Alright, 'Canes Nation, welcome back to U Heard! The guys are here to break down what was a massive recruiting weekend for the Miami Hurricanes. After a jam-packed schedule of official visits, we're diving into all the details and giving you the inside scoop on who was in town and what it could mean for the future of the U.

The Hurricanes rolled out the red carpet for a whopping 17 prospects for official visits this past weekend. Headlining the group was, of course, five-star offensive line commit Jackson Cantwell, the No. 1 overall player in the country according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.

We also saw several other commits making their way to Coral Gables, including quarterback Dereon Coleman, offensive lineman Joel Ervin, linebacker Jordan Campbell, cornerback Jaelen Waters, and defensive back Jontavius Wyman.

On the defensive line, Miami hosted a pair of Top 100 talents in Buford (Ga.) five-star Bryce Perry-Wright and Miami (Fla.) Northwestern's James Johnson. The Hurricanes were battling Clemson, Texas, Texas A&M, and Auburn for Perry-Wright, while Johnson arrived with a long list of suitors, including Texas, Florida, Georgia, Penn State, and Syracuse.

Also visiting on the defensive line were Tyson Bacon from Hoover (Ala.), Freddie Wilson from Port Orange (Fla.) Spruce Creek, and EDGE Kosi Okpala from Houston (Texas), Mayde Creek. Miami had offered Okpala this spring, and Bacon had previously visited the program.

In the secondary, defensive back Tyriq Green, a teammate of Perry-Wright, was a top target for Will Harris and Zac Etheridge and made his anticipated visit to Miami. Georgia, Florida State, and Auburn were also heavily involved in his recruitment.

Four-star safety Devin Jackson, who had previously committed to Harris when he was at Florida before backing off that pledge, was also in attendance. LSU, Oregon, and Nebraska were in the mix alongside Miami for the blue-chipper out of Orlando (Fla.) The First Academy.

On the offensive side of the ball, both of Miami's top remaining offensive line targets were visiting: Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy interior lineman Breck Kolojay and Tampa Bay (Fla.) Tech interior lineman Canon Pickett. Kolojay had multiple national contenders, including Oklahoma, Colorado, USC, Georgia, and Ohio State, while Pickett, a Miami legacy, was also high on Clemson and Florida.

Finally, Top247 tight end Heze Kent, a top priority for the program, the 6-foot-5, 280-pound jumbo athlete from Brunswick (Ga.), was also in Coral Gables this past weekend. Florida was believed to be the primary contender for Kent, and Miami had a chance to make a strong case after the Gators hosted him the week prior.

What were the vibes like? What intel did we gather? Tune in to U Heard as the guys break down every angle of this critical recruiting weekend!
