Camping Out

Summer is here and It is time to get back to nature and enjoy camping out in the great outdoors. And nothing is better than camping out in Florida.

The fresh air, the sunshine, the crystal clear springs, the scenic rivers, the wildlife, the friendships made around a campfire, the soft moonlight through the pines, gazing at a majestic, star-filled sky free from the city lights.

The only problem is that you will find none of that on Greentree Field behind the Hecht Athletic Center in Coral Gables. At Al Golden's football camps held at the University of Miami all you really get is a bunch of athletic, hot, sweaty young men either intentionally running away from or deliberately running into each other a hundred times over. 

So unless you are an ambitious high school football player hoping to get a scholarship offer from "The U" we recommend that you simply stay inside the comfort of your air conditioned home in sunny, hot and steamy South Florida.

But what it really comes down to is that is exactly what the camps are intended to do: Determining which high school football players players are deserving of playing for Miami , are likely to get a scholarship offer and will wind up wearing The U on their helmet in college.

Last year around 70% of the players signed by UM camped in Coral Gables.  This year one very special UM football camp partcipant this year is Ventura, California QB Ricky Town. 

You see it just so happens that Ricky's dad  happens to be good friends with a long time Canespacer (who shall go nameless). So we thought we would give him some face time here on Canespace since he is attending the Al Golden Football Camp this weekend.  

Ricky Town is only entering his first season on the varsity squad at Saint Bonaventure High School however this class of 2015 prospect is already getting lots of attention on the recruiting front. 

Teams like Miami, Alabama, Stanford, Boston College and many others are attracted to both his excellent athletic skills and his sterling 4.0 GPA.

Obviously a very smart and talented player, there is a lot to like about Ricky Town. Here are some video highlights of Ricky Town at practice:

Town is a still developing 6'-4" 190 pound quarterback who can fling it with the best of them.  He works a lot out of the shotgun formation with his current high school team and due to his height he has excellent field vision. 

He stands tall in the pocket, delivers a very catchable ball and has solid arm strength. He is spending the Summer working on his strength and speed to become a more complete player.

However, Ricky's best quality may be his understanding of the offensive system, scheme and reads.  According to our sources he is a student of the game, an avid film watcher and would absolutely smoke ESPN's Jon Gruden in one of his now famous 1 on 1 film Q & A sessions.

Town has spent time working with QB coach Anton Clarkson (seen above) who is the son of Steve Clarkson who runs the Super Seven QB Academy held each year.

Clarkson has worked with many other well known and successful college QBs such as Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen and USC's Matt Barkley. Ricky (seen below with his father) is now reportedly one of Clarkson's proteges and one of the top rated QBs in California.

Ricky Town is in town camping out today at the Al Golden football camp in Coral Gables. We would like to wish him the very best of luck at whatever his bright future holds! 

NOTE: We will have reports from our source inside the Al Golden Football camp later today, but for now we can tell you that Ricky Town was selected camp QB MVP today!

[CEO]

I know 2015 seems a long way off but here is what U need to know:

1. QB Ricky Town was Camp QB MVP today. He is only a 10th grader and is 6-4 and 190 and blew away the competition.

2. After the first set of drills he was moved into a designated group of the top QBs and later on worked 1:1 with Jedd Fisch.

3. He later met with Al Golden and Fisch for about 30 minutes and took a "special" tour of the campus and facilities.

4. He is going back on Tuesday for more meetings with UM coaches and more tours of campus.

5. No official word on an offer yet but it appears likely at some point.

[roachcane77]

AG CONTINUES to impress!

[CEO]

WURD ON DA SKREETZ IZ:

1. Nah, this boi dont get to see s much of QBs in camps. Staff and coaches alwayz pullin boiz off to the side workin on mechanics. Miami fans gotz to give it up to Al and his O staff. They aint puttin on no show for all them other coaches lol. Just goin off how he runs these camps this boi would say Al has 2 QB targets every year with 1 of them bein athletic enough to ball at other positions.

2. 1 position Al and staff aint lettin peeps mess with is QB, thems his babies lol. Sh$# when pimp had Crow here he had boi at FB, LB, TE with little work at QB. Most of his QB action was off to the side with staff.

3. A non QB that has to at least a 10* lol is that ballah Jamal Carter. Boi can safety, CB, WR or even LB with a few more lbs. Coach D gets all hyped bout that boi

[CEO]

SKREETZ WALKIN...

1. Nobody really jumped off the board for this 2013 class. They do listen and bust their azzez on every drill. Al did seem to be lovin what he saw out of a boi named Jeremy Kerr. He was praisin the f outta boi at TE and DE. I didnt get to eye him but he did get major dap by the peoples that helped out.

