2. Jadon Haselwood, WR

Jadon Haselwood is a top ranked receiver in the country and the Hurricanes are in dire need of a big-play wide out. He has size, at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds and speed being clocked at 4.5 in the 40-yard dash.

A five-star, elite prospect, Haselwood is being recruited heavily by the Oklahoma Sooners and his in-state SEC program the Georgia Bulldogs. It will be hard to lure him away from Georgia who has Jake Fromm at quarterback or Oklahoma who has produced back-to-back Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks under Lincoln Riley.

Haslewood is a start-now prospect that will make an immediate impact wherever he signs. Miami is in dire need after Jeff Thomas transferred away and Ahmmon Richards was forced to retire with a neck injury. Miami also has tight end Brevin Jordan banged up and prospects Mike Harley and Dee Wiggins have shown flashes but also have struggled.

Mark Richt knows the Georgia recruits and their coaches from his time at UGA as the head coach but without an elite offensive coordinator or quarterback — prospects have been weary to sign in Coral Gables.

Prediction: Signs with Oklahoma
