UM lands top recruit, building Plantation pipeline; Canes notes

Some Hurricanes notes on a Wednesday:

• When UM snagged a commitment Tuesday from Class of 2018 four-star Plantation American Heritage defensive tackle Nesta Silvera, two Hurricanes assistants had particular reason to be happy: defensive line coach Craig Kuligowski (who will need to replenish his defensive front in the next couple of years) and cornerbacks coach Mike Rumph.

Why Rumph?

He says he feels pressure to help lure players from American Heritage, where he coached from 2013 to 2015 before Mark Richt hired him after Richt arrived 17 months ago.

“I put pressure on myself to do that,” Rumph told me on Signing Day earlier this month.
