The Miami Hurricanes will look to build more recruiting momentum after beating LSU and Florida State for four star cornerback Jaboree Antoine. The Hurricanes are actively recruiting four star corner Ben Hanks Jr and five star defensive lineman Iose Epenesa. Hanks is a local standout from Booker T Washington, but he’s a Florida Gators legacy. Can the Hurricanes beat out their rivals in Gainesville? Epenesa, meanwhile, is an Iowa legacy, but recent trends have considered his recruitment to be a Miami vs Utah battle.

Host Alex Donno talks to Locked On Network recruiting expert Brian Smith. Smith weighs in on where Miami stands with Hanks, Epenesa, and with five star wide receiver Jaime Ffrench. Brian explains why he will favor the Miami Hurricanes to beat the Florida Gators on August 31st. Donno shares quotes from Miami offensive lineman Anez Cooper about how the Hurricanes have shed negative players from their roster. According to Cooper says a couple of teammates “didn’t want to be here” last season, but the players in question have moved on.
