It was<\/p>\n<p>As for the outlook itself, there were more than anyone could list. Consider the overview below. The forecasts below are in no particular order.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeremiah Smith<\/strong>, Wide Receiver, South Florida Express\/Ft.

I am looking for this young man.  There is no reason not to use Canes or any other program.<\/p>\n<p>He was arguably the most impressive player on day one of Battle Miami. His one-handed catch in the end his zone was phenomenal, as the following clip shows.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<p>An argument can be made from the entire class of 2024 that Smith is the best bet for joining the National Football League. It&#8217;s not just because of his physical prowess. But he certainly has many of them. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<p>Incredible in all categories of length, agility, turning, speed and hand-eye coordination. Equally important, he once again displayed an extraordinary maturity for someone not yet eighteen. Smith has long been deserving of being considered an elite contender, and yesterday proved that even more.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<p><strong>Zakuan Patterson<\/strong>ATH, Defcon 7v7 \/ Hollywood (Florida) Chaminade-Madonna &#8211; 2024<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-4\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-4\"\/>\n<p>Miami&#8217;s top recruit target, Patterson (see interview for details), played safety and cornerback at Defcon 7v7.
