"They show so much love," Gourdine told InsideTheU ahead of his announcement. "The love that they show, no other coach shows. I'm going to go to wherever love me the most, and I feel like Miami loves me the most, so that's where I'm going to take my talents to."
What also meant a lot to him was how a home team would love to have him.
"That means a lot to me because not everybody can get an offer from the crib or get a commitable offer from the crib, so I feel great and blessed," Gourdine said. "It means a lot. Being in a program of a national championship team, I feel like I can go to Miami and be the best and be the best out of Miami. And I'm not so far to see my family. My family is right here, so I can just come down and see them every once in a while."
The Hurricanes are still ranked as the No. 14 class in the country as they continue to search for another No. 1 class.

"The early prediction remains on Miami. I like where the Hurricanes stand with the local road grater, Mark Matthews," On3's Steve Wiltfong said. "Several programs are pushing for Mark Matthews, but I think Miami is going to be tough to beat."
The 2027 class is starting to take shape for the Hurricanes now that they have a strong idea of what they need for the future.
