2013 recruiting from Jimmy D Smith - Jerrol Mobley 2013 DT from Hialeah just received his first offer from Tennessee. Mobley is also hearing from Miami and other BCS programs

Felipe.

Apparently Poole's still solid to UF, but he has the LOI to ND as well. Powell, nobody knows for sure.

Yeah I dunno, I think Muschamp is the inverse Zook in terms of having an amiable personality. My guess, based on the sideline antics only. [/pure bs speculation disclaimer]

I don't see how McCord is catching the "wavering" or "soft verbal" tag. Wasn't he texting uncommitted recruits of UM when he was on his USC visit trying to get them to commit.

IDK it makes no sense to me. He supposedly said that Howard and Young are 'Cane locks.

Its official... I am no longer able to concentrate on work!

ftmcane

How is a school like Florida (Ya, I hate em too, but they're very well known and in the $EC) losing all these top recruits? I'm hearing they're gonna miss on Angholor, Hamilton, Howard, and now Poole and Powell?

Wow.

Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 31, 2012 at 12:09 PM

Just the fact that this is being mentioned should be enough for Howard to not choose trailorville.

I heard Skreetz earlier singing this

I am not sure is this a sign that Howard comes?

Tell Uncle Luke I'm out in Miami too
Clubbing hard, f---ing women, ain't much to do

Wrist blancpain, got a condo up in Biscayne
Still getting brain from a thang, ain't sh-t changed
How you feel how you feel how you feel?
Twenty five sittin on 25 mil
I'm in the building and I'm feeling myself

Now she want a photo
You already know though
You only live once, that's the motto, ni--a Yolo
We bout it every day, every day, every day
Like we sitting on the bench, ni--a we don't really play
Every day, every day, f--k what anybody say
Can't seem 'em cause the money in the way
Real ni--a, what's up?


UpNorthCane

SO Will Ohio and Soup let us know all the insider info they recieved throughout the days leading up to the maddness known as NSD once the recrutis are all signed up?

Ohio_Cane

Tracy Howard announcement moved from 9:35am to 9:50am...

Why they gotta mess with us?!?! LOL

Ohio_Cane

UpNorth, U'll have to ask SOUP if that's allowed. I'll let him tell U any he wants to let out.

Ohio will there be anyway that you can provide links to live feeds of hurricane desicions?

Ohio_Cane

I sure can. I'll post em as soon as I know em in the morning. I'll be logged on here around 6:30 am tomorrow.

I'll be posting the decisions here first, then on twitter afterwards. If that's OK with SOUP?

Apparently Rick Ross "Bawse" is performing at Halftime of the "decision"

Maybe Drake can sing a hook like

Bet she went to Howard.... Knowing you

2 rivals analysts have changed their prediction on Darius Hamilton while 3 have changed their Howard pick to #Miami #Canes #NSD

Wiz Khalifah is remaking "black and Yellow"

"Orange and Green"

whooo hooo. Errything I do I do it big!!!

Ohio_Cane

FYI, all my announcments tomorrow will look like this, even if they're not confirmed LOI's, considering we have 5-7 possibilities being announced on TV tomorrow:

"WELCOME TO THE U - PLAYER NAME"

I won't be adding height, weight, 40 time, high school, etc. Got enough to do lol

Ohio_Cane

Wells Dusenberry - Hokie commit Jawand Blue's HS coach says they're expecting to hear from Miami today about possible offer for Blue.

As ohio cane's agent, we have some negotiating to do

Ohio_Cane

Also, be careful what link U click tomorrow if any are posted here. Check and make sure U know the blogger, and if not, wait a while.

Trolls will be everywhere, and SOUP will be working hard to get them deleted ASAP.

Ohio_Cane

Looking more and more like Jawand Blue is Reggie Northrup's back-up plan. JMO.

Well, let's start with the facts, he's a Georgia Bulldog alum who's coaching at his rival school, then there's the fact he spent time living in Gaineshell as a kid and sold them out because Spurrier didn't drop everything to try and convince him to walk on and instead left him waiting in the plush office for longer than he wanted to.

