Miami reportedly nearing a deal for home-and-home series with rising Group of 5 team

They seem to be going into a prime recruiting ground

Miami just finished a home-and-home series with Group of 5 power Appalachian State, and the Hurricanes are reportedly set to play another home-and-home series with a non-Power 5 team.

According to Philly.com, Miami and Temple have agreed to a home-and-home series for 2020 and 2023.

The Owls will visit Miami in 2020, and the Hurricanes will make the return trip to Philadelphia in 2023.

Miami is no stranger to playing a Group of 5 team on the road. The Hurricanes visited Appalachian State last year, and they will visit Arkansas State this year. The road game against the Red Wolves doesn't make much sense, but playing in Philadelphia could certainly help with recruiting the Northeast.

Mark Richt and the Hurricanes have non-conference home-and-home's set up with Michigan State and Texas A&M in the future, and they also will play neutral site games against LSU and Florida. Miami plays Notre Dame several times in the future as a part of Notre Dame's deal with the ACC.
