The biggest recruiting story for Miami this season will be the ability to flip local 5-star prospects James "JJ" Johnson and Calvin Russell. Both prospects were in attendance for Sunday's win against Notre Dame and the fallout has been very positive.

Russell left the game impressed and excited after seeing his best friend, Malachi Toney, ball out. But Russell, a Syracuse commit, is going to play this part of his recruitment slowly. Meanwhile, Johnson, a Texas commit, may have good news for Hurricanes fans sooner rather than later. On3/Rivals national recruiting writer Chad Simmons said he believes the defensive lineman is in line for a flip.
