Earlier this offseason, the Miami Hurricanes attempted to lure Oregon Ducks cornerbacks coach Rashad Wadood to Miami to join their coaching staff. Wadood passed and stayed in Eugene.
It appears that Mario Cristobal and company have taken some issue with that and gone after Oregon on the recruiting trail.
A week ago, the Hurricanes flipped Georgia Bulldogs 5-star cornerback Donte Wright, who was projected to be an Oregon flip, and on Sunday, they flipped one of the top players in the Ducks‘ 2027 class, 4-star CB Ai’King Hall.
Hall is rated as the No. 73 player and No. 9 CB in the 2027 class, per the 247Sports Composite. He was the No. 2-ranked player in Oregon’s class, which ranked ninth in the nation before the commitment flip. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes now have a class that is getting even stronger, particularly at the cornerback position. With the addition of Hall, they have the No. 11 class in the nation, with a pair of CBs that rank among the top 75 players in the nation.
There are still several months until signing day, so there’s no reason for fans to panic, especially when it comes to Oregon’s recruiting in the defensive backfield, which has been elite over the past several years.
