**The Hurricanes need speed and immediate help at receiver next season with Stacy Coley gone. One name that fits that bill is JUCO WR Marquise Brown from College of the Canyons in Cali. Brown is originally out of Hollywood, Florida and graduated from South Broward HS. The speedster is over 1000 yards and 10 touchdowns on the season with two games left on the schedule. He was offered by USC over the weekend on his visit and has also recently been offered by UNC, Tennessee, TCU, Oregon and West Virginia. Miami is inquiring about him behind the scenes, but they better move quickly with the way his recruitment has heated up. Brown told me that Canes WR coach Ron Dugans contacted him two days ago and told him that he wanted to get to know him better.

**If DeAndre Wilder visits Miami, it will be in the offseason. He does not have anything scheduled with them as of now. I’ve heard that Auburn leads for Wilder at the moment and he is a take for the Tigers. The Carol City linebacker has already visited Auburn officially as well.
**Amid talk that 2018 Canes commit Joshua Jobe has Alabama as his leader, both him and fellow 2018 commit Gilbert Frierson were at practice last night. The Crimson Tide have been on Jobe hard for months. Columbus alum Mario Cristobal using his ties at the school to his advantage, but this is a prospect that Miami must not lose. This is Jobe’s final season playing high school ball due to his age, but the next year and change will be an absolute roller coaster to follow his recruitment. He is most likely headed to a prep school up north.
**The number one overall target on Miami’s board for 2018 is Southridge wide receiver Mark Pope, according to sources. After having watched Pope live multiple times this season and over the summer, he is definitely a must-get. Pope is heavily regarded by Alabama and they hope to plunge into south Florida for yet another elite receiver prospect (Amari Cooper in 2012, Calvin Ridley in 2015, and Jerry Jeudy in 2017).
**Keep a close eye on Jordan Cronkrite, who is no longer with the UF program and there could be potential mutual interest between him and Miami. Cronkrite was a former Miami commitment in the 2014 class of running backs that once boasted Mark Walton, Dexter Williams, Jordan Scarlett, and Cronkrite. He ultimately signed with the Gators and has been their #2 running back this season. Nothing is guaranteed, but Miami is looking into the situation.
**The Hurricanes remain the leader for running back Anthony McFarland.
**Defensive end commit D.J. Johnson has made some spectacular plays during his senior season. The clips below are from a game two weeks ago.

**Freshman corner Malek Young projects as a starter next season in place of graduating Corn Elder and Adrian Colbert. Young saw meaningful snaps against Notre Dame last weekend and his role has gradually increased throughout the season. Sheldrick Redwine is expected to hold the other boundary corner spot in 2017. Trajan Bandy has had a superb senior season at Columbus and will be the frontrunner to win the starting nickel spot. Miami expects Bandy will be an immediate contributor on special teams as well. His quick twitch ability is highlighted below.
