Good Morning Canes Familia,
It’s another wonderful Friday morning! While the football team currently waits to find out where they’ll be headed in their bowl game to close out 2018, there’s still plenty of news coming out of the Gables. So lets dive in.
Canes Whiff on Another QB Recruit
On Wednesday official word came that four-star quarterback Max Johnson choose to commit to LSU over the likes of Miami. The dagger in this story is the fact that Johnson is actually the nephew of UM head coach Mark Richt. Not only has the family matter dissolved in the general public, CMR was one of the first coaches to offer a scholarship to his nephew.
The move leaves Miami in search of a QB recruit for both the 2019 and 2020 recruiting cycle. Recently, UM has offered and visited three-star quarterbacks Ethan Garbers of Newport Beach, California and Tyler Van Dyke of Glastonbury, Connecticut. Both prospects are part of the 2020 cycle and are currently uncommitted.
Canes Recruit Sets Decision Date
Class of 2019 IMG Academy OT Evan Neal has announced that he will be making his college decision on December 19th on ESPN. Neal is a coveted five-star prospect that would be a boon should he decide to sign on the dotted line with UM.
