Dobard also expect to play prominent roles for Richt, who opens his first session of spring practice as Miami coach on March 15.

While he didn’t make an impact on the field last year, Washington was praised by new tight ends coach Todd Hartley when assessing his unit, which by the summer will include incoming freshman Jovani Haskins, Michael Irvin II. In a signing day interview,Hartley was asked about Njoku, who UM believes will be a high-round NFL draft prospect. He took care to mention the others and Washington as large, athletic players whom he feels “very blessed” to be able to coach.

“Jerome is a wonderful young man and I wish him the very best with his future endeavors,” Richt said in the press release. “I fully support his decision to step away from football and I look forward to watching his career path unfold.”

Washington, listed at 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds, was the No. 1-rated junior college tight end in 2015 by major recruiting services. He attended Mercer (N.J.) Community College and played for Gattaca Football, a club team in nearby Trenton, N.J.


Washington (247Sports)

He was a virtual unknown in recruiting circles after graduating from Stony Brook (N.Y.) High in 2013. He spent a post-graduate season at The Gunnery in Washington, Conn. Before committing to UM in Nov. 2014, Washington was contacted by coaches from Alabama, Nebraska, Rutgers and Washington.

“Playing football at the University of Miami was a wonderful experience, but at this time, I feel it is in my best interest to step away from the game,” Washington said. “I can’t thank this institution enough for allowing me the opportunity to play college football at the highest level.”

as a Jersey guy i was pulling for Jerome, but he was blocked from ever starting

Njoku has superstar potential, Herndon has grown alot as a H-back/TE, and we got Haskins/Lil Irvin in this class and Kemore Gamble (and others) in the '17 class. we'll be cool @ TE. Dobard has been a bust but sometimes senior years wake dudes up. he needs to stick it out and contribute its not the teams fault Njoku broke out

btw, his brother Evidence is a very interesting prospect. Hartley will close on him soon Evidence Njoku, Cedar Grove , Wide Receiver
