A few from Papa Cane:

4 star DE Darius Hamilton will be visiting UM on Jan 27th. He is an imposing prospect

Expect 3 star S Lucas Thompson to choose ECU at this week's UA game. UM is not recruiting him

Dewey and Duke both impressing at the Under Armor All American practices

4 star LB Ukime Eligwe either just decommited from FSU or someone stole his phone/account

Good stuff!

Very Nice. Post here, post often!

Good write up - the Under Armour game rocks

Willie Will in Nashville

When two teams that you hate play each other who do you root for??????????

Da U N Houston

WW I have been dealing with that all weekend (FSU vs ND) and now this (FU vs Suckeyes). I think Floridah will win, but would rather see OSU win.

SOUP

Nashville...Good question. The underdog? The one U bet on? The one your team didn't play and lose to?

SOUP

Dewey and Duke both impressing at the Under Armor All American practices

Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 02, 2012 at 11:56 AM

I'll be at the UAAA game practices on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Ohio_Cane

Recruiting update per Papa Cane 2013 elite CB Vernon Hargreaves has been offered by UM. Will visit and attend Al Golden Camp

Brevardcane

Is that one of the guys Six said UM should offer? ^^

Sinistercane

Anymore transfers?

Jack

Happy New Year Canespacers!!

4-Real

What do u guys think about Jeff Godfrey of Ucf wanting 2 transfer 2 the U? Would be nice if he wouldn't have 2 sit out, then he could come in & compete 4 the starting qb spot since he does have more experience & wins than Morris & Williams combined.Godfrey also said he would be willing 2 change positions if he had 2.

2002nemo

4 Real?

Ohio_Cane

Papa Cane - 4 star RB Wes Brown will visit UM the weekend of Jan 20th. UM has a great shot at landing him

Ohio_Cane

Papa Cane - 5 star OL Avery Young will visit UM the weekend of Jan 20th. All UM coaches on him.

4-Real

Great stuff Ohio. Goldman, Leonard Williams, Bush, Mccord & Darius Hamilton would take this class & the Canes 2 new heights. Keep our fingers crossed.

Ohio_Cane

From what I'm hearing, U can forget about Goldman

YES

UpNorthCane

Sooo ohio goldman claims the U is is his dream school and now we can forge about him? That sux big time we need a dt thatll cause havoc and get in that backfield......

But at least things are picking up with leonard williams, hamilton, and young.....

Whatever happened with jacob ford out of juco in arizona?

-----------------------------------------------------

Just what I've heard, nothing is for sure till signing day, but I'm hearing Bama "won" him over. That's as much as I'll say. If rumors are true, we don't want his type, tbh

UpNorthCane

I cnt believe that their hasnt been an individual who hasnt been able to capture hard evidence or video evidence of SEC teams "winning" over kids maybe this is my calling as a private investigator lolll....

Ohio_Cane

Papa Cane - Rivals predicts that Deon Bush and Tyriq McCord will pick Miami during the Army All-American Game. http://ow.ly/8gxYk

Papa Cane - McCord & Bush: I'm going to be Negative Nancy today and say that Bush goes to Auburn and McCord to South Carolina. No inside info. Guess.

Ohio_Cane

Excellent Article: Palm Beach Post's Jorge Milian on the 2001 Miami Hurricanes. http://ow.ly/8gEor

CGNC

Good bowl games yesterday - Stanford and Okie State and Wisconsin and Oregon. the Ducks players don't look big - but they play hard and fast. So glad the "jump around" team lost - LOL. I wish we would get back to playing good football like that again

SOUP

CGNC...yes, it would be great for UM to play exciting, agressive, attacking football again like any of the four teams you mentioned.

Gotta have a GREAT QB to do that.

None of the four teams can play defense though. LOL

Ohio_Cane

Watching 2001 nat'l championship vs Nebraska. They put an interesting stat up. Canes had 49 offensive TD's. Average drive time - 2:09. WOW!

I miss that team...

Ohio_Cane

^^ Also, I think Kellen Winslow made EVERY special teams tackle.

j.w.

Happy New Year, everyone! Traveling is done for a while, back to focusing on work and all things Canes.

Ohio_Cane

All Jon Bastian, who is at the UAAA practice today:

UM QB Commit Preston Dewey talks about Jedd Fisch, enrolling early and more on CaneInsider.com bit.ly/uDCAvZ

Avery Young is a specimen.

