Miami Hurricane Director of player personnel Matt Doherty recently discussed the 2018 recruiting board. Doherty described the board being primarily comprised of Florida Talent. Doherty was not providing simple lip service as every single 2018 commit is from the Sunshine State. Orlando running back Lorenzo Lingard highlights an already impressive list of 2018 commitments.

Mark Richt once said that a player’s recruitment doesn’t begin until he commits somewhere. The Miami Hurricane 2018 class finish line is arduously in the distance and many programs will be in relentless pursuit.

Richt will have to rely on his decades of recruiting experience and provide a winning product on the field to solidify the class. Could the Class of 2018 become the cornerstone of depth for a sixth Miami Hurricane National Championship run?
