Elite 5-Star Prospect Makes Feelings Clear After Official Visit to Miami
Elite 5-Star Prospect Makes Feelings Clear After Official Visit to Miami originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There's no doubt the Miami Hurricanes have had one of the most successful offseasons in college football, featuring an impressive 2026 recruiting class. Advertisement They already hold 11 total commitments, for a group that ranks No. 1 in the ACC and No. 7 in the nation, and it's clear that head coach Mario Cristobal has no intention of slowing down anytime soon. On Friday, the Hurricanes hosted athlete Lamar Brown for an official visit and in an article by On3's Chad Simmons, he revealed some insight on how things went. 'Miami been good to me ever since the first visit,' Brown said. 'The place and coaches make me comfortable. This official visit was great and I loved everything about it.' Of course, landing someone like Brown would be another major boost for Miami, as On3 Industry Rankings places him as a five-star recruit, the No. 1 athlete, the No. 1 player in Louisiana and the No. 7 player in the nation. Advertisement Miami isn't the only team looking to land his services, though, as he still has official visits lined up with the Texas Longhorns (June 8), the Texas A&M Aggies (June 13) and the LSU Tigers (June 20). As also noted by Simmons, even though Brown has played on both sides of the line throughout his high school career, Miami has been recruiting him to play on the defensive line. Miami Hurricanes head coach Mario Navarro-Imagn Images No matter which team he lands with, though, considering he already stands at 6-foot-3.5 and 285 pounds, Brown is the kind of player who can come in and compete for significant playing time as a true freshman.

After blowing out Columbia late Saturday, UM baseball needs one win to advance to super regional
The Miami Hurricanes baseball team — quite surprisingly — is just one win from its first NCAA regional title since 2016. Second baseman Dorian Gonzalez Jr. drove in a career-high eight runs, and Griffin Hugus fired a 123-pitch complete game as third-seeded Miami defeated the fourth-seeded Columbia Lions 14-1 late Saturday night. Miami (33-24) entered this regional coming off two straight 12-2 losses — at home to Notre Dame in the regular-season finale and in the Hurricanes' disappointing one-and-done ACC tournament performance, losing to Cal. 'We went in there [ACC tournament], fighting for our season,' Gonzalez said. 'To get beat the way we did, it would've been easy to get down on ourselves and say this might be it [for the season]. 'But we came back home and practiced hard. The coaches said it was one of the best weeks of practice we've had all year, and it has shown this week.' Maybe, as Allen Iverson once famously said, this was all about practice. Or, maybe this was a Miami team that underperformed most of the season but is now finally playing to its identity as one of college baseball's blue-bloods. Either way, the fact is that Columbia (30-18) will take on top-seeded/regional host Southern Miss (45-15) in an elimination game on Sunday afternoon. The winner of that game would have to beat Miami twice – on Sunday night and again on Monday — to win the regional. That alone puts Miami in a great situation. But Hugus' complete game also saved Miami's bullpen, which will enter Sunday night much fresher than whomever they have to play for the title. Miami's two starting pitchers so far in this regional — AJ Ciscar and Hugus — have combined to allow just four runs in 16 innings (2.25 ERA). That means Miami's bullpen has had to cover just two innings, thanks in large part to Hugus. 'Griffin is one of those guys who always complains when we take him out of the game,' Miami coach J.D. Arteaga said after Saturday's win. 'We have explained to him that there will come a time when we're going to ask him for 120-plus pitches when we really need it, and that's what happened [on Saturday].' Meanwhile, Gonzalez is the beneficiary of batting one spot behind Hurricanes star third baseman Daniel Cuvet, who is hitting .386 with 19 doubles, one triple, 17 homers, a 1.196 OPS and 81 RBI in 56 games. In two games in this regional, Cuvet is hitting 4 for 6 with five runs scored, five RBI, three walks, two doubles, one homer and zero men left on base. 'I'm hitting behind one of the best — if not the best — hitter in the country,' Gonzalez said. 'I know the team trusts me to hit behind Cuvet. I just have to keep coming through like I did [Saturday night].' Indeed, Gonzalez — Miami's cleanup hitter — had a monster game Saturday with a grand slam, a three-run homer and an RBI single, going 3 for 4. Arteaga said teams may now have to reconsider whether to walk Cuvet to get to Gonzalez. 'We have a lot of guys who are key factors on this team,' Arteaga said, 'but Dorian hitting behind Cuvet is a big one.' Gonzalez, who is hitting .267 with an .808 OPS, 10 homers and 54 RBI, was asked if teams intentionally walking Cuvet bothers him. 'It definitely lights a fire in me,' Gonzalez said. 'But, at the same time, I have to go up there with the same approach. Stay calm, and stick to the game plan.' Miami on Sunday night will start right-hander Tate DeRias (2-2, 3.98), and Gonzalez is confident in the Hurricanes freshman. In fact, Gonzalez is confident in his entire team. 'We're not done,' Gonzalez said. 'We're going to finish the job [on Sunday].'

Gonzalez hits grand slam, 3-run HR as Miami beats Columbia 14-1 at Hattiesburg Regional
HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — Dorian Gonzalez Jr. hit a grand slam, a three-run home run and finished with eight RBIs, Griffin Hugus pitched a complete game and No. 3 seed Miami beat Columbia 14-1 at the Hattiesburg Regional on Saturday night. Hugus (6-7) allowed a run on eight hits with a walk and nine strikeouts. Advertisement Miami (33-24) advanced to the championship round and awaits the winner of a loser-out game between Columbia and host Southern Miss, which the fourth-seeded Tigers beat 11-4 in the opening round on Friday. Both the No. 4 national seed Golden Eagles and Columbia would have to beat the Hurricanes twice to win the double-elimination regional. Daniel Cuvet opened the scoring with a two-RBI double off Columbia starter Thomas Santana (5-4) in the first inning. The sophomore has 81 RBIs this season, just the sixth player in program history with at least 80 in a single season. Max Galvin had three hits, including a double and a home run, two RBIs and scored three runs for the Hurricanes. Anton Lazits hit a solo homer in the fourth for Columbia (30-18). ___ AP college sports:
