Mario Cristobal finished strong on the recruiting trail for the Miami Hurricanes in less than two weeks on the job.
During the Early Signing Period, which ran Wednesday through Friday, Cristobal added Top 100 four-star prospects, DE Nyjalik Kelly and TE Jaleel Skinner, while also adding late bloomer, CB Jaden Harris, to the class.
As things stand at the end of the Early Signing Period, Miami’s 2022 class runs nine players deep and ranks No. 49 overall in the country.
While the class lacks quantity, it is full of quality with UM’s average class ranking checking in at 92.12, which ranks best in the ACC.
Miami signed eight players that are ranked four-star prospects. UM signed two players that rank inside the Top 100 according to the industry generated 247Sports Composite and six players that rank inside the Top247.
With that being said, however, there is still plenty more work to be done for Cristobal and UM as the Hurricanes look to close strong between now and the end of the traditional signing day in early February.
How good can this 2022 UM class be if Cristobal is able to close and land the top remaining targets on the board? This article looks to highlight a potential path top a Top 15 class.
That type of jump would be highly impressive with UM ranking in the 60s during the fall.
The next six weeks is an opportunity for Cristobal to stack talent at Miami and flex his recruiting muscle.
Miami has a realistic chance at landing a Top 15 class in 2022.
Read on for a look at how they can get it done and what the 247Sports Class Calculator says the potential for Miami’s 2022 class looks like.
