UPDATE: Screen Shot 2016-10-23 at 2.37.20 PM.webp

With the possibility of Miramar cornerback Brian Edwards not being in this class, the Canes now have to turn their attention else where. Miami currently only has one cornerback committed in the 2017 class, which is Miami Columbus CB Trajan Bandy. Bandy is a very good cornerback, but Miami needs to add depth and especially height in the secondary. I'm going to give you an update on where Miami stands with some of their cornerback prospect.


Miami Columbus CB Chris Henderson
Decommitted: 08/03/16
HUDL: C.J. Henderson - Hudl
Henderson decommitted from Miami this month, but that shouldn't scare Miami fans. This will come down to a Miami vs Florida battle. Henderson recently released a top five which included: Miami, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia and Auburn. Miami is in good position to regain his commitment, he's taking his official visit to Miami one week before NSD, so the Canes are in good position.
Possibility of being in this class: 60%

Mater Academy CB Latavious Brini
HUDL: Junior Season Highlights - Latavious Brini highlights - Hudl
Brini recently decommitted from Georgia, and the Canes have been trending for him. With Brian Edwards recent decommitment, Miami needs to go on a full court press for Brini and lock his commitment up. It will be a Miami vs Georgia battle till the end.
Possibility of being in this class: 80%

Miami Southridge CB Antwan Coller
HUDL: Antwan Collier - Hudl
Collier is committed to Illinois, but with the Brian Edwards no longer with this class, Miami will likely offer him and turn the heat up in his recruitment. I could see a Sheldrick Redwine situation where he drops Illinois and joins the Hurricanes class. Collier hasn't played much cornerback in his high school career, he was the starting quarterback at Miami Killian while he attended the school.
Possibility of being in this class: 70%

Players to keep an eye on
- American Heritage CB Marco Wilson (UM/UF Legacy)
Possibility of being in this class: 15%
- Grayson HS CB DeAngelo Gibbs
Possibility of being in this class: 5%
- Miramar HS CB Brian Edwards
Possibility of being in this class: 25%
- Miami Southridge CB Shawn Davis
Possibility of being in this class: 15%

Coaches told him they prefer him at S... he wants to play CB bad..but nobody is offering him at CB....we need depth..so adding 2 or 3 3star CBs wont hurt..also can develop them

This is pathetic considering a couple things such as there is so much playing time available and corners grow on trees in SFL and we can only muster one.

So if we lie to him and tell him we want him at CB and he gets here and we move him to S we still need CB'S. Not saying he won't make a good safety , but we need CB's.
 
What the fvck are these % numbers ??? How do you come up with stuff like 15% or 5%....just say he ain't comin mane

Aren't we recruiting any cornerbacks outside of the dade/broward area? Sheesh
 
Wasn't this kid just throwing the U up at his last game?

Wtf our DB recruiting is as depressing as our on field play
 
Betty Crakker better put that apron back on and send out a few cakes to some top DB's quickly.

This has been horrific (Safety not as bad as CB, but still) -

So here's who we wanted at DB:

CB -

1. Marco Wilson
2. Christopher Henderson
3. Shawn Davis
4. Trajan Bandy
5. Brian Edwards

S -

1. Cyrus ***an
2. Daniel Wright
3. Billy Gibson
4. Amari Carter


Here's who we are looking to get:

CB:

1. Trajan Bandy
2. Latavious Brini (Plan B)
3. Antwan Collier (Plan B)

S:

1. Billy Gibson
2. Amari Carter

I think our Ssafety haul is pretty good considering ***an and Wright just love FSU.

However, our CB recruiting is downright pathetic..very goldenesque. Marco Wilson is a lost cause because he's been tainted by Quincy and I feel like Henderson is the same issue. Losing Brian Edwards is downright stupid.

I have to ask though, why are we not recruiting DB's out of state?...I get the whole keeping kids down here premise but why are we only limited to these kids. The 2018 class is elite but we need help now for next year and it would really suck to just have a bunch of frosh out there starting in 2018.
