There is a lot of discussion Mark Richt’s first full year recruiting class. He was on the job less than two months when the class of 2016 was signed. The Hurricanes were able to sign three consensus top 100 recruits for the class of 2017.

There are a countless number of questions in any recruiting class. The class of 2017 is no different. Will a starting Quarterback come from this class? Who is ready to make an immediate impact? Who has the most pro potential? Who is the best play maker?

Miami has a varying level of talent and readiness in the Class of 2017. Mark Richt and his staff did a great job with what is widely considered to be a consensus top 15 recruiting class. Massive Offensive Nauvaughn Donaldson, Wide Receiver Jeff Thomas and Defensive Lineman D.J. Johnson are ranked in the top 75 players in the country.

Quarterback N’Kosi Perry is also generating a lot of buzz and could challenge for a starting spot this season. Richt said of Perry “he runs like a deer”.

Other players like DeeJay Dallas, Jonathan Garvin and Mike Harley have the potential to become marque names as Miami Hurricanes. The spring game should be interesting. Nearly half of the Class of 2017 enrolled last month.
