20. Miami Hurricanes
Previous ranking: 19
Top commit: PF A.J. Casey (No. 55)
The Hurricanes made a late jump into the rankings after two commitments in one day in mid-October. First off the board was Danilo Jovanovich, a four-star forward from Wisconsin. He boosted his stock during the spring and summer, and Miami jumped into the mix following a strong July on the Nike EYBL circuit. The Hurricanes pulled Casey, the top recruit in the class, out of the Midwest, with DePaul among his finalists. Casey is an immediate impact player who can really play in transition. The third member of the class is ESPN 100 wing Christian Watson, another player who had an impressive July. He has good physical skills and can make shots. The Hurricanes then signed four-star center Favour Aire during the early signing period. Aire has been a touted name for a few years, and he still possesses a high ceiling up front.
