The month of July means the recruiting cycle for college football programs is about halfway over.

With that being said, it is never too early to project what UM's recruiting class could look like on National Signing Day in 2019.

Miami currently has 16 commitments locked in with this 2019 class and their class currently ranks No. 15 overall in the country according to the 247Sports Composite Recruiting Team Rankings. The Hurricanes currently have the third ranked 2019 class in the ACC, trailing Clemson and Florida State.

The Hurricanes landed their best recruiting class in a decade in 2018, signing a class that finished ranked No. 8 in the 247Sports Recruiting Team Composite Rankings. Miami is looking to build on that momentum with this 2019 class.

Each year since his arrival at Miami, Richt has done a nice job of adding better talent to the roster through his recruiting classes. In 2016, Miami signed the No. 22 ranked recruiting class in the country according to the 247Sports Team Composite Rankings. Then in 2017, Richt's first full recruiting class at UM, the Hurricanes landed the No. 12 class nationally. The most recent class, the 2018 class, has been UM's best class in a decade.

Miami's recruiting has been on an upward trajectory since the arrival of coach Mark Richt and if the Hurricanes can have another successful year on the field in 2018, that trend should continue with this current 2019 class. The Hurricanes are once again putting a strong emphasis on the state of Florida and then picking and choosing interested high level prospects to chase across the country.

The Hurricanes are still chasing some of the top prospects in the state of Florida to add to the class as Mark Richt and the UM coaching staff look to stack another Top Ten class on top of last year's 2018 class.

What could Miami's 2019 class look like? Read on as we give our best guess on what UM's class could look like on National Signing Day.
