Getting Washington on campus again seemed out of the picture, but he set up an official visit for this upcoming weekend and is intrigued by the success of tight ends at Miami. We’ll see. Miami would have to beat out Georgia and Alabama, which is something they haven't had much success in doing.

Miami looks to be back in on Denis after going in-home with him. Not sure what the chances are there, but Miami wouldn't show up at his doorstep if they weren't serious about their interest in him, especially at this time of the year.

Greene called Miami his “leader” roughly two weeks ago in an interview with CaneSport’s Matt Shodell and is scheduled to officially visit the Hurricanes this weekend along with Washington before giving the Seminoles the last word on the weekend of the 13th.

This recruiting world is a crazy one and there's no telling what’s going to happen with some of these blue-chip prospects. Getting them on campus is the first step. Having a winning program to gloat is another key ingredient. The latter is lacking for Manny Diaz and the staff at the moment.

They have to hope kids like this see an opportunity to come in and fix the problem.
