Miami uses its former players to help build recruiting excitement
Every school looks for any edge it can get in recruiting. Miami has plenty to sell, but one of its biggest assets has nothing to do with coaches riding in helicopters or tricked-out football facility toys.
Many former players are still intimately connected to the program. Coach Mark Richt began building bridges to alumni when he arrived last year, and now the Hurricanes have taken that one step further with a unique approach.
To herald its 10 early enrollees, Miami unveiled a dedicated page on its athletic department website called MiamiSquad17.com. The twist? Each enrollee has a former Miami player breaking down his respective high school game tape on video.
