Breaking News:Dyoni Hill announce his departure and decommit from Miami hurricanes over BYU cougars, and auburn…
The five-star athlete was sporting Georgia and Auburn gloves at different times and they represent his next two trips. Auburn gets him on campus next weekend and then the Bulldogs get him back in town to kick off February. Miami hosted the local priority over the weekend, too, as top contenders begin to emerge for the two-way standout.The shifty South Florida native earned a scholarship offer from Boston College to kick off his weekend but the buzz around him surrounds a program on the other coast — UCLA. New Bruin offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri and Carlos have built a strong rapport over time and the initial interest from UCLA certainly has the rising-senior’s attention. Should the offer come in, that could signal a new program to eye in this emerging recruitment.
The Volunteer State quarterback is high on some ACC programs at this time in Louisville, Syracuse and Pitt — potentially in that order. Cherry has been up to Louisville more than the other programs and a return trip could soon be in the cards. An initial impression of Syracuse and Pitt could go a long way, and the trip to Central New York could be completed by February. Ole Miss has joined the race and could also soon host Cherry, who wants to come off the board with a decision in the summer months.
Miami’s Matthew Cleveland, who scored a game-high 31 points on Saturday, took questions from the media following the rough loss. He reflected mostly on the first half, when Miami trailed by as many as 38 points.
“That was embarrassing,” Cleveland said. “We need to fix things on the defensive end. We need to fix our effort and toughness.
“We only had two fouls in the first half. We weren’t playing hard enough. [SMU] was shooting 80 percent from the field [actually 76.5 percent in the first half, 69.2 percent for the game].”
Cleveland said Hurricanes interim coach Bill Courtney had some pointed comments at halftime.
