Miami Receiver Verbals To Charlie Strong
Home is where the heart is.
Michaelee Harris, a talented Miami Northwestern High School wide receiver, once told a sportswriter that he had always been a University of Miami football fan.
“I would be kidding you if I didn’t say that the Hurricanes weren’t my top choice,” he said. “It would be a dream to play at home, with people I know, staying close to family.”
That was last spring, before anyone envisioned Charlie Strong leaving Gainesville and the University of Florida to accept the head coaching job at the University of Louisville.
Harris, a four-star recruit by major scouting services, has made a verbal commitment to play football at Louisville, choosing U of L over offers from Miami, Kansas State, Mississippi, Mississippi State, West Virginia and Rutgers.
Strong is obviously one incredible recruiter, making a convincing case for Harris to become a part of his new football family. Louisville fans are eager to make him feel right at home.

It sure builds my confidence to have a head coach who can once again recruit talented players from Florida. I can’t even remember the last time I heard the words “Four-Star Recruit” and “Louisville” used in the same sentence. If you can’t get excited about the work Coach Strong is doing, then you need to pull your head out of your past. We are getting “Stronger” every day!
GO CARDS!
Just the beginning, Clay. A very impressive start for Charlie Strong.
