Miami will host a handful of athletes this weekend as recruiting season will come to a close, while some Hurricanes commits will head elsewhere for one last sales pitch.

5-star defensive end Chad Thomas has been solid to “The U” since last July, but is making the most of his final visits.

The 6’3″, 230-pound Booker T. Washington standout spent last weekend at Florida State and is Alabama-bound this weekend—two programs that have won some recent titles and remain on a roll, yet Miami appears unfazed.
