Marquise Lightfoot commits to Miami

In perhaps the biggest recruiting win of the cycle thus far, the Miami Hurricanes landed the commitment of elite pass-rusher Marquise Lightfoot from Chicago.

Lightfoot, the #6 ranked EDGE prospect and the #67 player overall in the 247 Composite rankings, chose Miami over Ohio State and USC. The 6'5", 220-pound edge rusher from Kenwood Academy sat high on Miami’s overall board due to his combination of length, explosive power, closing speed and effort. I’m told he looked the part of an elite prospect in person, and the coaches absolutely love his aggressive nature on special teams.

While many thought he would sign with the Buckeyes, Miami made a huge move on his official visit this past weekend. This was a huge win for Mario Cristobal, who desperately needed recruiting momentum after the losses of DT Justin Scott and WR Jacory Barney.

For all the that were panicking two days ago and mailing it in, come and get your crow.

Lots of work left in this class but this is good momentum.

Nah fam. We never said the whole class was gon be ****. We were voicing our displeasure with the losing/dry streak....and that streak was/is real. Again, it is really a situation where no one is right, but everyone can have an opinion.

We were down 13 and reeling. Just hit a HUGE 3 to give some hope. Hope a run follows.

A 3 and a foul + 1 cuz he is 4*!

I will say this and I'm not trying to enter a debate.... But whoever chose and is choosing to panic has a very good reason too. This is a tremendously good start to turn things around though.

This kid got laughed at by some when he committed, but he’s been a true Cane from the start. Let’s give a hand to Mooyoung.
