Miami Hurricanes Recruiting Targets as National Signing Day Nears

With National Signing Day (NSD) 2017 approaching on the horizon this Wednesday, the Caneswatch Recruit warning flag is flying high. Let’s look at some of the Miami Hurricanes remaining targets on the board with up to date predictions.

WR-Jeff Thomas

BIO– 5’10, 175lbs, East Saint Louis High School, St Louis, IL

Rank – ESPN (4- Star, #8 ranked wide receiver, ESPN TOP 300), 247Sports (4- Star, .9798 Sports Rating)

Analysis: Jeff Thomas is a field shifting speedster clocking in with a 4.38 40. Thomas’ 40 time is the fastest captured among high school wide receivers in the nation this year per ESPN. This game changing prospect was the MVP of the Under Armor All-America Game.

He had two touchdowns to lead Team Armour to a 24-21 win over Team Highlight. He became the first player in the ten year history of the game to record two touchdowns. He broke the record of Terry Hawthorne who played at Illinois and also went to East St. Louis. Hawthorne is now a secondary coach for the Flyers.

Thomas’ 148 receiving yards also set a game record. His touchdown receptions of 44 and 79 yards showed off his big play ability.  East Saint Louis High School coach Darren Sunkett is very confident in his ability to see the field early at Miami. If I was a betting man, I’d take coach Sunkett at his word.

Prediction: Miami 90%