Now, add in the only marginally disputable details that he was basically a slow, white, midget doofus as a player at UGA who got beat the F' down with regularity and then oversaw the worst season at Texas in twenty years as an assistant coach, cue the, "it wasn't the defenses fault," from the few supporters he has left right now like the defense can still do its job when it gives up more points than the offense scores, and you could basically make the case that the Zook hire was a better misstep than what the Turds are getting ready to endure. Does the Swamp still rock when the home team is getting booed off the field I wonder?

LB

Wow. You all are expecting some madness. A little madness isn't bad for anyone, however. Keeps things interesting.

I bought myself a shirt and jersey last night. It's been a few years since I picked up any Canes gear. I thought it best to show my colors and annoy the locals up here.

I expect at least one of those big names to sign with Miami. Golden's too talented a closer (2011- Chickillo, Perryman, Crawford, 2012- Waters, Hamilton) not to get at least one.

Perhaps someone not even mentioned...

...a big name WR, perhaps? That would shock me most of all.

CGNC

OMG OVG!!! "slow white midget doofus". That is too funny!!!!!

Jack

Romney 2012 all day!!!

The fact that Corey Long told UMike that he's basically just guessing goes back to what I was saying about him not really knowing more than the chain-gang crew with the 1st Down marker on the football field of these high school games

They have the ability to hear just as much or talk to the kids just as much as Corey Long does - thing is, a lot of them don't even care b/c they're either local Shriner/Elk Club/Rotary Club guys that are doing it for fun or sometimes guys who are also high school refs that just circulate all over the place

Long just happens to have the mothership in Bristol tag & his own little recruiting column next to his name

Still laughing at him saying that McCord wasn't going to Miami, tweeting it and then having it re-tweeted by everyone that follows him .. including some local Prep Sports jabronis here who pass off opinions/guesses as fact

To tell you the truth, the invention of Twitter/Facebook/MySpace/etc. has actually helped add to the monster known as irresponsible journalism

It's like a rumor started in a hair salon somewhere that then goes into the neighborhoods of desperate housewives .... times 1 Billion

Ohio_Cane

CaneSport on Dequan Ivery - gr8 2 hear Dequan is leaning toward signing w/ Canes. If he gets mom on board it'll B done deal 2morrow. Go Canes!

Hassan

http://businessofcollegesports.com/2012/01/23/conference-recruiting-expense-series-top-50-spenders/


I know this is for total sports but for the sake of argument each of our 33 recruits cost us $17,935.00

That is the Buget here at the U #47 in the nation in terms of spending. We are blessed to be able to drive to hundreds of D1 recruits and spend little money.

Tennessee on the other hand is spending $93,938.00 on avg for their 20 recruits.


It is easy to see the $EC has money to burn, but we would al be foolish to see that the public money disparity is not similair to the "black budget" disparity.

500k a year to chunk 100k each to your top 5 recruits or so sounds like the going rate these days. I do not think all recruits take money but out of the top recruits I would say 25% or 5 out of 20 sounds like a conservative estimate.

Jacory info


#10 Jacory Harris (6'3/195, Miami)
Current Draft Projection: Undrafted Free Agent (UFA)

Notes: Harris will be looking to force himself up the big board with a strong showing. He needs to come in bigger than his current listed 195 pounds and prove that he can be more consistent than his 48 career college interceptions might suggest

herbieibis

Less than 24 hrs and all our unknowns will be knowns. We will toss & turn in bed tonight, because the excitement of signing day is upon us. Who will we get, that is left is the 64,ooo dollar question. As I've said before this is like watching the last 10 laps a Daytona. First one guy is in front, then another but until they speak all we can do is speculate.
As I've stated before I like this class but if we haul in a couple, like Hamilton & Howard, I'm going to be loving it. I'm tired of these dudes coming down to visit the weekend before signing day and then giving us the thumbs down on signing day. The worm has got to turn for us tomorrow.
Golden has loaded up with some talent & prospects at WR & DB. He also loaded up with Prospects at QB. I'm not so sold on the talent aspect yet, with this group.
If and when we lose Northrup, the LB position will really need to be hit hard next year. At one time we had 5 verballed and may be down to 2, with Northrup bolting.
I like the talent & prospects we have on the DL but we still don't have that it factor at DT. The OL looks pretty good with the 3 guys we have coming in. I look for at least half these guys to be r-shirted, especially the prospects (NR) guys. Golden is the man, he's a hustler and when we start getting results on the field look the hell out! This man could be visiting a living room near you, in the future. Great move by Mario by sticking with FIU and thus giving us a real chance with Hamilton.

