Miami Is Trending For Blue Chip Linebacker & Safety | Decisive Week? | Hurricanes "Under Pressure"

The Miami Hurricanes have become the trending leaders in recruiting for four star linebacker Gavin Nix and four star safety Hylton “Drake” Stubbs. They are both scheduled to make announcements this week. Nix will announce his verbal pledge on July 1st, while Stubbs will announce on Independence Day. Will Miami get good news for both? Stubbs recently decommitted from the USC Trojans and Miami has been battling with the Florida Gators for him. The Hurricanes might also get some good news this week for standout class of 2026 quarterback Dereon Coleman. Coleman is set to announce on Wednesday and the Hurricanes have been his trending leader.
Host Alex Donno talks with Locked On Network recruiting expert Brian Smith about where the Hurricanes stand with these top targets. The Hurricanes have also been trending for four star interior offensive lineman Seuseu “SJ” Alofaituli. He hasn’t scheduled a date for his announcement, but Miami recently earned an RPM prediction from top On3 Sports expert Steve Wiltfong. Smith was just out at Under Armour Future 50, covering the top class of 2026 prospects. He gives Donno the scoop on top athlete Derrek Cooper and other players Miami is in the mix for. Donno and Smith react to a report from PFF College on how Miami is one of the top five programs “under pressure” for this coming football season.

Best roster since 2003 in my opinion. 10 wins or more let’s goooooo

[@theonlyseparation464]

This roster is way better than 2017

[@RaisedCane-qn3ts]

I believe this 2024 team is more talented and more motivated than the 2017 team. The O line should dominate, and the QB will have a much easier job.

[@AffirmativeAffirMATE]

Way more. We had better DTs then. Norton and Mac were nasty. The most Miami thing I’ve seen was Norton playing the leg guitar. That was the nastiest ish I’ve seen since I started watching in 2004

Boys up north feeling froggy about recruiting in July. We’ve seen how this movie ends before. They never learn. 😂

[@JohnnyBushwhacker-yv6bc]

@Herb___ Kinda like Mario getting his top recruit stolen by Deion or Norvell stealing your top DT? Don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back for past failures. 🤡🧃🤡🧃

[@stephenhill1131]

Best DT? How did he work out for you last year?😂😂 I think you must still be hurt about blount telling you guys to kick rocks lmao

[@JohnnyBushwhacker-yv6bc]

@stephenhill1131 Couldn’t care less about a 16 year old double charging Miami to flip him back. Miami got played for a fool nothing new. 😂

[@stephenhill1131]

@@JohnnyBushwhacker-yv6bc that wasn't the same thing you were saying when you thought you had flipped him 🤣🤡 #Delusional #CopingMechanism

[@Herb___]

@@JohnnyBushwhacker-yv6bc Mario had a hunch that the kid would not live up to expectations, so he didn't aggressively recruit him. Conversely, FSU was left feeling humiliated when Deion Sanders swooped in and stole what became the top college football cornerback at the last minute. As Norvell enters his sixth recruiting cycle, he has only recently secured a couple promising verbal commitments from DTs. In contrast, Mario, in his second cycle, has already managed to recruit the top defensive line class in the country. And that's not all - Mario not only has his pick of the litter, but he also gets Norvell to handle his administrative tasks. Just look at Blount for proof. ACC chumps / Secretaries 😂😂😂

with all the ogfseason money spent on this roster anything less than 10 wins would be a cryin shame. we need to hold 9nto Melendez I saw his film dang he'll hurt cha.

His announcement is in October. Miami, Oregon, UGA, LSU,

[@emcdonald4994]

Miami needs to show that it can now coach up their players. So far,NFG. Players we have, coaches and coaching are real concerns

[@kcdgcarter]

Tavares fl lol

[@miamihilbink]

Are we confident that Mario's "Gameday management" is much better than the last two years?

[@LockedOnCanes]

We’ll find out

[@sterlingday5122]

Even with Mario's game day coaching, if we had a decent QB last season we could've won 10 games.

[@alfredosenalle9284]

​@sterlingday5122 Exactly ! Also , many people don't know that Mario doesn't call plays. Like Nick Saban said himself , "you're only as good a head coach as your OC and DC are."

[@happyevelyn]

No matter how they recruit they cant crack the top 25.

[@jacoblittlequigs]

We literally are already in the top 25 for next year😂😂
