Miami will offer scholarships to approximately 170-200 prospects every year. They have already offered 87 scholarships for the 2014 Class. Our “CaneHunt” boards are our attempt to “guess” the Hurricanes’ recruiting priorities. These boards can and probably will change throughout the recruiting cycle. CHECK BACK OFTEN during the year to check on the boards and get the latest updates on prospects. I hope you enjoy CaneHunt ’14.

Miami’s Need: 2

Miami currently has five quarterbacks (Morris, Williams, Dewey, Crow, Thompson) on the roster, with only one senior (Morris) this season. And until David Thompson actually practices, you need to wonder if he will ever don pads for the Canes. We also need to watch whom new OC James Coley recruits. Until now, UM recruited only PRO style prospects. Already Alin Edouard, a dual-threat QB, made his verbal commitment to the Canes. Does this signal a change in offensive philosophy for Miami? Look for the Canes to take as many as two QBs in this class.

Prospects:

1. Name: David Cornwell

Hometown/School: Norman, OK (Norman North)
HT: 6-5 | WT: 230 | 40:

247Sports Composite: Rating: 97 Rank: #3 PP
Scouting Report (s):

UPDATES:

2/28/13: David Cornwell
is an elite pro-style passer from Oklahoma. Cornwell is rated 97 and ranked the #3 PP in the nation, according to the 247Sports Composite.

David is a big QB from Norman, Oklahoma. Yes, that’s the home of the Sooners. However, Oklahoma has been curiously missing from David’s recruiting up to now. While Cornwell’s passing number are extremely impressive, he also racked up 755 yards rushing last season. Can we say Tim Tebow? And Cornwell has stated that UM is in his upper tier of schools he’s considering. Amazing. It’s a long way to NSD.

3. Name: Drew Barker

Chance: Too early

UPDATES:

2/28/13: Drew Barker
is an elite pro-style passer from Kentucky. Drew is rated 95 and ranked the #7 PP in the nation, according to the 247Sports Composite.

Barker is another large QB that can both toss and tote the rock. Drew will be a tough pull from SEC territory. He already has 27 offers and more are sure to come. He and his family grew up Kentucky fans. However, Steve Spurrier made a big impression on Drew. Drew has Kentucky, South Carolina and Ohio State as his early leaders. The Canes must get Barker to campus to stand a chance. However, it’s a long way to NSD.

4. Name: Deshaun Watson

Hometown/School: Gainesville (Gainesville, GA)

UPDATES:

Watson gave his verbal commitment to Clemson in February. Deshaun has been a starting QB for his HS team since his freshman year. He lives nearby Clemson in the northeast Georgia. It will be a very tough pull for the Canes. We must be considered a long shot at this time.
