The days leading up to National Signing Day aren't for the weak of heart and Thursday was more proof of that for the Miami Hurricanes.

Early in the day, Miami commit Brad Kaaya took to Twitter to debunk rumors that he'd decommitted and was headed to another program. The quarterback, who visited Boise State recently, shared his thoughts on social media tweeting, "I will be signing the National Letter of Intent issued to me by the University of Miami on National Signing Day February 5th."

Kaaya followed that with to two more messages: "The rumors of me de-committing from the University of Miami are false" and "No one can say otherwise."

Kaaya, a four-star prospect out of California, threw for nearly 4,000 yards this season and was an All-American.

But while Miami learned it would keep Kaaya in the fold, the Hurricanes lost junior college defensive tackle Michael Wyche who also took to Twitter to share his intentions. "Due ACC rule I am opening up my commitment and De committing...from the University of Miami."

The obscure rule Wyche referenced is conference bylaw that requires junior college players to be at the same junior college for three semesters before transferring to an ACC program. Wyche has not done that and a waiver appeal was denied.

Wyche's defection means the Hurricanes only have three commitments at defensive tackle, a position in which the Hurricanes need help. Junior college transfer Calvin Heurtelou has already enrolled and St. Thomas Aquinas defensive tackle Anthony Moten is expected to sign with Miami on Wednesday.

The Hurricanes are still trying to get former commit Travonte Valentine back in the fold after the Champagnat Catholic standout decommitted earlier this month, but the highly-rated prospect seems to be favoring LSU.