2. I was stunned at how many of these ballahs are already followin CampSwaz and diet plan. Them young azz ballahs were tellin this boi things I didnt even know what was part of the plan.

4. I did get to see a mountain of a ballah in Derrick Calloway. They makin young rooks big as f these dayz lol

5. This boi aint ever yapped bout ballahs from next seasons class so I guess im steppin out for this lol. Ive seen that boi Dalvin Cook (2014) ballout quite a few times, that ballah is f n amazin. That boi is a gamebreaker, anklebreaker and TD maker. He WILL be a star at the next level. Thats a badboi.

6. For this class im still on that Fennell boi. Hes amazin for that size. Not much that boi cant do.

7. Of course we all know the best WR in the state is Jordan (Cunningham) lol, I aint movin off that. Fastest azz boi I seen is Brisly Estime, a real bolt. It would not push me back to see him in this class. Could he be the next RaShawn or D'Mauri I show big dap for?

[Ohio_Cane]

Stony Brook up 6-1 on LSU in top 4th. Winner advances to CWS.

This team has been very impressive

[CEO]

FROM THE TOWN FAMILY:

Tom thank you for your kind words. Ricky had an awesome time and the U has an amazing coaching staff.

The only thing is Ricky is an under center, Pro-Style QB that works mainly under center with his high school team team, not out off shot gun. This is one if the main reasons Miami's coaches took notice of him.

Thanks again,

Rick Town

[nemo2002]

It looks like UF is going to the CWS and FSU and STONY too!

Great story about one of our best ever divers:

California QB's have a great history at UM. (Insert cheap pop here)

Good grief, Golden's going global in recruiting in year 2. I understand how he's so organized (the plan). He must have spent most of his life organizing such. If he's tearing it up with 2015, Golden is going to be here a LONG TIME.

This program is in good hands with Godfather Golden at the helm.

[myndraize]

Of course we all know the best WR in the state is Jordan (Cunningham)

I believe Stacy Coley will have something to say about dat.

Does anyone know if/or how much AG and staff is recruiting Derrick Calloway?Would not want to see him go to usc,even tho he's from cali.

[CEO]

In Miami’s long history of winning on the field and in recruiting, there has been no bigger victory than what Golden and his staff pulled off this recruiting season. Bigger than the five national titles, bigger than those Heisman Trophies, bigger than all of those All-Americans.

Not only did the Canes reel in a program-defining class of 32 players (seven count toward last year’s class), they kept rivals Florida and Florida State out of talent-rich Broward and Dade counties. The Gators signed two players from Broward and Dade; the Seminoles signed none.

No player in that critical pipeline—the area former Canes coach Howard Schnellenberger once dubbed “the state of Miami”—was more important than Tracy Howard. The nation’s No. 1 cornerback recruit was down to UM, UF and FSU, and sat in front of a national television audience Wednesday morning to announce his decision.

Think about that: the elite of the elite, a player all of the Big Three desperately wanted, proudly proclaimed he was signing with Miami. Warts and all.

If that weren’t enough, his teammate Malcolm Lewis—the No. 1 wideout in the state of Florida also choosing between the Big Three—chose Miami, too

[CEO]

According to Scout Calloway has an offer from Miami:

http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=5740611

[CEO]

Notes: Stony Brook is the second No. 4 seed to advance to the College World Series since NCAA went to Regional format in 1999...that team was Fresno State in 2008, and the Bulldogs went on to win the College World Series...Stony Brook is the first Northeast Region school to advance to College World Series since the NCAA went away from geographic regionals in 1987...the attendance of 10,620 was the largest in history of LSU baseball...Willie Carmona is 18-for-34 (.529) in the NCAA Tournament with 12 RBI.

[CEO]

Matt Senk enters his 22nd season as the Stony Brook University head baseball coach, having entrenched the Seawolves as one of the top programs in not only the America East but also the Northeast Region.

Last season, Senk guided the Seawolves to a school record 42 wins and its first America East regular season title. Senk was rewarded for the Seawolves success as he was named America East Coach of the Year.

The Seawolves were ranked as high as 30th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll and were third in the country in winning percentage. Stony Brook finished the season with the top fielding percentage in the country (.985) and ranked second in the nation with 146 doubles.

Senk's players were also rewarded for the Seawolves record-breaking season, as 11 players were named All-Conference including eight to the first team. Willie Carmona became the first player in program history to be named a first team All-American in addition to being selected the America East Player of the Year.