Eddie Goldman is ready for college (6'4, 307)

UM commit QB Preston Dewey hasn't been taking many snap at the UA practice today.

Duke Johnson with a nice catch in traffic. You come to expect him to ball out every time he plays.

Ohio_Cane

Jamie Newberg - Chad Kelly hits Duke Johnson who's wide open in a throwback for score

Ohio_Cane

Jon Bastian - Amari Cooper looks like the best route runner here constantly getting separation except when he goes against Ronald Darby.

Sidenote of mine: He's committed to Bama, but UM is still recruiting Cooper EXTREMELY hard. Possible flip. Not very likely, but possible.

CGNC

None of the four teams can play defense though. LOL

Posted by: SOUP | January 03, 2012 at 10:43 AM

True, but made the games fun to watch. I enjoyed those games more than the Bama - LSU defensive struggle (maybe because I enjoy watching games with teams non-SEC) LOL!

ftmcane

absolutely hate that we aren't going to land Cooper. crying shame that we're letting bama pick our pocket. Without sanctions looming i don't think this happens however.

CGNC

j.w. nice to see you back. I will be gone tomorrow for about 5 days - heading south to Palm Beach to see what I can see ;-D

j.w.

Sounds fun, CGNC! I'll be back in the arena on Wednesday, I'm dying to get back out, should be fairly warm as well.

UpNorthCane

Keith Brown officially decommits from Illinois.... So it seems it is either UM or Lousiville for this young man

If im coach Golden im taking him and then im running his A** to the ground come training camp.

SOUP


None of the four teams can play defense though. LOL

TOTALLY AGREE 100%.

Dadesfynest83

Happy new year boys...

Hey doesn't Garmon announce today too? And just an opinion...the UA game has gotten as big or bigger than the Army game...

Ohio_Cane

Expect LB James Burgess to commit to Louisville today during the Semper Fi Fidelis AA Bowl. Heard UM moved on weeks ago.

UpNorthCane

We let Burgess go and we gain Brown? im definatley alright with that.... Ohio what do you think happens?

Ohio_Cane

We let Burgess go and we gain Brown? im definatley alright with that.... Ohio what do you think happens?

Posted by: UpNorthCane | January 03, 2012 at 02:17 PM
-----------------------------------------

Personally, I think we get neither. Just my opinion tho, no inside info. Wouldn't be surprised to see Brown and Burgess both at Louisville.

UpNorthCane

I hear you people have been saying that, but idk i got a feeling Brown turned the corner and got back on with the coaches at UM. Theres no problem with being prideful and wanting players who are loyal but we also can't let go of ballers like Brown who are body ready to step in....

Dadesfynest83

I just don't get how a son of a former UM great chooses against coming here.

Ohio_Cane

Papa Cane - Annoucements Tonite: Semper Fidelis AA Bowl 6 p.m. CBS Sports Network. V. Ascolese, R. Brodie, J. Burgess, G. Garmon, T. Powell, D. Thompson

Update on RB Greg Garmon: Based on what several sources are saying, I believe that he is going to pick Iowa tonight. Hope that I am wrong.

Ohio_Cane

UpNorth and Dades - Don't get me wrong, I wish both would come to UM. Would take either or both of them, tbh. Just don't think it happens. I've been wrong before and will be again, I'm sure.

UpNorthCane

ohio if you get a chance ask papa cane what his thoughts are on Brown unless you already know his answer on it....

My thing is are we gonna land or strike out on leonard Williams, Goldman, Deon Bush, Tracy howard, Avery young.

This recruiting stuff is intense man and all i can say is damnnn the $EC

UpNorthCane

I also forget we have Darius Hamilton visiting and Wes Brown is the stars align and Golden can close out strong we will be ridiculous in 1 to 2 years.

Dadesfynest83

CAN WE SCHEDULE LOUISVILLE ALREADY???!!! I'd love to play em with all the 305 talent they got up there...

Posted by: Dadesfynest83 | January 03, 2012 at 02:24 PM

I don't think it was ALL his decision. It seems that Miami stopped recruiting him or encouraged him to go to UL.

SOUP

UPNorth...we could get Bush I think? ;-)

Dadesfynest83

Robert Turbin is good...I mean REALLY good. I saw on nationally televised game of Utah State this year and he ran like a man possessed. Had no choice but to keep tabs on him since then and lemme tell u, if he doesn't go 1st round, whoever gets him would be a steal. Big, FREAKY strength, and deceptively quick. Guy is a complete back. He's a Cali kid, not sure how he didn't end up a Trojan or somethin else...remember the name...ROBERT TURBIN...

