It may be just his first season as the Hurricanes’ coach, but Mark Richt is a savvy veteran that knows the ins and outs of the recruiting landscape – especially the one in South Florida.
In his 15 years at Georgia, Richt managed – more than once – to steal a few prospects out of the Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County area that he’s now mining diligently for players at Miami.
One issue he’s learned quickly? How year in and year out there’s too much talent locally for the Hurricanes to keep everyone home.
