Am I reading the national signing day reports correctly that Miami signed a kid from Delaware?

No matter what I hope next year’s Miami game in South Bend is a biblical, scorched earth scenario.
Potential positive scenarios for Miami:
-BYU L, Bama W: ND locked at 10, directly compared to UM, flips on H2H.
-BYU L, Bama L: ND to 9, Bama to 10, UM to 11. UM directly compared to Bama — Miami favored by metrics, W vs. common opponent.
BYU W, Bama L: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Daniel Clowes’s MONICA (and VELVET GLOVE… before that); Jeff Vandermeer’s SOUTHERN REACH series; Roque Larraquy’s COMEMADRE; a fair amount of Coen Brothers films and Takashi Miike flicks as well; Bong Joon-ho’s MEMORIES OF MURDER; Villaneuve’s ENEMY; THE CHAIR COMPANY (only half joking on that one!)
Are there any other examples except for True Detective season 1, Eyes Wide Shut and 2666 of texts in which there seems to be some terrible cosmic horror behind the everyday, but it is barely glimpsed?

Movie wants badly to be the Terrence Malick version of a perfect novella by one of my favorite authors and yet like everything Netflix touches it is lacking in translation: too literal, not majestic enough, and the ending is not true to the book in a way that violates its meaning. (Also hi me!)
