National Signing Day: UM after Marquez Ezzard, Reggie James | Miami Herald

Some of the article

"Wide receiver Marquez Ezzard and defensive end Reggie James — both uncommitted players from Georgia — are scheduled to visit the University of Miami next weekend."

"Ezzard, a 6-2, 215-pound, four-star recruit, is ranked the No. 37 player in Georgia and has been compared to former NFL receiver Anquan Boldin because of his powerful physique."

"James, a 6-3, 235-pounder, is not nearly as sought-after as Ezzard. But one of James’ strengths is his versatility as he has also played linebacker, tight end and fullback. He had 10 tackles for losses, including six sacks, this past season."

"Opinions vary, of course, but Pope and Hightower are both considered elite. Both competed in the U.S. Army All-America Bowl, and Hightower was dominant. He appears to be college-ready with a 6-3, 200-pound frame."

"Pope, listed at 6-1, 175, could be more of a long-ball threat, while Wiggins (6-3, 175 pounds) is considered a down-the-line prospect once he fills out and gets stronger. If Ezzard signs with Miami, it could be the Canes’ best receiving class of the past decade."

Unless he is playing against Pop Warner players in that highlight video, I would take a chance on Reggie. He has good size and plays like a savage.

Agree.....unless someone else comes along before NSD February looks better than some of the people we are/have been carrying on the roster now.

Do you guys feel like this is better than the 2016 wr class? I know Bruce and Mullins left but that had some serious talent from top we in each tri county at least on paper
 
We need more guys like Reggie James. Those HBack/FB types are key if we want to run more power and they can also help on special teams.

Even air-it-out teams like Sean Payton's Saints always keep a couple FB/blocking HBacks on the roster.
 
Give him a ship, we’re gonna be so far under 85 anyway

That's how you take on dead weight. Staff has been clear they want to avoid offering guys just because they have space and a need at position. Additionally, we may very well be at the limit on signing day. Accounting for recent signees, the grad transfer, and guys that have declared for draft, we're at 79 on scholarship. That leaves room for, say, Nesta, Briggs, Campbell, Ezzard, Goss, and 1 more.

Oklahoma always has a few
 
Need people like James that can give you practice reps at multiple positions if numbers get thin and maybe some special teams work
