International Academy three-star safety\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/isaiah-thomas-163284\/\">Isaiah Thomas<\/a>, a Hurricane commit, wanted to get closer with both defensive coordinator <a href=\"https:\/\/miamihurricanes.com\/coach\/lance-guidry\/#:~:text=Lance%20Guidry%20is%20in%20his,among%20the%20nation%27s%20elite%20units.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lance Guidry<\/a> and defensive backs coach <a href=\"https:\/\/miamihurricanes.com\/coach\/jahmile-addae\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jahmile Addae<\/a> more as a player than a recruit. He believes he did just that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c1,000%,\u201d Thomas told CaneSport. \u201cCoach Guidry and I went over the timeline plans for me and stuff like that. Also, coach Addae and I got to sit in the film room, which helped me learn some things so that by the time I get there, I will know everything regarding the scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joined by his family, the 6-foot-2, 195-pound defensive back enjoyed his time in Coral Gables alongside his fellow 2024 commits.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the official visit, Thomas had the chance to become more familiar with several of his fellow Hurricanes pledges, including Baton Rouge (La.) Southern University Lab School three-star safety <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/dylan-day-154432\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dylan Day,<\/a><\/strong> who he will be living with come January.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe OV went great,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cMy family had a good time, and I had a good time. I had the chance to interact with some of the other commits, including Dylan Day, who\u2019s going to be my roommate in January. I also got to know other commits, like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/juan-minaya-150932\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Juan Minaya<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/judd-anderson-151053\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Judd Anderson<\/a><\/strong>. It was just a very chill conversation (with Dylan). Dylan is very similar to me. We talked about regular stuff, football, Louisiana, and Toronto as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While his connection with the Hurricanes staff members and his fellow 2024 commits is strong, Thomas has begun forging a bond with fellow Canadian and current Miami defensive end <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/akheem-mesidor-2338\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ahkeem Mesidor<\/a><\/strong>, who hosted him throughout the visit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAhkeem\u2019s my guy, and we have a great time hanging out,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cI talk to him weekly and I ask him how things are going at Miami. I ask him things other people wouldn\u2019t know about, and honestly, he\u2019s like my main source for information and knowledge about what it\u2019s like to be down there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With his official visit in the books and his recruitment shutdown, Thomas is now focused on not only preparing for his senior season but also his time in Miami.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s most important for me right now is that I continue to stay healthy,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cI\u2019m also getting a chance to study Miami\u2019s scheme and coach Guidry\u2019s scheme to make sure when I get there I know everything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>CaneSport\u2019s take\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Miami has done a great job from start to finish with Thomas\u2019s recruitment which has led to him effectively shutting things down and focusing on plans to be on campus in December. <\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/miami-hurricanes\/news\/miami-commit-isaiah-thomas-is-ready-to-be-a-hurricane-following-his-most-recent-visit\/\">Miami commit Isaiah Thomas is ready to be a Hurricane after bonding with coaches \u201c1,000 percent\u201d<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/admin.on3.com\/\">On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heading into his June official visit with Miami, 2024 Clearwater (Fla.)