[LB]

Even though Sporting News reports that "Signing with Miami meant signing with a university that hid from its own head coach the depth and breadth of the NCAA investigations."

There's this:

“Nothing,” Golden says, “is preventing us from moving forward.”

It feels like that old "Miami vs. the world" mentality. I love it.

LAST NIGHT AT 8:24 PM ON CANESPACE:

SKREETZ WALKIN...

1. Nobody really jumped off the board for this 2013 class. They do listen and bust their azzez on every drill. Al did seem to be lovin what he saw out of a boi named Jeremy Kerr. He was praisin the f outta boi at TE and DE. I didnt get to eye him but he did get major dap by the peoples that helped out.

[j.w.]

Sounds like a great pick up, Six, he's from your area, any insight for us?

[hassan]

Great updates by skreetz

How was the 96 from mnw I heard he balled. And a 11 yr old won mvp

[CEO]

WURD ON DA SKREETZ...

1. If this boi remembers right it was the pimp from Ohio that was on the TH3 wagon. This is just in shorts so cant go crazy, TH3 is livin up to the hype. And yo, that boi can actually catch the f n ball. The 1 thing I do see him battle is jumpin a route to quick and gets hit with the pump and go. Summer will tell alot of ballah cause Al demands CBs to be solid tacklers. Whole different world from 7-7 to geared up layin fools out.

2. That boi Pierre is puttin in some serious grind from weights, runnin and film work. Boi could very well push to start on DL. His quickess has even improved.

[CEO]

MO FROM DA SKREETZ:

1. This boi knows Miami fans love them ballahs so im goin to help balance sh$# out lol. DJ8 really, really needs to carry out the play better when hes not the main target. Boi lookin to get lit up doin that sh$#.

2. McGee coverage has been great but da&@ that boi dropin to many ints. If this boi didnt have a shaved dome I would say it makes me wanna pull my f n hair out lol.

3. By game 2 teams will have to double The Plug, question remains can he keep them occupied to free up stunts and LBs?

4. Ryan has improved accuracy but he needs help with throwin the deep middle ball to f n high. MoMo still throwin 100mph, damn fool needs to understand what putin touch on a pass means.

5. Someone, I mean someone has to f n bring game to WR spot. Babyface, Rashawn and to some degree Hurns are ballin but these rooks HAVE to get better. If not expect Dallas to go wide or Al/Fisch will switch some other ballah there.

[j.w.]

Sobering thoughts from Skreetz, but appreciate it, too much enthusiasm always bites us in the arse by October 15 or so.

1.TE Jeremy Kerr 6'5 240 don't know his skills at te,could grow into a lt/rt

2.Brandon McGee really needs to step up and ball this year,if not i aspect a quick hook by mid-season

3.Allen Hurns moreso than R.Scott needs to show he can be the #1 wr,i just feel P.Dorsett will be the most reliable

4."IF THE PLUG" lives up to his name with D.P and A.C. the defense should be one of the nations best

5.CEO:if you have the 411 please let us know,but i don't believe J.Kennel is intrested in the U

[LB]

I guess we're done with tight end for 2013?

[herbieibis]

I'd say we're done with TE's. It's about time we scooped a pair in one recruiting class. Now it's time to focus on the defense, especially the line. I'm still not sold on our de-line yet. I know there is the word potential but it's consistency I'm looking for. We need some sacking machines up front, and if not those opposing QB's will George Foreman our secondary.

[CaneRock]

Good thing for these College camps, because I don't know how the hell a kid like Kerr, could showcase His skills at SPHS with that Split-T/Option type offense that they run. Imagine how many kids are under-evaluated, or even evaluated at all, that play in those types of offenses in HS. Reminds me of Santana's recruitment to Miami, for those that don't know, Santana played in the Wishbone offense at Miami. If RS didn't ask Coach Frazier about any other prospects, then Santana's on His way to EASTERN KENTUCKY! That "if you're good, they'll find you" mantra was bogus in these case, sometimes you gotta "grab that bull by it's horn" and do your own thing.

### UM baseball coach Jim Morris (under contract through 2015) and his staff – which is out recruiting - are under the impression they are returning next season, but athletic director Shawn Eichorst refuses to say anything about Morris’ status.

### A high-level UM official said the school hasn’t been given an updated timetable by the NCAA but will not be surprised if it doesn’t receive its punishment until after National Signing Day in February. The UM official was disgusted by minor violations found in the basketball program, such as providing transportation (including flights) to players’ family members: “That should never happen.”

Missouri and ex-UM coach Frank Haith has said privately he had no idea his assistant coaches were providing those benefits and has told the NCAA that UM never paid basketball players.

