Per Miami Herald (same article)
"Diaz HC/UM - our team isn't far from competing for championships."
"...Jaelan Phillips, the nation’s No. 1 overall prospect in the Class of 2017 and a former UCLA Bruins defensive end, is transferring to Miami."
Per ESPN http://www.espn.com/college-footbal...linebacker-jaelan-phillips-transferring-miami Feb 22, 2019
"... Phillips, who was rated by ESPN as the nation's No. 3 overall prospect in the 2017 recruiting class, medically retired in December after two injury-plagued seasons with the Bruins.
He played in just 11 games, starting in six, and finished his UCLA career with 41 tackles, including eight for loss and 4.5 sacks. A concussion ended his 2018 season after four games."
Phillips, per the transfer portal, is still pending appeal.
Other transfers
Per ESPN (same article) - "...Phillips joins a host of recent transfers for the Canes, including -
UCLA DT Chigozie Nnoruka (Rivals 2* now listed at 6'1" 294 formerly listed at 6'3" 260 ) clearance unknown
Ohio State quarterback Tate Martell (5'11" 203 Rivals 4*. As of 3/7/19 Pending appeal/waiver to play in 2019 https://n.rivals.com/news/rival-views-should-martell-be-no-1--1 )
and
USC safety Bubba Bolden (6'3" 183 Rivals 4* cleared to play 2019 stuff done on the left coast doesn't count)
OTOH - "...Well, he was supposed to be our starting Safety and it sounds like something serious happened between he and another student that may not just get him kicked off the team, but potentially out of school." https://forums.rivals.com/threads/bubba-bolden-likely-done-at-usc.836362/
"Chris Swanson of USC247 is reporting that Bubba Bolden is facing a two-year suspension from the Trojans." https://thespun.com/pac-12/usc/bubba-bolden-suspension-details-report
Other transfers
"...Phillips will join other recently announced transfers who should lift the Hurricanes a major notch in talent level:
defensive end Trevon Hill (Virginia Tech 6'5" 228 3* cleared for 2019),
running back Asa Martin (Auburn 5'11.5" 200 4* pending appeal),
wide receiver K.J. Osborn (Buffalo 6'0" 205 4* cleared for 2019),
offensive tackle Tommy Kennedy (FCS Butler 6'5" 285 3* unknown) and
junior college punter Louis Hedley (College of San Francisco) not listed
Not sure of these statements; didn't take the time to check them out.
Phillips, Martell, Osborn, Martin and Kennedy all rank in the top 50 of the 247Sports.com transfer rankings (https://247sports.com/Season/2019-Football/TransferPortal/ ), and Phillips leads the group as the No. 3 player in the rankings."
As Gators, we know what it is like to agonize over transfer approval. No one knows what will happen with these Cane transfers.
GO GATORS !!
