00:00 24/7 sports has finished all of their updates for the class of 2024.
00:04 Not only does Miami have the top defensive line class in the country.
00:08 Jason Taylor co defensive line coach was the top recruiter in the ACC and the
00:16 number four recruiter in all of America.
00:18 And I'm not forgetting about big Joe Salovea either.
00:21 Cause big Joe was instrumental, especially for guys like Justin Scott,
00:25 who's actually the top rated player in that defensive line class and our
00:29 Tavius Jones, we've told many of the stories here on the podcast about how
00:32 big Joe and our Tavius were able to click, but the hall of famer JT.
00:38 He's brought Miami's defensive line recruiting to another freaking level.
00:43 Do you remember back?
00:44 I don't know.
00:45 Around September, Miami had missed out on some D line guys.
00:49 Things were looking grim for a while.
00:51 And the rival fan bases, the Gator fans, the Seminole fans, they started to pipe
00:56 up and they were trolling us saying this Jason Taylor, he can't recruit.
01:00 How overrated is this guy?
01:02 Miami's defensive line class is going to be an embarrassment.
01:05 Well, December rolls around.
01:08 The trolls got awfully quiet.
01:10 Miami is the only team in the country who pulled in five defensive linemen
01:16 ranked in the top two, four, seven, the top 24, seven players at 24, seven sports.
01:21 Miami has four defensive linemen in the top one 50 that's tied for most in
01:25 America, Justin Scott ranked number 11 overall that's overall players.
01:30 Not just defensive linemen, number 11 rated overall player Marquise
01:34 Lightfoot, number 34 overall Armando blunt, number 39 Booker Pickett Jr.
01:40 Who we still think is underrated at number one 42 overall, by the way,
01:45 folks, if you missed our conversation yesterday with Booker Pickett,
01:49 senior father of Booker Jr.
01:51 It was an all timer that was, uh, and I'm not even giving myself credit
01:55 here because Booker was awesome.
01:57 The truth teller was really good.
01:58 He was part of that conversation as well.
02:00 Truth teller is the one who knows Booker and was able to help us get him on the show.
02:04 Uh, if you missed our episode with Booker Pickett senior, it was fantastic.
02:08 And he talked about how relentless Mario Cristobal and Jason Taylor
02:12 were in the recruitment of his son.
02:15 And he said it, that Miami recruiting machine is even, it's even better than
02:20 fans realize and even bigger than fans talk about when it comes to the level
02:24 of communication, text messages, phone calls, the way they pull out all the
02:28 stops with official and unofficial visits.
02:31 I'm really, really happy with the way Miami is recruiting and Jason
02:34 Taylor has become a huge part of that.