Ohio_Cane

Matt Porter - Interesting tidbit: Avery Young's HS coach says he has never met Canes head coach Al Golden.

Odd...

BEERicane

Goldman - Cane
Howard - Cane

The Dude

Ive never been so happy for a doc appoinment, it cancels work tomorrow.

The Dude

How many scholarships are left?

CaneFan47

Glad i'm on the west coast, I think ill sleep in tomorrow so I can wake up to all the excitement and not have to wait.

The Dude

Posted by: UpNorthCane | January 31, 2012 at 12:31 PM

Thats funny.

Ohio_Cane

Papa Cane - My Predictions: OL Avery Young - UGA. LB Josh Harvey Clemons - UGA. DT Darius Hamilton - Rutgers. CB Tracy Howard - Miami.

How can you sleep? I'll be up at 6am on the dot. Same drill every year.

The Dude

I agree w/ Papa Cane. Would love to see us grab Goldman though no chance.

The Dude

I wonder how many kids hold out this year... It feels like it could be alot this time around.

Ohio_Cane

I disagree with Papa Cane on Hamilton. I think he picks Canes. JMO.

Really funny considering that when Muschump was hired, the swamp lizard fans were proclaiming they just showed us how a coaching search was done... Lulz

Ohio_Cane

FYI - Hearing Northrup will stay committed to UM.

Ohio_Cane

^^ Not insider info, btw. Just what I'm hearing from a few different people.

I think we can work something out....maybe a round of beers or shots when we all get to meet up down in miami for a game....

UpNorthCane

Is anyone traveling to Boston for the Miami vs BC game this upcoming football season? its early but figured is ask and see if anyone was planning on doing the trip

UMike

Ohio..didnt Golden and staff just have dinner with Young? lol

Ohio_Cane

Ya, but apparently not his coach. Porter saying they've never met.

Ohio_Cane

Allen Hurns - Hope tomorrow we get Tracy howard to the U

UMike

Ohio..i read that wrong..my bad lol

UMike

Papa Cane - Congratulations to CB Larry Hope. He is now an official early enrollee at the University of Miami. Huge news!

TheWhat

i think hamilton stays with rutgers. Rutgers head coach is a great recruiter eveidently and has already had 2 of their top prospects confirm their commitment to Rutgers.

Ohio_Cane

Papa Cane - Congratulations to CB Larry Hope. He is now an official early enrollee at the University of Miami. Huge news!

Ohio_Cane

Damn it, UMike! Lol

UpNorthCane

So Larry hope is in......Ohio how many schollies do we have for sure

Ohio_Cane

I'm so lost on how many schollies. Ask someone else lol.

I'm all over kids and who's coming and not coming to UM.

Hassan

Larry Hope Is in!!! 10EE's


He just tweeted he got in

that gives us 3 Schollies for tomorrow.


I think our theme song for tomorrow is

"Hustle Hard"

Ace Hood

UMike

Yea..at this point, I have no clue on the spots left lol..thought we had 2 left, then Crawford took one..idk if those 2 sports were including Hope or not, and imo Northrup will open a spot, I just wonder why Blue is waiting on an offer, Golden must be waiting to hear from someone

UpNorthCane

Ok so lets say we got 3 left then that means its a done deal and ill be the first to report on Triple H comitting tomorrow

Harvey-clemons
Howard
Hamilton

UMike

32 commits, if we have 10 ee's, we will have 3 spots..although I thought we have 9 including hope

herbieibis

Goldman: FSU or Bama
Clemmons: UGA (home boy)
Hamilton: Rutgers or "DA U" gut says he stays home)
Williams: since he didn't visit, Flo or USC
Northrup": FSU, If not he'll stay with us.
Blue: only if Northrup bolts, otherwise Va. Tech.
Howard: a month ago I'd say Flo. or FSU but now I say we scoop him.
Hope I'm wrong on a couple of those guys but with that said we still will have a couple ships left, if we only get Howard. Who does that leave us? Well one might be that 6'9 OL Sonny something or another or Dequan Ivory, he's a little on the short side but if we go to a 3-4 de, he'd fit perfectly. We are probably a year away from switching over full time or at least until we get a few more LB's.

calGary Cane

Posted by: UMike | January 31, 2012 at 03:16 PM

Don't forget to factor in that he is an EE!

