Hassan...is Carroll even allowed to go back and forth with Howards mom...i would think that is the same as talking about a recruit publicly

Posted by: UMike | January 30, 2012 at 09:06 AM

I am not even sure, I know it was before the dead period and it is his mom and facebook and twitter i think the NCAA has not totally figured out how to regulate yet.

Ohio_Cane

UMike and Hassan, I believe he can say whatever he wants to TH's mom, as long as it's not during the dead period, and he doesn't publicly mention TH's name.

SOUP

I bet the FSU coaches told Northrup to wait, stay committed then switch on signing day. Good press for FSU and leaves Miami in a bind

Posted by: UMike | January 30, 2012 at 09:33 AM

Look at U now, a conspracy theorist are U? LOL

I understand your disdain for the nasty recruiting game and Northrup's tactics but do NOT let your personal feelings get in the way. And don;t be sure he is "gone".

Could he be? Sure. Is he? Not so fast!

UpNorthCane

Let Northrup leave and lets pick up JH Clemons thats a big fast LB!!! Like golden said if your looking were looking and herb waters got that memo and solidified his commitment.

Hassan

Marvin Bracy just ran the WORLD's Fastest indoor 55m this year. a 6.08

For those counting the WR is 55 meters -- Obadele Thompson, Barbados, 5.99, Feb. 22, 1997

FSU kiss him good bye, he has some serious wheels, when he runs a SUB 9.9 this summer at the Olympic trials he will probably go pro.

Nice article on canes recruiting


SOUP

That's not a bad selling point by Muschamp IF He's using it.

Posted by: CaneRock | January 30, 2012 at 10:36 AM

Acording to some who claim to know what's up Muschamp is using a LOT more than just the "competition" angle to get TH to UF.

It will be an interesting decision for TH that UM fans will have to understand either way come NSD.

I hear ya' SOUP, but I'm not going there.
Not when we're living in a "glass house" ourselves...

UpNorthCane

TH seems like a bright kid who will see that if a coach is bad mouthing or negative recruiting another institution it will turn him off, and if Muschump is doing that then i expect to see TH become a cane because i can almost guarantee you that Golden does not do that.

Texascane

The NCAA rule on contact is that, if the recruit or family member contacts the coaches first...nothing matters...dead period, quiet period, etc., ...the kids can contact the coaches at any time and the coaches are allowed to respond...the schools are not allowed to initiate contact during proscribed periods...

Roger that. Either way it goes we all wish TH the best in football, college and life!

GO CANES!!!

Hassan

Everyone says FSU is out os SHIPS so unless someone decommits or they oversign they are onyl expecting their current commits to sign, no news for them on NSD.

We will have about 33 commits we need to RS 20 of them. We need to have about 20 RS Senior's on this team like the old days. You get a 5 year cycle and not a 3 and 4 year like now with 6 Juniors leaving early lol. Your team is way better depth and talent wise when you have 3rd year players replacing 4th and 5th year guys instead of freshman and soph replacing Jr's.

UpNorthCane

SOo if FSWHO is out of spots then the talk of Goldman going their is all b.s...... its going to be an intense 3 days in the world of college football and most importantly in the world of cane bloggers loll

Ohio_Cane

I'm sure FSWho isn't out of ships, especially of they have a big commit.

Just like UM doesn't only have 1 spot left if Hamilton, Howard, etc all want to sign

Ohio_Cane

Cristobal headed to Rutgers

UpNorthCane

Whered you read or hear that ohio nothing on ESPn as of right now....

Ohio_Cane

All over twitter. Multiple reports.

That just means more annoying battles to keep kids in the state of miami loll...

Rutgers sure loves those ex UM coaches if this is true lol

U better talk to Golden then because that is NOT what he said he could/would do this year.

In the ideal world? Yes.

At UM in 2012? Not so much!

Montreal-Cane

Who is FIU Top recruit??? Can we still make a move or it's too late??? Mario is leaving FIU for Rutgers.

j.w.

Anyone else "enjoying" the torture of the last few days?
Hamilton supposedly loved UM, we have a shot. If Cristobal takes the Rutgers job (and I trust you, Monty:)), I think he stays.