Ohio_Cane

Re: Brown, just asked Papa.


Re: the rest U talked about, here's my opinion on all.

Leonard Williams - No
Eddie Goldman - No
Deon Bush - Yes
Tracy Howard - No
Avery Young - Possible, but no
Darius Hamilton - Yes
Wes Brown - No

UpNorthCane

lol Well hey SOUP if we get at least one of those guys im happy I guess loll..... I just really would like if Eddie Goldman committed that guy in my opinionis a game changer from the Dline

UpNorthCane

Well the fact that your saying yes to Darius Hamilton is promising he would be an incredible get for the dline him and chikillo and the rest of thsoe guys will prove to be players.

what makes you think Darius Hamilton is a yes? just want to hear what you got to say.

By the way OHIO your killing it on the blog bro working ot man appreciate it.

Dadesfynest83

I don't think it was ALL his decision. It seems that Miami stopped recruiting him or encouraged him to go to UL.


Posted by: SOUP | January 03, 2012 at 02:32 PM

Soup...happy new year man, but u know what...as I like to say "nuff sed". Cuz if we steered him away or backed off for w/e reason, then that means we HAD A REASON TO and I trust our coaching staff. Either we saw something we didn't like or had plans w/ a another LB recruit, hell or maybe we stand one of these ends up next year. But if it was on us...I'm fine with it.

Dadesfynest83

By the way OHIO your killing it on the blog bro working ot man appreciate it.

Posted by: UpNorthCane | January 03, 2012 at 02:42 PM


I second that notion...

Ohio_Cane

Posted by: UpNorthCane | January 03, 2012 at 02:42 PM
-----------------------------------------

Those are all strictly my opinion, and have no inside info. For Hamilton, I just have a feeling. Really no rhyme or reason to that one.

Asked Papa his opinion on Hamilton as well.

Ohio_Cane

By the way OHIO your killing it on the blog bro working ot man appreciate it.

Posted by: UpNorthCane | January 03, 2012 at 02:42 PM

It's my pleasure. LOVE recruiting!

Ohio_Cane

For Hamilton, I just have a feeling. Really no rhyme or reason to that one.

Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 03, 2012 at 02:48 PM
---------------------------------------

Just to add to this, he will take his last official visit to UM on Jan 27th. A lot of times, that's all it takes. Fresh in the memory.

UpNorthCane

I agree man the kid is def an imposing athlete, and your right last officials are big when it comes to making a player committ or not. I wonder what Al Golden has in store for those two weekends he better come up with something out of this world.

Another intriguing thing is who in the world are the silent committs? HMMMMM

Ohio_Cane

UpNorth, Papa says Keith Brown to Louisville. He's not 100% sure, however.

He did say Howard is NOT a Cane.

SOUP

Either we saw something we didn't like or had plans w/ another LB recruit.

Posted by: Dadesfynest83 | January 03, 2012 at 02:47 PM

Or maybe BOTH? I do not now the details but SOMETHING changed I can tell U that.

UpNorthCane

ohio Cane my brother in law just got me a real nice Miami Hurricanes welcome mat for my man cave

herbieibis

Bush is minor maybe.
Howard: NO-Way FSu or Gators
Goldman: Waited WAY to late (ALA)
Williams: NO-Way
McCord: Minor maybe
Young: Gators
Hamilton: just like the last several years when we get these big timers to come the weekend before signing day, it's just to get away from the cold.
Brown: Maybe
None of the above do I feel good about. Except for a couple of those guys we just didn't go after them to hard in the beginning. Remember Al said he didn't like Cadillacs so it's VWs for us, for the most part.
As far as Burgess goes, we don't need anymore 6'0 200 lbs LBS. Let Louisville have our cast offs.

Ohio_Cane

Goldman: Waited WAY to late (ALA)

Posted by: herbieibis | January 03, 2012 at 03:13 PM
----------------------------------------

NOT the reason we won't get Goldman. Trust me.

UpNorthCane

Thats right Ohio with goldman its all about that cake $$$$

UpNorthCane

has anybody heard about Jacob Ford the juco kid? he looked like a baller i really liked his film big and tall and fast and not afraid to make the tough catch in traffic.

