Miami football gets huge recruiting win after 4-star WR changes course

2025 年 10 月 29 日 admin Leave a comment

The University of Miami football program made a major recruiting statement this week by flipping 4-star wide receiver Milan Parris from the Iowa State Cyclones. This addition boosts what’s quickly becoming one of the top receiver hauls in the 2026 recruiting class.

The move elevated the Hurricanes’ 2026 recruiting class to No. 1 in the ACC and No. 12 nationally, according to 247Sports. The announcement went viral Tuesday night when On3’s Hayes Fawcett posted the commitment edit on X (formerly known as Twitter). The post featured Parris posing in full Hurricanes gear alongside a quote regarding his decision to flip back to Miami football.

“Thanks to my family, coaches and teammates for helping me get to this point, Go Canes🙌🏽,” Parris stated.

Parris had previously committed to Iowa State in January, where he would have been the highest-rated receiver in program history. However, following a massive senior-year breakout and official visits to Oregon, Oklahoma, and Miami, the 6-foot-5, 210-pound target changed course.

This commitment gives Hurricanes receivers coach Kevin Beard his fourth Rivals300 wideout, tying Ohio State for the most in the nation. Miami’s recruiting class now includes standout players like Vance Spafford (flipped from Georgia), Somourian Wingo, and Tyran Evans.

Currently standing at 6-1 overall and bowl-eligible, the Hurricanes are seeing their on-field success translate directly into recruiting wins. According to Rivals and 247Sports, Parris ranks No. 23 among all wide receivers and is projected as a top-200 overall prospect. His blend of size, leaping ability, and deep-threat speed adds another valuable layer to an already stacked wide receiver room.

The timing of the flip was impeccable—it dropped just hours after Miami’s dominant 42-7 win over the Stanford Cardinal. Fans and recruiting analysts quickly labeled it a major victory over competing programs like Oregon and Oklahoma, both of whom were in the final mix for Parris.

Despite this recruiting momentum, Miami recently dropped from No. 2 in the national rankings following a 24-21 home loss to unranked Louisville in Week 8. Quarterback Carson Beck struggled in that game, throwing four interceptions, including a costly one in field goal range late in the fourth quarter.

The edit from Fawcett, featuring a message from the Ohio native and 2026 commit, quickly made the rounds across Miami football circles, racking up over 67,000 views in less than a day on the platform.

With this significant signing and continued on-field efforts, the Hurricanes are positioning themselves as a powerhouse in both competition and recruiting moving forward.

“Absolutely crapping their pants”: Zach Lowe Sees Warriors, Lakers, Growing Uneasy amid Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs Steep Ascension

2025 年 10 月 28 日 admin Leave a comment

Most NBA insiders projected Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs to win around 42-44 games this season. In the unforgiving Western Conference, that meant fighting for a play-in tournament spot. However, just a week into the games, analyst Zach Lowe highlighted how experts might have underrated Wemby and the Spurs.

On his podcast this Monday, Lowe spoke with fellow analyst Kirk Goldsberry about the Wembanyama-led team. He said, “Every other team, from Golden State down to the Lakers, Grizzlies, has got to be absolutely crapping their pants because the Spurs are coming for a top 6 seed, at least a fight for it. And the argument for that, as it was before the season, is that this dude is so goddamn good.”

—

Like most analysts before the season started, Lowe had predicted the OKC Thunder and the Denver Nuggets would battle for the top seed in the West. The Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, and LA Clippers were favorites to earn an outright playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Lakers, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Pelicans, and Spurs were expected to slug it out for play-in tournament spots.

The projection around the Spurs, however, has improved significantly following Victor Wembanyama’s blistering start to the season. San Antonio is off to a perfect 4-0 slate, powered by the French phenom’s stunning play. Wembanyama is currently averaging 33.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 6.0 blocks, 2.3 assists, and 1.7 steals per game.

According to Lowe, the 7-foot-5 center has been so “goddamn good” that Wemby effectively covers many of the Spurs’ loopholes, elevating the entire team.

### Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs Sit Atop the Western Conference

The San Antonio Spurs remained unbeaten after a commanding 121-103 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Monday. Victor Wembanyama contributed 24 points, 15 rebounds, and four assists, pushing the Spurs to their fourth straight win.

San Antonio now sits atop the Western Conference with a 4-0 record. The OKC Thunder, locked in a seesaw battle with the Dallas Mavericks, hold second place with a 3-0 mark.

As of press time, the Golden State Warriors, LA Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies, and LA Clippers round out the top six—all holding identical 2-1 records.

—

One of the most surprising developments this early in the season has been the Houston Rockets’ initial struggles despite boasting a jumbo roster. The Rockets own a 1-2 record, which is the second-worst in the Western Conference right now.

—

The season is still in its infancy, so a lot can change. However, based on their current form and the standout play from Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs look ready to challenge for at least a guaranteed spot in the 2026 playoffs. Fans and analysts alike should be keeping a close eye on this revitalized team as the season unfolds.

### Looking Ahead

The season is still early, so anything can happen. However, Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs look ready to challenge for at least a guaranteed spot in the 2026 playoffs. With Wembanyama leading the charge, San Antonio might finally break out of the pack and become a formidable force in the Western Conference this year.
