After a less than thrilling finish to the class of 2015 on National Signing Day, the Miami Hurricanes can now shift their focus to the class of 2016.
The class of 2016 is already off to a phenomenal start as the 'Canes boast the number one recruiting class in the country according to 247sports.com Al Golden's' staff has already received 13 commitments early on; Eight of which are ranked as four-star prospects (247sports). One of those four-star prospects is Palmetto (Fla.) quarterback Jack Allison who has some thoughts on Miami's future.
"The 2015 class is a good class, but having Jordan Scarlett de-commit is really crappy (laughs). I like (Lawerence) Cager, and I just feel like we did well," said Allison.
"The 2016 class is going to be great. I'm really excited because we have a lot of talent committed already. It's just going to be a really good class when we all get on campus."
During this offseason, Allison plans to play for the esteemed 7-on-7 club team, Team Tampa which has him excited to work with some great receivers. However, Jack knows he will be playing with some fantastic receivers in the future with fellow Miami commits, Sam Bruce and Dionte Mullins.
"I'm really excited to play with Sam and Dionte. They are both really great guys. They are just real solid dudes to be around. Every time I've been around them they've showed they are good guys and obviously just the way they can make plays is great," said Allison.
The 6-foot-5, 190-pounder has become an unofficial ambassador to this class recruiting other players from the country to come and join the, "Swag16" as the 'Canes coaching staff refers to it on social media, and as an ambassador Allison has a couple players on his "wish list."
"I really want (Coconut Creek, Fla. WR) Binjimen Victor. I would love it if he would commit because that dude is a beast. Also, (IMG Academy, Fla. CB) Saivion Smith."
Allison says he plans on visiting Coral Gables once spring practice rolls around again. He also added that he could potentially enroll early for the spring semester of 2016 at the University.
Miami will have to fight off Alabama, Missouri, and Tennessee, to retain the ambassador of the "Swag16", but Allison said to me as calm as could be, "I'm a Miami Hurricane."
