All the updates and discussion surrounding Miami’s hits and misses on the recruiting trail in one place

State of the U Illustration by Mike Meredith

Welcome to the Early Signing Period, Canes fans!

This living document will be updated with every signee today, as well as the decisions of other Canes targets as well.

5:15pm Update

Just housekeeping here.

4-star CB Earl Little Jr — son of Earl Little who played at Miami — signed with Alabama, as expected.

5-star DL Anthony Lucas, whose parents went to Miami as students, not athletes, signed with Texas A&M, as expected.

5-star DE Marvin Jones Jr, an FSU legacy, signed with Georgia over his father’s alma mater. Yet another in a long line of whiffs for FSU on the trail today.

Steve Wiltfong from 247sports noted that Miami is making a late run at 4-star DL Gracen Halten from San Diego. Halten is committed to Oregon and was recruited by Cristobal there. So the coach is looking to bridge a gap on the roster by potentially pulling one of the players committed to him on the West Coast over to the East Coast. Stay tuned here.

2:55pm Update

Everything’s coming up Miami! Ft. Lauderdale (FL) Dillard 4-star DE Nyjalik Kelly picks Miami over a host of blue chip programs!

Kelly has also officially signed with Miami.

Oh, and also, Kelly’s HS teammate Devaughn Mortimer flipped.....from FSU to Louisville. LMAOOOOO yet ANOTHER L for Norvell and Co. on the trail today.

I love it!

1:05pm Update

Late rising CB Jaden Harris (Atlanta Riverwood HS) has committed to Miami over Georgia Tech, Kansas State, and Mizzou!

Harris has also officially signed with Miami.

12:20pm Update

CB Khamauri Rogers has officially signed with Miami.

12:15pm Update

In the biggest recruiting stunner maybe EVER, #1 overall recruit Travis Hunter flips from Florida State to Deion Sanders’s Jackson State on signing day. No. That is NOT a typo. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMGGGGGGG

FSU IS IN SHAMBLES AND YOU LOVE TO SEE IT!!!!

10:15am Update

LB Wesley Bissainthe officially signed with Miami.

9:50am Update

4-star OT Julian Armella, thought by most to be signing with FSU today, has pushed back his signing date to February. The Miami native has played at St. Thomas Aquinas and Columbus, and Miami has been connected to his recruiting for multiple years. Not saying this is directly going to lead to a flip from his presumed destination to Miami, but Armella pushing things back COULD open the door for Miami and new coach Mario Cristobal to push here.

9:30am Update

S Markeith Williams officially signs with Miami.

8:45am Update

WR Isaiah Horton officially signs with Miami

And I must have missed it while sleeping or working on Notebooks, but Sandersville (GA) 3-star OT Falentha “Flip” Carswell lived up to his name, and flipped his commitment from Miami and signed with Ole Miss.

8:30am Update

QB Jacurri Brown is the first to officially sign with Miami today.

CB Chris Graves was the next to sign. Late SEC interest was noteworthy here, but he sticks with the Canes.

Miami has a very small class at the moment with just 7 players committed heading into the day. However, there are several big fish Mario Cristobal is hoping to reel in starting today, but going through the rest of the early signing period this week, and into January/February for traditional signing day as well.

So hop in the comments and enjoy the day! There will be plenty of updates, and here’s hoping they’re good ones for the good guys from Coral Gables.
