Signing Day is in the books, but the Miami Hurricanes and head coach Al Golden remain busy with one new recruits for the 2013 class and two verbals for next season.
Earlier this week the Canes picked up Ryheem Lockley, a 6-foot-4, 217-pound athlete who will play wideout and tight end this coming season at Middlesex High School in Virginia. Lockley is a three-star prospect.
More exciting, due to the fact the signing can help this current class, the addition of Cornelius Elder, a 5-foot-11, 170-pound four-star athlete out of Nashville. Elder is a two-sport athlete who will play football and basketball (a three-star point guard) at Miami. UM has always been his dream school and the minute the offer was offered, Elder committed.
The latest addition came on Wednesday when Hialeah High athlete Alin Edouard called Miami assistant Mario Cristobal and verbally committed. Edouard is another local product who wants to put UM back on the map and after attending Junior Day at ‘The U’ last weekend, he was sold.
Edouard is a soft commit who will take other visits and as a quarterback he threw for 1,956 yards and 18 touchdowns (with 556 rushing yards and 7 rushing scores).
The recruiting for 2014 is in full force, while the addition of the four-star Elder to the 2013 class boosted Miami’s ranking with ESPN, Rivals and Scout.
