How Manny Diaz made the most of Miami’s shaky recruiting situation on Signing Day

The last news of the day on Wednesday for the University of Miami football program began within the first minute of coach Manny Diaz’s inaugural National Signing Day press conference.

“Breaking news,’’ Diaz said, noting that “this is not just from sources inside the program. This is actually a real story.’’

Then, Diaz announced the 24th member of the 2019 Hurricanes signing class — fittingly another transfer on a day that there were three substantial ones. Four-and-a-half hours after four-star Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons defensive end Khris Bogle chose the Florida Gators over UM, Diaz said that former Virginia Tech standout defensive end Trevon Hill had signed his Letter of Intent to play as a graduate transfer.
