Miami is going into the 2020 season very thin at WR, especially when you consider we are going to run a high tempo spread offense. As most are aware, high tempo eats up WRs. Therefore, I wouldn’t be surprised if Miami took 4 WRs in this class, maybe even 5 depending on what happens at other positions in recruiting.
A WR class needs to be a blend of speed, size and athleticism.
Jaden Alexis appears to be the first choice at slot, with Yul Brown and George also being considered. Brown adds the versatility of being able to play RB in the spread.
On the outside, The Canes would love Brooks, but it’s becoming clear he wants the SEC. Romello Brinson, Malik Nabers and Chase Smith appear to be at the top of Miami’s realistic board right now for the outside receiver spots.. Other also being considered for the outside are Malcom Johnson, Keon Coleman, Kamonte Grimes and Kaden Prather.
If today were NSD, I would like the following…
Romello Brinson, Malik Nabers on the outside
Jaden Alexis for the slot, with Jacolby George as backup plan
Yulkeith Brown as the combo slot/RB, if not go with Jacolby George as backup plan
Malcom Johnson (if we take 5) as the vertical speed on outside
Just my thoughts…
