Yesterday I had a chance to catch up with our old friend Manny Navarro from the Miami Herald. He happened to drop by Canespace late last night (as he is known to do from time to time) and I managed to corner him for one of our most popular features: "Five Questions With Manny Navarro".
Affectionately known here as "The Mandingo" (part man, part dogged reporter), Manny has been generous of his time and shared his knowledge of all things related to your University of Miami Hurricanes here on The Space over the last three years.
With the 2010 college football season just around the corner and Fall practice set to start soon, Navarro is now back on the Hurricane beat after covering the Florida Marlins for most of the Summer.
After getting his fill of baseball and the struggling (below .500) Marlins, The Mandingo recently posted a flurry of feature articles on the Herald's UM blog, "Eye On The U", to prove he (much like UM) is coming back with a vengance!
Those articles can be found here: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/umiami/
Here are Manny's responses to my five questions:
Q: The Offensive Line is the primary concern for UM this year. Who will start, who will play and who will dominate?
A: Just a preseason prediction, but here is my two deep for September 2:
LT Orlando Franklin | Seantrel Henderson
LG Brandon Washington | Malcolm Bunche
C Tyler Horn | Brandon Linder
RG Harland Gunn | Jared Wheeler
RT Joel Figueroa | Jermaine Johnson
I know you might be surprised to see Joel Figueroa at right tackle. But I've been hearing for awhile this is a real possibility. I was told Jermaine Johnson came out ahead of Ben Jones in the spring. If he proves he's ready, he'll start at right tackle and Figueroa will slide over to right guard. But if Johnson isn't, UM will go with their best five. Eventually, I expect Henderson and Linder to make a strong push to play. Both are too talented to at least not get into the rotation.
Q: The Linebacker position has Hurricane fans guessing. Will Kylan Robinson really start at MLB? Will Colin McCarthy move to the middle? Will Sean Spence rebound? Will others show up?
A: All great questions without clear cut answers and a serious area for concern for Canes fan. I've been told the ball is ultimately in Kylan Robinson's court. If he can stay healthy and continue to improve, he'll win the job in the fall and keep McCarthy and Spence on the outside. Word is defensive coordinator John Lovett wants McCarthy to play the middle, but Randy Shannon would prefer to keep him outside. The biggest thing UM needs this season is for both McCarthy and Spence to remain healthy. Ramon Buchanon did a nice job last season. But it wasn't amazing. Jordan Futch is coming back from injury. Outside of that those five, UM is counting on C.J. Holton to take the next step and a bunch of freshmen to grow up fast. Obviously, the Canes can't suffer any major injuries here or we could see some guys make a position switch. Marcus Robinson, in my mind, would be the first called on to move back to linebacker.
Q: The WR position is locked and loaded. Which WR excels this year for the Hurricanes?
A: It's more like who doesn't excel. Leonard Hankerson should once again be the go-to guy in the offense with Travis Benjamin the big play threat and Aldarius Johnson the guy you go to on third down. LaRon Byrd finished second on the team last year with 33 catches. But somehow, he doesn't feel like he did enough. I think if anybody breaks out with more TD catches and big plays it is him. I think we'll also see a lot more of Kendal Thompkins and Tommy Streeter than we have the first two seasons.
Q: Opposite Brandon Harris who starts? Who gets P/T? Who should we look for as a PTP?
A: After Brandon Harris, the starting job is Demarcus Van Dyke's to lose. I've been hearing about how much he's improved. We'll see. After that, the nickelback job will likely go to either Brandon McGee or Ryan Hill. The way the Canes have used the nickelback spot in the past is to give it to a veteran. I could see Hill being typecast for that and McGee being pushed to be more of the deep corner like Van Dyke and Sam Shields were used last year because of their natural speed. I think the biggest development could turn out to be what happens with Jamal Reid. We know he was pushing Ray Ray Armstrong hard at safety in the spring. But Vaughn Telemaque told us Wednesday Reid has been doing great things at corner during 7 on 7 work. With Jared Campbell and Jojo Nicolas back as serviceable backups at safety, it almost makes sense to try Reid out at corner since it is a bigger need. UM could ultimately decide to just put the best guys on the field like they do on the offensive line.
Q: We all know that Mike James will be the starting RB for the Hurricanes this year. After James which RB do you see as making a difference in 2010?
A: Good one 86! Well, ahead of Mike James, Damien Berry will probably get between 20-25 touches a game and be asked to carry the brunt of the load. Since he and James are such similar backs in terms of their running styles, I actually see redshirt freshman Lamar Miller getting more touches than James because he's a change of pace. Berry told me Wednesday Miller has looked really good being shifty and hitting holes hard with his breakaway speed. Either way, all three are pretty much entrenched to handle the bulk of the carries. Depending on what happens with Graig Cooper, I think Storm Johnson or Lee Chambers are next on the depth chart. We'll see them play sort of a Shawnbrey McNeal type role -- 5-6 carries in games that are decided before the fourth quarter. Eduardo Clements and Darion Hall probably won't get off the scout team all year. And that's a good thing. Let those guys develop and stay healthy for when Berry and Cooper are gone.
That's all for this installment of "Five Questions With Navarro". We thank Manny for his time and insights into your Miami Hurricanes.
Stay tuned as Fall practice starts on August 5 and the news coming out of Coral Gables picks up over the next couple of weeks leading up to the season opener against FAMU at newly re-named Sun Life Stadium on September 2.
Six game losing streak could mean that the 14 out of 15 match ups is just against all our opponents, not just Pitt.
REMEMBER, we think that is just using the spread and not the actual outcomes of the games. For entertainment purposes only.

