We are good..... :2thumbs

I seen Jimbo finished strong on the 2017 class.
I think CMR did pretty well for his first recruiting class considering how bad weve been under Golden and Shannon. We missed on McFarland but did get Dean, Hartley and Herbert to flip. WR Thomas was a huge get and brings a lot of speed. Going to be an interesting QB competition this spring for Miami. Don't be surprised if Perry wins the QB position as a true frosh. And that still can be an upgrade over Kayaa. :dog



One thing I noticed with CMR while he was at UGA , he could definitely pull in the 4and 5 star specialist, but for some reason, he always neglected the line with 2 and 3 stars.....hopefully he changed his ways for Miami.

The 4 and 5 stars are always nice. But the problem weve had before is we'd get the talent but couldn't do nothing with it do to coaches not being able to develop talent or utilze the speed that comes with recruiting south florida. I give props to the asst coaches CMR brought in. Diaz, Kool, Rumph, Dugans, and Brown are light years ahead of what we had before and you're seeing the results. Even if we lose to Clemson and don't make the playoffs no Miami fane should be disappointed. CMR brought Miami back and no one can deny that.

FORT LAUDERDALE — Miami picked up a four-star, Army All-American quarterback commit for 2018.

Georgia-based Jarren Williams announced his intention to play for Mark Richt in a video he tweeted Wednesday.

“I’m a Hurricane,” he said, displaying the ‘U’ with his hands.

Next season Williams, from Lawrenceville, Georgia, will compete with redshirt freshman N’Kosi Perry and others trying to unseat redshirt senior Malik Rosier as UM’s starting QB.

Williams was previously committed to Kentucky, and became a priority target for UM before four-star New Jersey prospect Artur Sitkowski decommitted in November.

Williams plans to enroll in January and participate in spring drills at UM.

While Wednesday brought plenty of good news for the Hurricanes, it brought few surprises.

Mark Richt’s program did most of its work in December, signing 19 players, 10 of which enrolled last month. It added four on signing day, making it a 23-player class. When Richt addressed the media at 3 p.m., the group was rated No. 7 in the country by 247Sports. It is Miami’s highest recruiting ranking since 2008, when 247 rated UM first overall, and the highest-rated group in the ACC.

“If we keep recruiting like this,” Richt said, “there’s going to be a lot of happy Hurricane fans, I can tell you that.”

Wednesday’s big addition was four-star defensive tackle Nesta Silvera, who honored a pledge to Miami he made last February.

“There was some cheering for sure,” Richt said of the Wednesday morning phone call with Silvera, whom he referred to by his middle name, Jade. He feels Silvera is “the best 3-technique in the state of Florida.” He later wondered if he was “the best interior defensive lineman … probably in America.”

Silvera, listed at 6-foot-2 and 308 pounds, was a four-star recruit rated second-best among prep defensive tackles by 247Sports. That website pegged him as the No. 54 prospect regardless of position. ESPN had him No. 3 among defensive tackles and No. 50 overall. Rivals considered him ninth and No. 121.

He racked up 107 tackles, 31 for loss, and 12 sacks as a senior for Class 5A state champion Plantation-American Heritage. He also recovered a fumble and returned it 60 yards for a touchdown. In three high school seasons, he produced 187 tackles, 51 for loss, and 17.5 sacks.

He could see immediate playing time at Miami, which loses starting tackles RJ McIntosh and Kendrick Norton, both juniors, to the NFL draft, and graduates key reserve Anthony Moten.

“Miami is home,” Silvera said Tuesday on ESPNU, wearing a turnover chain edition ‘U’ hat. “It’s the crib, you know? What I can do here, I could go to Tuscaloosa, I could go to Athens, I could go to Gainesville and make those schools great, but why not stay home and make the crib great?”

The “best nose guard” in the state, Richt feels, is Jordan Miller, a three-star signee from Jacksonville-Sandalwood High. Richt said he wondered what was wrong, since more big-name programs weren’t recruiting him until late. “There’s no way this guy could be this good, have this good of grades, and not be spoken for,” Richt said. Position coach Craig Kuligowski later explained that Silvera played at a small school — Palatka High — before transferring to Sandalwood last spring. He had gall bladder surgery and did not participate last spring, a period in which he might have been discovered.

The Hurricanes also landed four-star Georgia-based wide receiver Marquez Ezzard, who picked the Canes over Mississippi. “He’s 6-2, 215 pounds and plays like a heavyweight boxer,” Richt said. Receivers coach Ron Dugans said Ezzard will start as an outside receiver.

The other signee Richt was happy to spotlight: “Super fast, agile” Nigel Bethel, a three-star cornerback from Miami Northwestern. Though not rated as high as UM’s December cornerback signees — Al Blades Jr., D.J. Ivey and Gilbert Frierson were four-stars — defensive coordinator Manny Diaz was impressed.

“When he came to our 7-on-7 camp (last summer) and locked down everyone out there,” Diaz said, “we couldn’t get that out of our minds.”

A few late defensive misses stung some fans, who hoped five-star cornerbacks Tyson Campbell (Georgia) and Patrick Surtain Jr. (Alabama), and four-star defensive linemen Andrew Chatfield (Florida) and Keondre Coburn (Texas) would join Richt’s group in Coral Gables.

Miami has its own internal system for grading recruits. Players are rated from “ones” to “fives,” with ones defined generally as “big-time guys, guys we can win the [ACC] with,” Diaz said.

According to Diaz, Miami got the ones it wanted.

“Some of the [players] we didn’t get, and some of the places they went, they wanted our ones,” Diaz said. “So they missed, too. … That’s just recruiting. That’s why we are excited about hitting the targets we had to hit. I don’t see people in this class we don’t feel like we can win the league with.

“What gets you beat is when you take the wrong ones.”
