Miami Hurricanes Recruiting Targets as National Signing Day Nears

CB- Brian Edwards

BIO – 6’3, 187lbs, Mirimar High School, Mirimar, FL

Rank- ESPN(3 star), 247 (3 star, .8631 Sports Rating)

Analysis: This tall framed DB breaks on the ball quickly and is a nightmare for taller wide outs. Edwards can also play a dividend in run support. You have to like what you see in terms of Edwards’ range and ability to fit the alley. A one time Miami commit, Edwards thoroughly enjoyed his visit to Miami and has full blessings of his Mother to once again rejoin the Miami’s Swag 17 class.

Prediction: 50/50 Miami vs. Florida battle.  After the visit to Miami I would have projected this higher. Despite Mom enjoying time with her son on their recent Miami official visit and being fully on board, anything can happen.  I am always reminded of former Arkansas recruit Alex Collins type recruitment where the son plots his own course despite mom’s wishes. This is a recruitment to keep an eye on.

This list is encouraging. The majority of the players leaning towards signing with the Hurricanes are from South Florida. Mark Richt will never be able to duplicate the “State of Miami” imposed by Howard Schnellenberger, but taking care of business at home and building the program with in-state player, particularly from South Florida will be important to re-generate excitement in the Miami program.
