    May 28 2026

    🚨 THE STARS ARE OUT IN THE 305 🚨

    This weekend in Coral Gables feels less like an official visit weekend and more like a full-blown recruiting summit for the future of the Miami Hurricanes. On this episode of U Heard, Benny is joined by recruiting insider EJ Holland from ON3 / Rivals to break down one of the most talent-packed visitor lists Mario Cristobal has assembled yet — and trust us, there’s enough star power to light up South Beach.

    Miami welcomes FOUR 5-stars to campus, headlined by elite DB commits ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Donte Wright and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nick Lennear, while the Canes continue battling blue bloods for names like Julius Jones, Kaden Henderson, and Jaiden Bryant. From trench monsters to lockdown DBs, this visitor list has a little bit of EVERYTHING.

    Can Miami continue stacking loafers in silence? Can the Canes hold off Notre Dame, Oregon, LSU, Florida, Texas A&M and the rest of the vultures circling around South Florida talent? We break down the commits, the flip candidates, the biggest battles, and what Cristobal and staff MUST accomplish this weekend.
