Brandon McGee to The U…

Chalk up another big time recruit for the Miami Hurricanes. Lauderhill (FL) Plantation High School DB Brandon McGee is headed to The U. Randy Shannon and staff have reeled in another big fish for 2009.  McGee chose Miami over Tennessee, Florida State and Ole Miss and had over thirty scholarships offers.

“My whole family loves Miami. My uncle pressures me every day about going to Miami,” said McGee during the recruiting process. Looks like Uncle is a happy man today, as is Hurricane Nation.

McGee is a four-star recruit and is listed as the nation’s 10th best corner, overall. 6’0″, 180 lbs. and running a 4.45 forty, McGee is slated to graduate early and if so, will be another early enrolee.

The U was a good fit for McGee, based on the current standings regarding cornerbacks. Miami has two seniors, one junior, one sophomore, no redshirt freshman and one true freshman. CB is a must-have position for the 2009 class, with Miami looking to nab 2-3 more corners. 

Miami now has 11 verbals towards the 2009 class. McGee is the fifth four-star the Canes have landed this off-season, four three-stars and a two-star. Running back Bryce Brown currently is the lone five-star for next year’s class.

IN OTHER NEWS: Only two non-prep school-bound Canes are waiting for the NCAA Clearinghouse OK. Linebacker Brandon Marti and safety Joseph Wylie are the last men standing, with the good news hopefully coming this week.

Most recently admitted, defensive tackle Jeremy Lewis was on the field Monday morning for his first practice as a Cane. Defensive end Gavin Hardin learned over the weekend that he was cleared, both on the heels of C.J. Holton coming aboard last week.

Brandon Washington, Zack Kane, C.J. Odom and Antonio Harper are the four signees who didn’t make the grade, while Holton, Hardin and Lewis did (as should Marti and Wylie).

A far cry from the eight potential signees ESPN reported wouldn’t make the cut a few weeks back.
