The Miami Hurricanes’ pursuit of top-tier talent continues as five-star point guard Deron Rippey Jr. has trimmed his list of schools to 12 with Miami included. He also has an official visit to Coral Gables from August 27–29.
Rippey, a 6-foot-2, 175-pound standout at Blair Academy (N.J.) and star of the New Heights AAU program, is ranked No. 19 nationally overall in the 247Sports Composite and No. 2 among point guards. With over 40 offers, he's narrowed the competition to Alabama, Duke, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, North Carolina, NC State, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas, and Miami.
