This week, the Miami Hurricanes basketball and football teams are in the news for reasons more than just their on-court performance. Two high-profile prospects, linebacker Kellen Wiley and running back Girard Pringle Jr., a Top247 pick, will be keeping a close eye on Miami as they prepare to take on USF at Raymond James Stadium. These Seffner, Florida, Armwood classmates, who are from the talented Bay Area, may have a significant influence on Miami’s football program in the future as the Hurricanes continue to build their recruitment pipeline in the area.
In terms of basketball, Andy Katz of NCAA.com has ranked Miami guard Nijel Pack among the top 15 three-point shooters going into the 2024–25 campaign. With 159 made from 344 attempts, Pack has impressive three-point shooting accuracy and is tied for seventh in Miami’s history. Pack is still a key player in spite of an injury-plagued 2023–24 season, and expectations are high for a season of redemption. With players like Jalen Blackmon, Jalil Bethea, and Matthew Cleveland at his disposal, Pack is expected to guide the Hurricanes to a successful year. His legacy at Miami is cemented by his incredible performance in the 2023 Final Four run, where he made seven three-pointers against Houston.
