Ok so basically Denzel was a three star
No. You know the games Rivals played with stars back then. I have family that was close to the Gables program back then. Everyone knew about him and wanted him. He got screwed on his 4th star because everyone knew he was a Cane Lock deep down. He had a final list of schools like LSU, Notre Dame yet they didn’t bother to even rank him nationally. He wasn’t no Corey Flagg or Tyrek Austin Cave. Lol. This is BS just like that Ed Reed two star ranking by one service. Reed was one of the top recruits in the State of Louisiana. If you want to say Lewis is the highest rated recruit since WW fine but don’t minimize Perryman. Everyone knew we got a stud. Best defender in dade at the time.
Andrew Luck is tearing up the NFL in his third season. How did we rate him in high school? Mike Farrell takes a look back.

Alabama and
Nebraska. With National Signing Day approaching, Perryman lined up official visits to Florida State, Florida and Miami in January, with the Canes getting the last shot. While the coaching change to
Al Goldenmay have given the Seminoles and Gators more of a chance, at the end of the process Perryman realized that he wanted to stay close to home and play for the Hurricanes.
Perryman was a three-star recruit in the Class of 2011, the No. 25 inside linebacker nationally, the No. 59 recruit in Florida, but was not ranked overall nationally. At his position and in Florida, Perryman has already proven enough at Miami that he deserved a bump in both rankings. “

Ever since he was in the ninth grade, all eyes were on this gifted football talent who not only played linebacker, but actually ran the ball some for the Cavaliers. He was a dominating player from the first time he stepped on the playing field.
Has drawn many comparisons to one time Coral Gables great linebacker Jon Vilma, who has certainly gone on and accomplished some great things at the collegiate and professional level.
Perryman is a quick, strong football talent who makes plays. Has attracted interest from colleges as far back as two years ago, but now, a number of those schools are making offers to get him on campus.”
