2/19/13:
Ermon Lane is the #1 ranked WR in the nation and the #29 overall prospect, according to 247sports composite ratings and rankings. Ermon is very high on Miami’s 2014 board. He combines speed, size and playmaking ability to attain his five stars. He’s also close friends with Herb Waters and he’s a cousin of Coach Michael Barrow.
Miami is the team to beat right now with Florida State and Alabama also in the mix. And look out for Arkansas, with Coach Randy Shannon on his trail.

Chance: Too early
UPDATES:
3/22/13: ESPN.com Recruiting Nation has published an article, “Breaking down 2014 prospects.” Their report includes WR
Johhnie Dixon. Here’s what they had to say…
“There is a lot to like about Dixon athletically. He has height, good bulk, very good strength and builds very good top-end speed. Has the initial quickness to escape press. Has good awareness and a natural feel to separate versus man and uncover versus zone in rhythm with the quarterback. He's big enough, strong enough and physical enough to play off defenders to separate if necessary. A physical player for the position.”
Tex
2/19/13:
Johnnie Dixon is another explosive receiver from South Florida. At this early point, UM and Florida have a lead but look for more schools to get in the hunt for this quality receiver.

UPDATES:
4/16/13: ESPN is reporting today that WR Speedy Noil has named his Top 4 schools of LSU, Texas A&M, Florida and USC. Not a good sign for the Canes.
3/20/13: ESPN Recruiting Nation reported yesterday on
Devante “Speedy” Noil’s early leaders. Noil has Florida, LSU, Texas A&M and USC in the lead with Louisiana Tech in the mix.
Can his former teammate, Standish Dobard, get the Canes in the hunt? It’s a long way to NSD.
Speedy is rated at 96 and ranked the #13 WR in the nation by the 247Sports Composite.
2/19/13: Speedy Noil is an elite all-purpose everything. Every big time program is after him. When he touches the ball, things happen. Noil has not traveled much and has no known plans to do so, despite his declarations to the contrary. Unless the Canes can get him to visit the campus, he will be a tough pull from LSU.

Josh Malone is an elite talent at wide receiver. He’s already received 26 offers from just about every major school. He’s big and even faster. Recently, he named his early top 5 of Notre Dame, Tennessee, South Carolina Ohio State and Vanderbilt. It will be a hard pull for the Canes. At this time, I consider him a long shot for Miami.

Corey Holmes is another talented wide receiver from South Florida. Corey was a late bloomer on the gridiron. He blossomed late in his junior season on the way to a state championship. Recently, at a combine Corey tested as one of the top 2 wide receivers at the event. His blazing 4.48 in the 40 caught every coach’s eye. It will be interesting to follow Holmes this coming season as he continues to develop quickly.

2/20/12:
Austin Roberts, son of a Miami legacy, Alfredo Roberts. Austin is a big wide receiver at 6-3, 210 lbs. He’s been to many of his offering schools, including Miami. Roberts is taking his recruitment very deliberately. It’s a long way to NSD.

He has indicated that he will go to UF’s Friday Night Lights camp this summer. At this point, we should consider his commitment “soft” at best.
Tex’s THOUGHT: Our first “Home Boy Diva” of the 2014 class. I thought we wanted young men that wanted to be Canes? Doesn’t sound like he wants to be a Cane. You are either on or off the Cane Train. Make up your mind. No games this year!
