There’s no debate. July has not been kind to our Hurricanes. We have witnessed a long and frustrating recruiting drought.
With 20 verbal commitments, Miami’s 2026 recruiting class still stands at #10 nationally and #1 in the ACC.
Not too shabby.
Fall camp will begin on July 31st. At this time, we asked ourselves… Who are the remaining REALISTIC recruiting targets for Miami going into camp?
All is NOT lost!
Here are ten prospects we feel Miami has the most realistic chance of landing. By “realistic” we mean the Canes are still in the mix for a commitment.
