Al Golden’s National Signing Day Battles

National Signing Day is just over a week out and the Miami Hurricanes are looking to close strong after a fast start and solid latter half to their 2013 recruiting process.

Head coach Al Golden and his assistants were on a roll months back, building Miami’s class up to 30 verbal commitments, though a handful of prospects decommitted over the past few weeks.

Still, the Hurricanes have a very solid group on board and have the chance to reel a few big names back in. And perhaps they can still land a few last-minute surprises.

Read on to see how Miami could fare with seven top prospects between now and next Wednesday—including defensive end Chad Thomas, quarterback Brad Kaaya, defensive tackle Travonte Valentine, defensive end Demetrius Jackson, running back Kameron McKnight, cornerback J.C. Jackson and quarterback Treon Harris.

  • Signing day always boring as a cane fan....nothing big ever happens....sure wont with done and this staff! !!!! Actually miami fell a notch from 8 to nine

    • ... sort of an unfair knock considering this staff had 30 verbal commitments before the bowl game last year. Doesn't leave any room for Signing Day surprise and if anything, only breeds disappointment as a few of those 30—based on numbers, alone—were going to bail out, and did. Makes it way too easy for folks to forget about the amazing job this staff did assembling the 2014 class—most of which took place before the NCAA cloud was lifted late October.