Wait a minute, I've been repeatedly told that Da Skreetz isn't anything more than a character used by the CEO to remix newspaper blog info to generate hits, so how can he have the inside info of this new commit when the prospect didn't receive an offer until yesterday after showing out in camp?

Of course I was also told that no paper staff would ever come here to answer blog questions because of Da Skreetz subterfuge being perpetrated by the dastardly CEO and SMD was here a few weeks ago blowing that line of proof right out of the water also. Maybe I should just go back to laughing my @$$ off at Da Skreetz deniers and go throw down a cool refreshing iced soda beverage of my choice from a local convenience store instead? Yeah, that's the ticket.

j.w. - All that offense does is run at St.Pete

In the almost six years I've been at my station and covered them, they've primarily always run it. Run it. Run it some more.

The kid is just another big body on the OL

On another note, everyone is after Calloway from Bradenton Manatee - as well as a bunch of other players on that squad

I told you what Thor Miller (OL) said when we did a piece on them a few weeks ago - he mentioned that there are 5 of them (OL) .. and only 4 of them (DL) ... but he wishes they had 6 OL to try and block the 4 DL

Back-to-back State Champs, that is almost a sure fire guarantee

Their returning starters on the DL and offense (QB, RB) will go get the ring again this year

How nice of the refs to give that final leg up to one of the all time never-was franchises in the NHL that they so obviously required when the going got tough for them for the first time in the playoffs. Boarding is boarding, as a former UM coach would say, no matter what color sweater you're wearing in LA and then to not only let one go by the Kings right before you call another similar instance by the visitors of the same infraction while choosing to add a major penalty on top of it to swing a final series elimination game is the ultimate disgrace. Devils weren't going to win this thing missing empty nets and hitting posts like they did to open it but no way the previously dormant LA power-play gets five uninterrupted minutes to work out the kinks north of the border because there would have been a riot over that call and don't even get me started on the linesman obstructing Volchenkov by setting a pick right into him on the Carter goal, guy deserves the concussion I hope he got in addition to the busted lip for that garbage piece of work from him and his entire crew tonight. Now I can kind of see what the Coyotes were so pissed about after their conference finals.

Dusting off a classic...

Ryan Williams!

[LB]

Checking the official site, it looks like we'll need a punter in the 2013 class (assuming walk-on's don't work out).

Now that tight end is complete, I assume safety is a pretty huge need (Telemaque, Armstrong, and Swasey all graduating). Another linebacker (Buchanan), tailback (James) and defensive lineman (D. Smith) wouldn't hurt.

With 8 commits (AJL being one), who's next?

Papa Cane states that we've got a new kicker (Ricky Perez) via preferred walk-on who will join the Canes in August. Strong leg with "multiple scholarship offers."

That'll help, especially with the graduation of Wieclaw.

[LB]

I'm not sure if this interests anyone, but I like to pick up the preseason college football magazine and scan for national stories. The average ranking for UM is around 49 (Athlon 49, Steele 48).

I did find something really curious on Sporting News. They ranked the top 100 coaches. Al Golden made #33. It's not much to brag about until you compare others.

#33- Kirk Ferentz, Iowa
#36- Gene Chizik, Blue & Orange Kitty Cats
#37- Bo Pelini, When Getting Crushed in 2001 is a Good Memory
#38- Jimbo Fisher, Those People

Even in silly magazines, Golden's getting some respect.

[CGNC]

OGV - stinks to have your team lose in The Finals. I did not see the long power play, I tuned in after that - some time in the 2nd and it was 3-0 Kings. Watched long enough to see Scuderi hold up the cup.

[pre83]

OGV - Although I believed the Kings would win the series, it really is a crying shame the way the series ended last night.

As an officiating crew, it is just as important for them to be on top of their game as the players and coaches if the game has a chance of being worthy of a Stanley Cup Final.

While Bernier's hit was a penalty, it is inexplicable that the Kings were not called for the same penalty - I am not sure of the game they were watching.

All that being said, even during the major penalty, the Devils did not seem to have their legs nor their heads. I know it was early in the game, but what had been a stellar PK for the Devils simply was not in synch last night. I was calling for DeBoer to call a time out since it was imperative the game did not get out of hand virtually out of the gate, on the road, and during an emotional situation in the game.

Lastly, 17 shots isn't going to get it done either. A tip of the hat to the Kings for continuing to bring the pressure even after mounting a substantial lead.

Being a Patriots fan I feel your pain. Although not real long shots, much like the Patriots, the Devils were not expected to have made it to the Finals. On the other side, much like the Giants, the Kings barely make it to the post season and then once there, are very impressive and they ride it all the way to the top.