Ohio_Cane

Papa Cane - LB Josh Harvey Clemons: 1. He had a great time. 2. Bonded with Coach Barrow 3. Loves UM's history with NFL. I still say UGA & UF.

Ohio_Cane

Cristobal to Rutgers most likely means we don't get Hamilton. I said 75% earlier, now that's around 35%.

Felipe.

Yup I agree.

Hoping we land another out-of-nowhere Georgia guy like Storm Johnson was when we landed him. (JHC)

And Howard/Young of course!

UMike

Ohio..I agree

Six

Those Bad Boys of Detroit and Bird's Celtics would be a machine in any era, esp. this one

My belief is that during #23's era, the teams were a lot better, tougher, could actually shoot and got away with a hell of a lot less traveling (besides Patrick Ewing taking 10 steps)

Too much of the And1 type crap now in the NBA .. completely has turned me off to it

I'll take college hoops all day long over watching an NBA game

Six

UiF's defense is a hell of a lot better than the Canes defense

That's what Muschamp can sell legitimately

That, and competing in the SEC, which is basically NFL Lite on Saturdays

Great college atmosphere up at The Puddle, stadium actually moves a little and is loud as hell


Ohio_Cane

My opinion: Don't be surprised if Michael Barrow is offered and/or takes the FIU job.

No inside info, just speculation. Can see it happening.

Posted by: SOUP | January 30, 2012 at 12:25 PM


I know I am just hoping that is my goal. maybe in a couple years if sanctions are light. Right now Golden is trying to find guys who will work and can play right away because he knows Shannon's boys are soft and he needs difference makers. So if we bring 33 we will be lucky to RS 10. Kinda sad.

I would say our RS list will look like this

Dewey
Crow
Thompson-if he sticks to FB
Davis- small and not all DB's will play
Hamilton- if he is not healed
Terry- needs to bulk up
Gadbois- needs coaching
Holifield- one 1 year of FB
Jones- only 2 years of FB
Dorch- 168 needs to get stronger

Of these guys 3 are EE's 2 QB's and a OT that needs to work on his technique (tackle is a hard position to adjust to college speed)


www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000117339359

More Importantly Any Word on TRANSFERS who is leaving and not who should be leaving but real grumblings about who is leaving thtz where the extra schollys really come in unless Golden is Giving walking passes and kids dont knw it or dont want it and he forces them out anyway..can he do that?


RCCF

j.w.

RCCF- won't hear anything about transfers until after spring practice. They are all enrolled in classes as far as we know, so they aren't leaving mid-semester. But the reports of mass transfers seem to be erroneous.

Hassan

Zakkee

Good point Six. Imagine if Lebron had to face the Bad Boy Pistons, the showtime Lakers, or the old Celtics teams. He wouldn't show up, literally wouldn't come out the locker room.

herbieibis

L. Williams to decide between Flo. & USC.

Hassan

Crawford says "Miami was always in his heart"

Crawford says he felt like he was going to make the switch shortly after head coach Al Golden visited him at school last week and extended an offer.

"Growing up here in Florida you always heard about Miami," Crawford said. "You know about the swag and attitude that goes with playing for 'The U'."

This is what happens when you have a REAL H.C. who actually has a plan and executes the plan, unlike some coaches who just sit around and wait for the MNW Fairy to drop off a player without looking at film or evaluating.

Ohio_Cane

Jamie Newberg - Hearing from 2 sources that Tracy Howard is now a 2 horse race between #canes #gators and #miami could be team to beat. Gonna b interesting

UMike

Ohio..that is great news

Ohio_Cane

It's from "sources" so don't read too much into it. But yes, great news if true.

I'm still at 50% for TH bringing his talents to South Beach. ;-)

www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000117339359

so can Golden jus kick kids out and take schollys or is there a rule against that?


RCCF

Texascane

Scholarships are renewed each year. The school has the right not to offer any player for the upcoming year.

Most of the time the coach just tells them that they don't fit into the school's plans and the generally transfer to another school...FCS schools if they want to play right away.

Some schools do it right...but some decide to suspend kids or kick them off the team for "violation of team rules" or "academic issues...so the school doesn't take the heat. Oklahoma just did it to three kids and the SEC is notorious for doing it...

SOUP

I got nothing done today. Tomorrow will be worse and Wednesday? Fuhget about it!

