Miami predicted to be a three-seed after week 2

I will be writing a mailbag column this week before Miami hosts Ball State.

If you have any questions about the football team so far, drop them here and I will answer as many as I can!

A look around the country here:

I think the ball could be in Miami's court here

The 2026 four-star CB from Seffner (Fla.) Armwood who's committed to Florida was at Miami this weekend and he told he he "totally loved" the visit. He's expected to return with his mom and others so the Hurricanes are definitely working hard on a flip here.

What do you think the final score will be?

Despite many other players expected to transfer from the program, Freshman standout Daniel Cuvet will likely stay with the Miami baseball program.

Cuvet broke Miami's freshman home run record with 24, passing Pat Burrell's 1996 mark, and coming one RBI shy of tying Ryan Braun's record in 2003. He slashed.351/.429/.736 with 15 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases. His 170 total bases rank eighth on Miami's single-season list.

Cuvet is set to play in the Cape Cod Baseball League, which begins June 15, with the Brewster Whitecaps until he tries out for the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team on June 26-27.

Cuvet has two years of eligibility left.

Miami is well ahead of its rivals so far in the 2024 season.

The Canes dominated Florida in the Swamp, and Florida State has been upset by two conference opponents to start the season.

Miami can take advantage of recruiting while rivals continue to tumble in perception.

Here's some of the latest buzz regarding Miami recruits and flip targets:

Kellen Wiley Jr, who we saw dominate against Miami Norland to open the year, has added the Miami offer and plans to make his first trip to a Canes game Saturday. UM just lost Elijah Melendez so this could become a priority prospect for the staff.

Wrote about Wiley last month:

Hey everyone! I am happy to join Marcus on the CanesCounty team.

I am adding a weekly mailbag column.

If you have Miami Hurricanes questions heading into week 2, send them here and I will answer them on the site later this week!

According to ESPN, Miami is expected to perform well in Mario Cristobal's third year as head coach.

Miami ranks in the top ten of ESPN's Power Rankings​

No. 9 Miami Hurricanes​

As soon as quarterback Cam Ward arrived via the transfer portal in January, expectations around the Hurricanes in Year 3 under Mario Cristobal started to rise. Everyone saw why against Florida in a performance that will go down in the history books in the once-annual rivalry game. Ward threw for 385 yards and three touchdowns, often looking nonchalant as he stepped back to pass. Maybe that is because his offensive line protected him all day, giving him the confidence to sit in the pocket and take his time. Even when he did have to scramble out, he still made jaw-dropping plays, including one across his body to Jacolby George in the back of the end zone for a touchdown.

Beyond his performance, Miami is starting to look the way Cristobal has planned since his arrival: Tough and physical on the offensive and defensive lines. The Hurricanes will be favored in their next three nonconference games, starting Saturday against Florida A&M. But Cristobal knows a big opening win only means so much. To back up the statement that was made, they have to keep winning. -- Andrea Adelson

1. Georgia, 2. Ohio State, 3. Texas, 4. Alabama, 5. Notre, Dame, 6. Penn State and 7. Ole Miss and 8. Oregon are ranked ahead of the Hurricanes.

NC State, Clemson, and Georgia Tech are the other conference teams ranked in the top 25.

FSU, UF and Miami are Williams' top three, and he's already seen games at the other two stops in the state so this could be a big visit if The U wants Williams in the boat. He wants to stay in the state for college.

FSU falls to 2-0.