The Devils and Pats came close and as a fan it was a great ride, however, it simply sucks to lose when the opportunities were there but were not capitalized on when it counted most.

Is it football season yet??

Fastest way to end the trial and not waste time in courts ..

someone walk up and unload 2 into that sicko's head -or- someone go Dexter on him, chop him up into pieces and dump him into the Gulf

How many people would actually mourn the loss of that twisted idiot? I'd go visit the person that did it in jail, every week and send that person care packages

Sheriff Grady Judd in Polk County (Winter Haven to be exact) just busted a ton a of guys (38 total) who traveled across the country to pay for sex with little boys/little girls

Ranging from ages 19 - 51, including: a NASA engineer, a Disney security guard, a 5th Grade teacher who coaches youth soccer

An active military person actually paid $500 as a down payment to buy a 14-year-old girl and wanted to buy her for a full price of $1,500

All those sickos that go online - that's who these guys were

Get rid of them. Permanently. Too harsh or not, they're not any good to society in any way, shape or form

[herbieibis]

4-Real,
Yeah, I forgot about that one. I like what's happening so far with the recruits but if I said it once I'll say it a thousand times, we need some real difference makers up front on Dee. Bryant is a good start if we can keep him. I've seen it all to often the last few years, these guys who have been verballed since Spring and then drop us. There just isn't any sure thing until the ink dries!

[3G Cane]

I believe the defense was able to get some long time PSU fans on the jury. Question is, will they harbor resentment towards Sandusky for the shame he brought down on their university and its beloved head coach and find him guilty or will they view this as an opportunity to save the reputation of their school and coach by "finding" enough doubt in the testimony to acquit him?

I've seen it all to often the last few years, these guys who have been verballed since Spring and then drop us. There just isn't any sure thing until the ink dries!

This did NOT happen last year. In year's past yes, but NOT last year.

We stole some players and didn't get any stolen from us. Get used to it, that is the way it is gonna be around here from now on under Golden.

IF Miami wants a player (there are a LOT they don't want stars and all), and the player is clean and plays the recruiting game according to the NCAA rules it is almost a done deal.

Just remember there are some players who simply do NOT want to be a Cane or play by Golden's rules so some will never get an offer or never wind up at UM and that is just FINE.

[CEO]

Papa Cane states that we've got a new kicker (Ricky Perez) via preferred walk-on who will join the Canes in August. Strong leg with "multiple scholarship offers."

That'll help, especially with the graduation of Wieclaw.

I have more 411 on this that will follow.

Next feature article on another future Golden camper that is said to be the next "Matt Bosher" (yes he punts and kicks and tackles like a MAD man!).

[CEO]

OGV...I am in your hometown today. Man I hate this place! Hey, what's that smell? Swampage?? LOL

[4-Real]

All I want this Christmas is those Killer B's in next year's class- Bryant, Bain & Bostwick!

[The Dude]

It looks like Hargreaves III tweeted about coming down to Coral Gables with Chase Litton on the 21st. Then wrote "[]_[] know what it is."

[4-Real]

At least 8 wins this season. VAULT IT!!!_

"IF Miami wants a player (there are a LOT they don't want stars and all), and the player is clean and plays the recruiting game according to the NCAA rules it is almost a done deal."

Golden is a top 5 recruiter. Period. I'd put him right there with USC, Alabama, FSU, and Texas.

"Next feature article on another future Golden camper that is said to be the next "Matt Bosher" (yes he punts and kicks and tackles like a MAD man!)."

That would have worried me under the previous staff. It wears you out to do all that. But under Camp Swasey, all things are possible.

[Six]

Ya, VH3 said that he might ride down with Chase

Those two have a crazy bromance

[CoCane]

Bromance? Lol! That's a new one...

Brisley Estime, huh. I'll keep my eye on him.

Is it true that Alex Collins locked in as long as the NCAA doesn't come down to hard on da "U"? I think he's the best RB in the state for 2013. We need to keep him. Jmo

[Ohio_Cane]

NBA Finals start now!!! LET'S GO HEAT!!!

Same story with Hargreaves. Trust me.

[CoCane]

Hopefully the NCAA doesn't lay down da law until after signing day to give the staff some leverage ;-)

[Ohio_Cane]

CoCane, Golden thinks the opposite. He wants the sanctions to be handed down because other coaches are using it as a scare tactic saying "U don't know what's gonna happen to them, don't go there".

If we know what they are, they can't do that

[4-Real]

Can u guys guess which team Van Gundy is pulling 4?
