Miami responded to its down 2018 recruiting cycle with a nice bounceback, solid 2019 group. Jim Larranaga and his staff are hoping for much better this time around as they have positioned themselves in a great spot with a handful of Rivals150 prospects.
Deivon Smith has been one of their top targets in recent months but Alabama, Louisville and Oregon have done just the same.

Figuring out a list for Andre Curbelo is nearly impossible but the Hurricanes are a potential suitor. Lynn Greer remains a target as Larranaga just attended one of his games last week. Puff Johnson is a possibility as he works out near Miami’s campus for weeks at a time.
Matt Cross has already visited Miami and will likely commit next month. Jamille Reynolds is a big man that the Canes sit in his final six for as they have gained traction with Jon Aku, too.

However, there is not one, singular prospect that the Canes lead for which, if things don’t play out accordingly, could blow up in their faces and leave The U scrambling later this fall.

We don't lead for ANY of these prospects. Not good news -- again.

Yes and no. Most of them don't have a leader so it is wide open. I agree, I would feel better if Miami was in the top 5 or they have an official visit scheduled but it is still early in the process.

Andre Curbelo, PG, NY Jayhawks

In an overtime win over Game Elite, Curbello was fantastic. The high IQ point guard made some incredible passes, and really did a good job of controlling the game. While at times he can get a little too deep when dribbling into the lane, Curbello does virtually everything else exactly how you would want from a point guard. He is a solid shooter, he will compete on the defensive end, and he is a fantastic playmaker. While he isn't the most explosive athlete, he makes up for it with a tremendous change of pace dribble, and his willingness to play with a high motor on every single possession.
