Miami Hurricanes 2017 Recruiting Class Roundtable Part II

Who is the most overrated?

Roman Marciante-I’m going to go politically correct on this one. The gap between Jonathan Garvin and DJ Johnson isn’t as big as the national rankings want you to believe.

Daniel Nordwall– Every player in Miami’s class possesses potential. However, I think De’Andre Wilder may take some time to develop. He is a very raw athlete that needs to learn how to play outside linebacker in 4-3 scheme.

In high school, he just rushed the quarterback off the edge and received four-star rankings from most websites. I think linebackers Waynmon Steed Jr. and Bradley Jennings Jr. will have more of an impact for 2017 at the linebacker position.

Alan Rubenstein– The expectations being placed on Perry for him to come in and become the starting Quarterback immediately might be a bit high. Miami has Malik Rosier who has two years of experience sitting behind Brad Kaaya.

It often gets lost in the shuffle that Kaaya sat out the Miracle in Durham game in 2015. Without Rosier’s quality play in that game, the final play never happens on the kickoff return.

Perry has all the physical tools to be a great player, but is still a bit raw. This isn’t an indictment of Perry as much as the expectations that are being placed on him. Even the school is contributing to the hype before Perry ever takes the field.

In article about who will replace Kaaya, the Palm Beach Post said of Perry “lanky frame, long motion and a strong, but inconsistent arm. He is the caliber of athlete Miami hasn’t had at the position in some time, but how quickly can he be ready?”

Miami’s class of 2017 could become the cornerstone class of the Richt era at Miami. This is the first class he has signed with a full year under his belt at Miami. There are a lot of high level prospects and some players that might surprise. Quite a few should contribute this fall.
