The Miami Hurricanes seem to always be attacking on the recruiting trail under Mario Cristobal.
Commitments, therefore, perpetually seem to be right around the corner.
Currently, the recruiting industry is buzzing with predictions of another big-time commitment for Crisotbal’s program.
Both On3 and 247Sports have made a series of predictions that Miami will soon land West Boca Raton (Florida) four-star running back Javian Mallory.

The 5-foot-11, 200-pound ball-carrier is rated the nation’s No. 257 overall prospect and No. 21 running back and has garnered scholarship offers from 50 schools.
The list of suitors is eye-opening – Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, Stanford, Tennessee, USC and others.
Over his first three high school seasons, Mallory has rushed for 3,221 yards and 38 touchdowns, averaging more than 10 yards per carry each of the past two seasons.
So, why Miami? Why now?
Over the weekend, Mallory earned RB MVP of The UA Camp and said he’ll be back on Miami’s campus Monday.

“I love the Hurricanes,” he told CaneSport. “I love Miami.”
Mallory told On3’s Chad Simmons that the Hurricanes “stand out the most,” and he has built a strong relationship with both the coaching staff and the fanbase.
While other programs, most notably Florida, are still working hard to keep the Mallory-Miami marriage a projection and not a reality, it certainly seems as though the Canes are in an excellent to land the talented in-state ball-carrier.
Overall, Miami finished the 2025 recruiting cycle with the nation’s No. 13 overall recruiting class, headlined by Oaks Christian (California) five-star edge-rusher Hayden Lowe and bolstered by Armwood (Florida) four-star running back Girard Pringle Jr.
So far in 2026, the Hurricanes have three commitments, highlighted by a pair of four-star recruits – Miami Carol City linebacker Jordan Campbell and Myers Park cornerback Camdin Portis.
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians was set to expire at midnight tonight, until a federal judge in Washington, D.C. blocked it Monday evening.
Leaders in Florida said no place would have been impacted more than Miami-Dade County where so many Haitians live and work.
Nancy Mateyer Bowen is the Vice Mayor of Coral Springs and the Florida Democratic Party. She’s a proud Haitian-American, but she said she knows Haiti is not a place people can return to right now.
“Haiti is facing some of the most dangerous conditions in its modern history, worsening gang violence, sexual violence, food insecurity and mass displacement,” she said.

Together with other party leaders, she said that Tuesday is a day to celebrate. A federal judge blocked the decision to end TPS for Haitians.

“The impacts, specifically in Miami-Dade County and South Florida will be tremendous,” President of the Florida Democratic Party Nikki Fried said. “Not only the ripping apart of our communities, but our small business owners.”
North Miami is home to the largest Haitian community in the United States.
North Miami Mayor Alix Desulme said the streets of North Miami have been noticeably empty. As a Haitian-American, he said he understands why people are afraid.
“The lawlessness, it’s bad so it’s not a situation for any human being,” he said.
And in Little Haiti at Notre Dame D’haiti, Father Reginal Jean said there’s damage already done.

“There are many people that did quit their jobs,” Father Jean said. “There are many young people from the church who went back to Brazil or Chile, to Haiti. There are many families that decided to go because it’s unbearable for them.”
On Saturday, while visiting Miami, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem addressed TPS saying it was always meant to be temporary, and individuals should look for other programs they qualify for.
There is a candlelight vigil at the Little Haiti Cultural Center at 6 p.m. Tuesday to pray for those living with the uncertainty.

Authorities said the attack happened just before 7:45 p.m. Sunday near the 1500 block of Douglas Road. The suspect, Milutin Siriski, lives in the area.
An arrest report from the Miami Police Department states that the woman was parked along the sidewalk when Siriski, a 46-year-old born in the former Yugoslavia, walked by the woman’s vehicle and stared at her.
Police said this prompted the woman to ask him “if he had a problem.”
Authorities said Siriski walked back to the woman’s car and punched her through the open window. The report states that he then “opened the driver’s door and kicked her in the stomach and pull(ed) her by the hair while she was still seated inside.”
Amid a struggle, a passerby intervened and pulled Siriski away from the victim, then restrained him until Miami police arrived, authorities said.

Police said they arrested him without incident.
Records show he was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center as of Monday morning.
