Miami is off to a hot start this season, sitting at No. 4 in the nation with two top-25 wins already under their belt in just three games. The question in the Mario Cristobal era has never been about recruiting—he’s widely regarded as one of the best recruiters in the country. Every class he’s brought in has ranked inside the top 15, including two in the top 10.
This weekend, as the Hurricanes host the Florida Gators in the much-anticipated “Battle of Florida,” Cristobal is once again putting his recruiting prowess on display. Miami is set to host a loaded group of talent, with the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 6, No. 8, No. 11, No. 15, No. 16, No. 19, and No. 20 wide receivers in the country all expected to be in attendance.
With Miami rolling on the field and Cristobal stacking elite talent off it, this weekend’s clash with Florida is more than just a rivalry game—it’s a chance to make a statement. A win would not only keep the Hurricanes in the thick of the national title hunt but also further cement Miami as one of the premier destinations for the nation’s top recruits.
