Miami Hurricanes Recruiting: Who Will Be The Next Verbal Commit? Portal Mania | Video

In this story:
Even though Mario Cristobal never stops recruiting, this is his busiest month of the year out on the trail. National signing day (Dec 20th) is less than two weeks away!
Miami currently has 27 verbal commits and boasts the 5th ranked Class of 2024 according to 247 Sports. The Hurricanes have momentum after flipping 5-Star defensive tackle Justin Scott from Ohio State.
On a new Locked On Canes, Liam Willerup and I discussed candidates to become the next Canes verbal commit.
Some names to consider:
-St. Thomas Aquinas 4-Star running back Jordan Lyle, an Ohio State commit.
“It is honestly up in the air right now."

-Chaminade-Madonna 3-Star quarterback Cedrick "CJ" Bailey, a North Carolina State commit.
-Chaminade-Madonna 5-Star WR Jeremiah Smith, an Ohio State commit. *Note- this one is an uphill climb for Miami. OSU is doing everything they can to keep the number one recruit locked in, and Miami also faces competition from Florida State for a possible flip. Still, the Hurricanes are doing everything they can here.
NEW - Can anyone slow down Jeremiah Smith, the nation’s top wideout? ‘The best of his generation’

I caught up with the nation’s top recruit after his state championship victory. The Ohio State commit has an OV to FSU. Miami is still chasing him too. https://t.co/WdgqfMg04R
On the podcast, Liam and I also discussed transfer portal quarterbacks. The Hurricanes are actively pursuing Washington State transfer Cam Ward as their top target.
IF Miami cannot beat out multiple other contenders like Ohio State, USC, and FSU for Ward, who is your next favorite option?
I like Kansas State transfer Will Howard. Liam likes Toledo transfer Dequan Finn.