UpNorthCane

Felipe.

Sort of glad I have all day exams tomorrow. Won't be driven insane by the second-to-second refresh of Canespace :)

SOUP

Ohio...It ain't ova until its ova but I suggest that U continue to work on that spin move for Wednesday! Me, I'm just gonna skip down the street for a while.

;-)

Felipe.

Must be good news. He even tipped Strauzer. Reading between the lines im stoked!

Ohio_Cane

That spin move is PERFECTED AND READY!!

I swear, ppl will think I'm having a seizure lol

Yep. Bet he changes it back. LOL

UpNorthCane

ooo Man i can imagine what the news is if SOUP is saying he is going to be skipping down the street for a while loll.....

Tell you what give me

Howard
Hamilton
Clemons

and i will streak from Rhode ISland to COral Gables with A ig ol U on my back painted.

Felipe.

Hah, Triple H commits to Miami. No, not that one:

Howard,
Harvey-Clemons
Hamilton


That'd be some story.

j.w.

I take it good things might come to those who persevere like our Coach Golden? :)

UpNorthCane

But at the end of the day as long as we finish strong and leave some gaytors and criminoles crying come nsd im ecstatic....

SOUP

U boyz gotta go easy! No specifics of the POSSIBLE who or the when or the where or the what. Back it down and BREATHE...

Felipe.

USC is working hard for Agholor and Leonard Williams. Going to laugh if UF totally goes empty-handed.

Ohio_Cane

SOUP, my question was merely hypothetical and curiosity how far UpNorth would go, that's all.

I can see why U'd delete it tho. It's all good.

Felipe.

I know nothing, so there's the disclaimer to any parent/rival school watching this. All my speculation is absolute bs. 100%.

Felipe.

...Although I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

Ohio_Cane

LOL Felipe!!

UpNorthCane

loll Were just having some fun here Soup...And LMAO at Felipe nice Holiday inn comment

SOUP

Ohio...no harm, no foul. The more U know the less you can say is all. U didn't say anything you should not have it's just best if you go back to working on your spin move and leave the rest alone until Wednesday. NSD will be here soon enough!

Trust me, I know it is HARD to do but it is REQUIRED.

TheWhat

Damn it NSD cant come soon enough. I just want it over with. lol

SOUP

UPNorth...I know you may want to on NSD but U should be very careful about streaking naked in Winter in RI. Could be some serious shrinkage involved. LOL

Ohio_Cane

Damn it NSD cant come soon enough. I just want it over with. lol

LMAO Soup i hear you man but believe it or not were still hitting the high 50's or low 60's at times hre its crazy winter has yet to hit.

SOUP

UPNorth...well then if that's the case just tune into Canespace on NSD and get your streak ON my brutha! LMAO

Ohio_Cane

Ya, it's 33 today here in Ohio, supposed to be 59 tomorrow. Weird, weird winter.

UpNorthCane

Lol you will see me acting a fool like Will Ferrel in the movie Old School, with some good news....

SOUP

OK, I really gotta get off of the blog and get the new one ready for 5 PM posting. See U then...

j.w.

Cristobal staying at FIU??? Wow!

Ohio_Cane

Pete Roussel - Sources tell me that Cristobal has informed his team that he will remain at FIU.

Annnnd our chances for Darius Hamilton just got a lot better!

Hassan

Mario is said to have turned down Rutgers

UpNorthCane

Way to go Mario!!!!

UMike

I RT Gators & FSU stuff...I'm just seeing more Miami stuff RT @Carpe_DiemUF81: @DK_Thompson Confidence level for NSD? I think #TracyHowardJr is a Cane, based on his mom @shaiyhoward RTing everything that's Miami ...from Howards mom in response

UMike

Mike Quinoy - Agreed RT @RecruitingBuzz There is smoke about Tracy Howard and Miami at the moment. Fresh off an official. Still think Florida.

TheWhat

Poor kid. If I were Nick Saban I would take that scholarship offer away. That kids mom is gonna bring nothing but trouble to Bama (hopefully)

I thought that as well, Ohio, but I read somewhere (SI I think) that it's not a violation to offer a job to a recruit's friend, family, etc. in football. Why it's ok in football but not basketball is beyond me.