Ohio_Cane

Can someone post a list of which 9 EE's we have? I'm researching how many schollies should be left.

UMike

Larry Hope
Josh Witt
Crow
Gadbios
Flowers
Kirby
Dewey
Gunter

is all I have

Ohio_Cane

Umike, add Holiett to that. So that's 9.

Going by Rivals list of commits, if NO ONE decommits, including Northrup, we have 2 scholarships left.

TheWhat

I believe there are 34 spots in total with Hope EEing. Not sure how many are left but I gotta say I love Al Golden. The man works hard and has brought in what I believe will be a foundation laying class of great things to come. I think we are going to see 3 maybe 4 gems in this class that are 3 stars turning into 5 stars. Off the top of my head, Jacoby Briscoe, Antonio Crawford, Gabriel Terry

UMike

I thought we were at 9, not 10.

Brevardcane

The DE from Vero should me an EE too

Ohio_Cane

I'm just saying, as of RIGHT NOW, barring any more EE's or decommits, or anything, Canes have 2 schollies to give.

Ohio_Cane

I thought we were at 9, not 10.

Correct. We have 9 EE's now, including Hope.

____________________________________________


I think we have 3, because of Hope's EE

Ohio_Cane

Hassan, I counted Hope.

herbieibis

Ohio,
That article on Howard, sounds like he's more of a Deon Sanders, not much of a tackler but velcro covering WR's.

Hassan

Forston got invited to the combine, I say he test well and is 3rd fo 4th rd.

UMike

hassan..Hope made 9 EE's..we have 32 current commits, take away the 9 and you have 23 our of 25 spots..leaving 2 (still including northrup)

UpNorthCane

What if Muschump, Fisher, and Richt all texted Josh harvey Clemons while he didn have his phone , and they spoke about offering him money girls etc. now wouldnt that be nice to have as evidence if you were miami... lolll

Hassan

We have 31 commits + 3 tomorrow=34 recruits- 9 EE's =25 for this class.

Ohio_Cane

Where did U get the +3 for tomorrow?

We have 32 commits right now (according to Rivals), subtract 9 of those as EE, that equals 23 commits that count towards 2012.

UpNorthCane

wow talk about ripping miami in that article sbnation...

BEERicane

I just spoke with E Goldman and asked him about his thought process and what will happen tomorrow. He said the only thing he doesn't know is whether he or tracy howard will make miami fans (then joked about what of them there were) happier by their play at the U.

(note, the above was a del[]_[]sional conversation)

UMike

Hassan, I counted 32 commits per Rivals

UMike

Ohio..do you think it is good or bad or neither that Howards mom posted the link to an article that predicts he is picking Miami?

BEERicane

I think it is actually a competition to see which fan base leaves the most comments and that will be the school he attends.

UMike

BEER..could be right lol

Ohio_Cane

UMike, she will. Give it time. She can't resist posting anything at this point.

ftmcane

was driving at lunch and the radio personality said that podunksville was expecting a big day tomorrow and mentioned hamilton. the turd fans in fort myers make me sick. i started to yell at the radio.

CanesFanStuckInCali

Is there any way that Lockhart can still become an EE? What's the deadline? If he can, then that would bring us up to 10 EEs/3 schollies to give out. Right?

GO CANES!!!

herbieibis

I think the turds will be a little upset after tomorrow.

Hassan

Since we have 4 or 5 big dogs still on the hook plus a couple other guys, like Blue & Ivery, what happens if they all decide for the "U"? Great problem to have.

Ohio_Cane

Who was just saying the other day about picking between 3 Canes hats?!?!?


Hahahahah, Duke is doing JUST THAT!! LOVE this kid!!


UM commit Duke Johnson says he'll still pick a hat on signing day (from 3 different colored Canes hats) #like it