Dadesfynest83

I wanna know who this stud DB is that was reported to be a silent like a month ago. If it wasn't Howard, and we know it's not Legget, who else is a stud DB???

BUSH ???

Ohio_Cane

BUSH ???

Posted by: Dadesfynest83 | January 03, 2012 at 03:28 PM
------------------------------------------

Maybe? ;-)

UpNorthCane

I forgot about leggett....damn shame what happened with taht kid whether its his own fault for all the transferring or not it wouldve beeen nice to have him in coral gabels come next year because i am tired of mcgee chambers and the other bums who are scared to hit

Ohio_Cane

i am tired of mcgee chambers and the other bums who are scared to hit

Posted by: UpNorthCane | January 03, 2012 at 03:29 PM
------------------------------------------

Help is on the way. ;-)

UpNorthCane

they better be looking and playing like ed reed and antrel rolle loll

Dadesfynest83

UP NORTH...u forgot Casey...OMG I get really p/o'd when I think about how he let up on that TYD throw in Tally...woosaa !!!

But on Legget, man if I'm not mistaken, he can come here if he really wanted. Just has to go

Da U N Houston

The one thing that caught my attention from last night's bowl game was how agressive the DB's were....one can only hope....Brandon Harris was the only aggressive DB we've had in years (Shields was but just learning the position)........

Dadesfynest83

OOPS...

...JUCO for a year

UpNorthCane

I agree dadesfynest Kasey really punched out early on that play what a damn shame.... How can he be the son of a nfl football coach? cmon man if that was my son hed be getting some tough loving thats for sure....

i hope Leggett does go that prep school or juco route 1 year and then heads to UM unless he is all signed up at Marshall..

canezilla

WHAT'S UP GUYS!!!! JUST WANTED TO SLIDE THROUGH AND SAY WHAT'S UP. BABY COMING NEXT THURSDAY BE EAZY

Ohio_Cane

Zilla! Good luck man, and congrats on the new addition to the CanesFam!

UpNorthCane

Thats Right Zilla congrats and good luck man. wish you and your fam nothin but the best.

SOUP

Zilla..advanced congrats on the baby's new arrival next week. U sure that ain't twins? LOL

SOUP

Do NOT expect Leggett at UM this year or next.

j.w.

We're due for some good news with these recruits who are still unecided. Don't know who, don't know when, but I'm betting Golden gets 2 to commit at these all-star games.
And as everyone else already said- great work Ohio, soup, and everyone else who is keeping the rest of us informed with recruiting.

Dadesfynest83

congrats to ya...CaneZ !!!

Canes 2032 commit on the way...

Dadesfynest83

actually 2030...LoL...

SOUP

WURD ON DA SKREETZ IZ...

1. Yoooo, all anyone wants to hit up is the recruiting lol. So ill guess your site is getting blasted about it lol. Peeps need to realize at this point recruiting is just a game ballahs use for trips. 99.9% already got that mind made up. Cant be down on any boi that takes visits. Its always on point to go somewhere to visit that isnt about game mode flow.

2. This staff is going after certain type of playahs, there will be no exceptions made for any boi. Some fans as well as this f n Miami media and some sites are on this grade flow with ballahs. All ill say about that is consider the source cause all aint what it seems on that. It aint always grades.

3. Once peeps get used to OL Flowers they will fall in love with boi. Great kid with a Miami attitude. That fool dont mess around. As Figs said when he came to the gym, that boi is f n country strong. Not sure what the f that means lol I just know boi is the baddest OL ive seen come in, in a very long time.

Ohio_Cane

but I'm betting Golden gets 2 to commit at these all-star games.

Posted by: j.w. | January 03, 2012 at 03:58 PM
------------------------------------

I'm guessing 3-5.

UpNorthCane

ill go out on a limb and predict 5 and we start 2012 with a bang and we will have everyone talking about us

UpNorthCane

OO and Greg Olsens lil brother will be the next committ for 2013

Ohio_Cane

that boi is f n country strong. Not sure what the f that means lol I just know boi is the baddest OL ive seen come in, in a very long time.

Posted by: SOUP | January 03, 2012 at 04:07 PM
-----------------------------------------

Bye bye Brandon Washington, hello Ereck Flowers.

Love me some country strong boys!

Skreetz, being from the country (Ohio) I'll say this. Country strong is a deceptive strength. Looks cannot account for anywhere near the amount of weight (or hay bails lol) a person can lift.
