Talking Miami Hurricanes Football With Recruiting Guru Larry Bluestein
You’ve been on record saying that Corey Gaynor is the most underrated recruit. Would you like to elaborate on that?
"“The most underrated and undervalued recruit over the last three years is Corey Gaynor. He’s very athletic. As a freshman at one of our camps we had Corey Gaynor clocked at a 4.9 in the forty. Corey also went to a USF camp and was rated the highest graded offensive lineman in three years. I’ve literally seen him line up across from defenders and start toying with them. Corey is a big kid and his dad is big guy like 6’5″ and he plays mean. If you beat him the meaner and meaner he gets. People need to realize Minnesota coveted Gaynor like a five star and their fans’ reactions proved it when he de-commited. And while many people wanted to describe Gaynor as a sleeper, he was rated in my top 20 all along.”"
What is your take on the incoming quarterbacks N’kosi Perry and Cade Weldon? Who is the Miami Hurricane starting quarterback in 2017?
"“N’kosi Perry is more apt to be a Lamar Jackson type. Perry is definitely a three and out type kid. Perry has this play-making ability where he can just make things happen. Similarly I could recall times when (former Florida State star and current Detroit Lion) Anquan Boldin would hold off defenders with one arm and throw the ball down field. I could see a situation where Perry could be used situationally this year. Weldon is a Tampa Jefferson product that is deceptively fast. Weldon is a big strong kid. I really like Weldon as a QB. Weldon has to be 800 yards in front because he enrolled early and starts in the lead. “And the starting quarterback for Miami in 2017 is Jack Allison. Allison has to be eight miles ahead being in the system for a year and a half. You have to figure Allison’s confidence is through the roof being in the system that long.” Next: Priority Recruiting Targets and Discussing Mark Richt"
