Miami Hurricane Season gets started this week entering the season on the recruiting tra Miami currently sits at number 10 but depending on how this season goes it could go either way and the kanes could be looking at a top five class could they be looking at a top 15 class we will see we got isie Charles on this video we're going to get into it but before we do Miami fans do me a favor hit subscribe to the on3 recruit channel the best recruiting channel on all of YouTube we talk a ton of Miami Hurricane recruiting we want you to be a part of it go ahead and hit subscribe for me please all right let's bring in isie Charles of kport and we're going to get to the big matchup this week and we know there's going to be over a hundred BigTime recruits at this Miami Florida game in the swamp you're going to be there we're going to get to that in a minute but I want to get your overall thoughts about Miami's number 10 ranked recruiting class uh what would you say are the highlights or the strengths of the class heading into the season yeah I really like this class at the moment as we're just days away from kickoff the 2024 campaign heading into this recruiting cycle Miami made it a big emphasis on recruiting defensive backs as a position of need and they landed a handful of blue Chi prospects at that position guys like Drake stubs Bryce Fitzgerald and Jabari and Swan who are all top 150 guys kind of headlin that defensive back class for the canes but you also have guys like SJ alaoui out of Bishop Gorman Gerard Pringle who's a top 175 running back and Luke nichel kind of the leader of the class that quarterback out of Milton Georgia so right now as we head into the season I really do like this class and I do think think there's still a bit of a root for improvement but I love where they stand right now yeah uh last year this was an incomplete class heading into the season it was defensive line that was the main focus heading into the season is it the same this cycle or what would you say the biggest need still to fill is I would say Miami's done a great job of filling that you like I said defensive back was kind of like the hey we need to to land some big guys at this position because in the next few years that's going to be a position of need for the team so this year definitely defensive back and I think they landed know the guys that they wanted to obviously they missed out on the big fish DJ pick it but I feel like they're going to still chip away and chip away at him until you know they can't anymore another position I need I think they kind of need to address his wide receiver as we kind of get through these last few months of the recruiting cycle right now they currently have one uh fourstar commit dalen Upshaw who I'm a big fan of and I think he's going to continue to rise this fall but I do want to see them to add one or two more Playmakers at that wide out position yeah Shaw could be a gem of that class he's he's already off to a great start so speaking of the kanes being off to a great start we enter the season at number 10 how do you think Miami finishes this year is it higher lower where they at cuz last year it was a top five class the year before it was number seven I believe and currently sitting at top 10 yeah I think Miami will finish in the top 10 for a third straight year under coach Chris Ball and potentially push for another top five class if things go their way I think the main factor in this is going to be play on the field in my opinion I think if they figure things out on the field and match that with you know their their efforts on the recruiting Trail it could be scary come December with Coach Chris Ball and that staff pushing for some you know other commits elsewhere if they can get those wins on the field but right now I'm pretty confident saying a top 10 class and if things start clicking on the grid iron the top five for sure yeah you know in year one and two Mario crystal ball he recruits with the with the wind at his back you know they got all the hope they got all the excitement building around the Miami program for two years but now year three it's time you got to prove it on the field and this week when when Miami heads to Gainesville to play the gor they'll have a chance to prove it how important is this game for Miami recruiting I know it's not make or break you know if they win or lose it's not going to make or break this class but what does this game mean for the recruits watching I think this game is one of if not the most important game for recruits this year you know it's your instate rival it's a program that you're recruiting against you know every single year some of the top prospects in the state out of state wherever they may be and also it's both year three for Coach Chris and Coach Napier it's time to put up or shut up you've been selling know these dreams of hey we're making this program a program we're making this program come back to what it used to be now what better way than to start off the 2024 year against one of if not your biggest rival with over a 100 recruits that you guys are both recruiting in that um Stadium super super excited to see what goes down like I said it's time to put up shut up for both of these coaches and I'm excited to see who comes out on top in this one yeah some some Battle Ground recruitments that both teams have come out on top you know whether it's wide receiver Joshua Moore who ends up in Gainesville Hilton stubs the great DB out of Jacksonville who's now committed to Miami also a guy like DJ picket who both Miami and Florida missed on but would love to flip from LSU they're all going to be in the swamp who are you keeping an eye on as far as a recruit that this game could impact yeah you named two of them uh Joshua Moore and DJ picket Josh Moore has made it clear that he's not signed any paperwork yet and if the Hurricanes outdo the Gators you know as the season goes on things could get interesting in his recruitment that's something that you know you love to hear as a fan of recruiting to instate programs battling out for one of the top wide receivers in the country also with DJ picket he's had this game circled on his calendar you know during the summertime and said hey regardless of where I commit I will be in the swamp on August 31st watching those two teams I think for both of these programs this is a chance to say Hey DJ listen we might have missed out on you on the first swing but hey look at what we did against this you know instate program that you're being recruited by give us another chance or however you may say it I think this is a great great opport for both Miami and Florida to put their best forward with DJ picket come August 31st I think you said it best this is a great opportunity for both programs to finally put it on the field in person lots of eyes on this one not just you and I but there's going to be hundreds of recruits watching as well so Miami fans talk to us who do you think is one of the most important recruits that'll be on the sidelines for this one let us know comment section below big game coming up this
