Kendall Rogers of D1 Baseball reported on Sunday that Pollard turned down Miami. Earlier this weekend, former LSU National Championship head coach Paul Manieri withdrew his name from contention to replace Gino DiMare. Former Major League shortstop Troy Tulowitzki could still be a name to watch as the next Miami head coach.
Brian Smith of All Hurricanes provided an update following the weekend of official visits. Smith stated that Miami made the biggest moves with wide receiver/flex tight end Caleb Odom and Palmetto wide receiver Jacory Barney, Jr. Smith expects Miami to receive between five and seven commits by the end of July.
