00:00 Maybe we can start with Shakai Mills-Knight, who's a running back I hear a lot about in terms of Miami.
00:04 Shikai's a good kid, power running back, his recruitment has blown up.
00:09 I know Auburn really likes him, Michigan, several other schools.
00:12 He would fit what Miami's looking for.
00:14 They want to play downhill football.
00:15 And that's a kid who's got options across the country now.
00:18 He's 200 pounds.
00:20 Miami, maybe they're the school for him.
00:22 Who knows?
00:23 But he's had a really good high school program.
00:24 It's a boarding school in Southern Tennessee.
00:27 I think that he would be a good fit.
00:29 So he might be the guy, maybe he's the first one that pops through the canes.
00:32 >> Yeah, and Miami seems to be trending pretty strongly with Mills-Knight at running back.
00:37 They already have a running back committed in Gerard Pringle, so they're looking for one more.
00:40 Now, another running back visitor that I mentioned, Brian,
00:44 a couple months ago seemed to be trending towards Miami.
00:47 Seems to have been trending away, though recently is Byron Lewis
00:51 out of American Heritage, 5'11", 200 pounds.
00:53 So he again fits that mold of being a powerful guy.
00:57 I've seen Lewis trending a few places, including Florida State,
01:01 lately that do not include Miami.
01:03 Do you think this one, for whatever reason, seems to be falling away from the Hurricanes?
01:08 >> Yeah, Florida State is the trendy pick.
01:11 I don't know if that's the most accurate thing.
01:14 He's a different kind of kid.
01:16 He's going to look at things from a broader perspective.
01:19 I think that's probably more day to day than like overarching for a month or so,
01:23 leaning to one school.
01:25 I think he could still end up in Miami very easily.
01:28 He's going to take his trips.
01:29 Wisconsin wants him, etc.
01:31 He's got a lot of visits he could take.
01:33 This may play out a while.
