College football recruiting can be funny. At any one given moment, a prospect can pop and his recruitment concludes. That stated, many times a player that’s all but 100% sure of where “home” will be for college, still waits until National Signing Day to make a public announcement.
That’s the case with several of the top recruits that Mario Cristobal and the Miami Hurricanes continue to covet. That’s why the following list of recruits was categorized not by talent or position, but it’s a collection of information from the recruits themselves, as well as sources, that’s been used to give a best guess estimation of when they will decide.
To clarify, some of the recruits below have technically committed elsewhere. Well, when they already took additional official visits and consistently communicate with multiple schools, that's the reason to keep them on this list as well.
Do not take the following to the bank. Instead, it’s a baseline of information that one can look at for following Miami recruiting.
Note: This list has not yet been completed. Still working on finding out more about some other prospects that already officially visited UM and others that still might as well. More players will be added over time and the article updated.
