-Tampa Bay Tech athlete Deon Cain has emerged as the top wide receiver prospect in Florida this offseason.
-With the word of Cain’s immense talent spreading, the University of Miami has started showing heavy interest.
-Says “I have been hearing from Miami a lot lately,” “I call them a lot. I talked to coach Golden and coach Larry Scott that I want to come down on a visit this week.
-Cain discussed the type of interest Miami is showing.
-Says “I probably talk to coach Golden almost every day. Coach Scott was telling me that I am the number one athlete that they have on their recruiting board,” “He said they are going to keep recruiting me hard. I liked hearing that.”
-Cain has never been to UM and is looking forward to learning more about the Hurricanes.
-Says “When I go to Miami, I just want to see the campus and learn more about the offense that they run there,” “I want to talk more to the offensive coordinator and the wide receiver coach. I want to know how they would use a player like me.”
-Cain admits he didn’t watch many UM games during the 2013 season, but he has studied up a little bit on the Hurricanes.
-Says “I know they are an up and coming team because they have a lot of veterans coming back and then they have a lot of young players coming in,” “I know they have a good receiver in Stacy Coley who broke a bunch of freshman records there. That just shows that if you go there and work you can make an impact as a freshman.”
-If Cain is unable to make the trip down to Miami this week he plans on visiting Clemson and South Carolina with fellow highly touted Tampa area recruit Ray-Ray McCloud.
-Cain played quarterback for Tampa Bay Tech last season and finished with 1,945 passing yards and 13 touchdowns while rushing for 731 yards and three touchdowns. This offseason has been a time for Cain to improve his skills at receiver.
-Says “It has been a good offseason because I have been able to work on my speed and my ball skills,” “I am doing more footwork drills and just getting better at receiver and learning those little things you have to do.”
-Cain doesn’t plan to make a commitment until the end of the summer after he takes numerous unofficial visits.
-Says “I will base my decision on how I get along with the coaching staff, what the offensive scheme is and how it fits me, and what the early playing time looks like,”

4/6/2014 UPDATE
Tampa Bay Tech wide receiver Deon Cain knew he was interested in Miami but he hadn’t seen them like he had with his other in-state options.That changed on Thursday when Cain (6-1, 190) made the trip down I-75, across Alligator Alley, and into Hurricane territory.
-Says “I wanted to look more into my position coach and the rest of the staff,” “I needed to get a better look at the type of offense they run and if I could see myself fitting in with that. I went in open minded because I was just trying to learn what I could.”
-visit started with an explanation of what Miami has to offer academically.
-Says “When I arrived, the first thing we did was with academics,” “They took me to the department for my major and we met with the dean. She talked about business management and what would happen for me if I choose to go there. It’s a big impression to know they’re on point with school first.”
The next step for Cain was to accomplish one of the objectives from his checklist.
-Says “All the coaches were real and I like how they just want to take care of you,” “They showed me all the fun places to go but the told me there are times to focus on football. Coach Carroll explained how their offense works and he said I would be perfect as an outside receiver who can make plays.”
-Cain’s initial connection to Miami was tight ends coach Larry Scott but it has now developed beyond just that.
-Says “I’ve been like buddies with Coach Scott since freshman year,” “It was good to reconnect plus I’m getting to know Coach Carroll. If I choose Miami, I would really look forward to working more with him. He’s a really cool person from what I see.”
-Cain’s presence on campus was outshined by football activities of a higher magnitude.
-Says “They had their pro day going on but it was against the rules for me to be there watching,” “I stayed away to do my own thing but it was cool being around for that. I still saw a few NFL coaches when I was walking around campus.”
-spending less time around the football facilities meant spending extra time exploring the rest of what campus is like.
-Says “I didn’t realize their campus was that beautiful until I actually got there,” “It looks very nice and everything is so new. You can tell they have a lot going on and that was a pretty big shocker. There’s not a ton of students so that’s cool too. I wasn’t really high on Miami at first but I’m very impressed now that I saw it.”
-he expects to be back in South Florida next weekend for the spring game at Sun Life Stadium. He listed Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, Tennessee, and UCF as other visits he hopes to take this spring or summer.
