2023 Miami Hurricanes Dream Recruiting Class (March edition)

There is only one way to consistently compete for championships in major college football. 

Recruiting. 

Stacking elite talent over a three to five year period is what it takes to build a championship level roster—and that is the challenge Miami head coach Mario Cristobal is charged with over the next few recruiting cycles. 

Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Clemson and now Texas A&M are all programs that have stacked elite talent over the past three to five cycles and they figured to be the primary teams that compete for their conference championships while making a run at the College Football Playoff. 

What does an elite recruiting class look like? This article looks to demonstrate the type of talent Miami will look to land in order to make the leap to a championship contending program. 

Cristobal is looking to take Miami’s recruiting efforts to another level. 

During the 247Sports era (since the 2011 cycle), UM has signed only two classes that have finished top ten: 2012 and 2018.

Cristobal will look to stack three top ten classes in consecutive years. 

If the 2022 transition class that Cristobal signed is any indication as to what is ahead, Miami’s recruiting prowess is going to reach another level moving forward. 

In only eight weeks, Cristobal elevated Miami’s class from a team ranking that was in the 70s to the No. 15 class in the country.

UM’s 2022 class was small with only 14 signees, but the average class ranking came in at a 91.68, which ranked as the best average in the ACC and the sixth best in the country.