The University of Miami and the University of Notre Dame have officially come to an agreement on the dates and sites of a future three-game football series between the schools.
The series will open with a neutral site game at Soldier Field in Chicago on Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012. Game two of the series is scheduled for four years later, with the Hurricanes traveling to South Bend, Ind. to face the Fighting Irish on Saturday, Oct. 8, 2016 at Notre Dame Stadium. The final game of the contract will be played at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla. on Saturday, Nov. 25, 2017.
"I am excited to announce that the University of Miami has renewed its historic football rivalry with the University of Notre Dame," University of Miami Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt said. "Not only is it an outstanding opportunity for both programs, but it is great for the sport of college football."
The last time the two teams met in Miami, the Hurricanes cruised to a 27-10 win over Notre Dame at the Orange Bowl in 1989. Three of Miami's wins over Notre Dame came during the regular season of the Hurricanes' 1983, 1987 and 1989 national championship years. Notre Dame leads the all-time series between the two schools, 15-7-1.

ARcane I got my tix for that game back in March on stubhub or one of those websites.. I believe 2nd level 45 yard line row 1.. SO PUMPED FOR THOSE SEATS!!!- Pretty Cheap too I believe 130$ a seat.
If Peterson accepted 60 k to go to LSU, that pisses me off. We could really use him across from B Harris.. that in my opinion would make us a NC contender for sure.
And if ITU knew, why wouldnt this be reported?? And your right, we dont need him if he would accept that kind of money, but in the end, if LSU never offered we woulda had him so it really f'in pisses me the f off. I dont like snitches as much as the next guy BUT SOMEONE REPORT THIS!!

Patrick Peterson going to LSU was also fueled by his father's credit card debt being paid off. Also his dad was given a job at a high school in Baton Rouge.
LSU is very clever in handling the NCAA; they stay in good standing by always having a sacrificial lamb on staff. They always seem to be in the headlines for firing someone on staff for tampering with players.

NEW POLL IS UP, TOP RIGHT!
Posted by: SOUP | July 24, 2010 at 05:52 PM
FROM SHANDEL AT THE SS:
A few thoughts:
–Telemaque said he and Ray Ray Armstrong will play both safety spots.
–Telemaque played some cornerback in the spring. He said the biggest benefit was speaking with former `Canes standout Ed Reed, who said he would become a complete player by learning other positions in the secondary.
–Senior Damien Berry, normally quotable, wasn’t as talkative. Lots of short answers. Berry will enter camp as the starting running back, but he isn’t looking at it that way. He’s expecting strong competition from Mike James, Lamar Miller and Storm Johnson.
–Junior LaRon Byrd’s strongest message was how youth played a factor in last year’s disappointing finish. After starting 3-1, the Hurricanes were on the cusp of being on the top of college football again. They went 6-3 the remainder, ending with a surprising loss to Wisconsin the Champs Sports Bowl.
“It’s like with anything,” Byrd said. “When you get a lot of accolades, of course, it’s going to get to your head. We’re all teenagers, and we’re all humans at the end of the day … Last year we looked at the first four games (as) our hardest games. We went 3-1 and we thought we were going to the national championship and that kind of hurt us.”
Posted by: SOUP | July 24, 2010 at 06:03 PM
I said Mike James on that pole. He is gonna be a surprise. He can run between the tackles and from you you guys are saying he will start off in camp and hopefully keep the starting job. With Berry coming in the second half like last years role..he could have 1,000 this year but Mike James is my favorite back!

I went with Berry, He will carry the ball when hes in there because he can't block or catch passes, but he dam sure can run.
Mike James can block and can catch passes, which I think will subtract from his rushing total.

autumn,
thanks I appreciate that.
A while back I had a long conversation with my mentor who is a Sister of Mercy, and also a conversation with my hero, my mom in law. After talking with them I came to this conclusion.
I was becoming a hypocrite and not honest with myself when I would argue with folks about unimportant and trivial things , and then end the reply with "peace."
I have tried to steer myself back to where I know I should be, and when I'm confident I'm there I'll sign off with peace again.
People on here like Umike, Zakee, Mr troutman, and Ocalacane can probably make sense of what I'm trying to say, although I can't really explain it in words.

All I know it is great having a herd of running backs...seems like 1999 all over again except we have more horses(rbs) to carry the load this year. The cupboard is full and will be even tighter next year when the numbers are stock with athletes. It took Shannon 4 years to create this STORM we are about to unleash on the COllege football world.. U see it was detected by many of us ( CALVIN, CANES 1, MYSELF ETC..) ... That once SHANNON took over that the transformation Of Miami has begun. He was to bring back that fire that was missing.....He took his lumps along the road while doing so. Many criticised IMO unfairly KNOWING this was his first HEAD coaching job 2. He inherited a JV team that had to be strip from the core in order to compete with the BIG BOYS, 3. He didn't have stability at asst. coaches at first,,,, 4 He basically had nothing to work with ( a less talented team)when he started unlike Alabama, Florida and other schools that had gotten new coaches over the years. Now he has players that want to win and that is what we are going to see from now on.. Getting stump like that last year against Wisconsin WOKE UP AN ANGRY AND SLEEPING GIANT....
PEACE!!!!

Posted by: solarcane | July 24, 2010 at 08:10 PM
If a Berry can run but not catch or block in Whipple's pro-style offense, his playing time will get cut because UM opponents will be able to predict what plays UM will run offensively when Berry is in there. If Berry hasn't learned how to block and catch better than he did last year, Mike James will get more playing time.
Mike James showed this spring that he is not afraid to cut back, run between the tackles, break a tackle and get to the second level. Arm tackles will not bring James down.
As a true freshman, Smiley showed that he is tough, strong, smart and capable of playing like a real man at the college level when he stepped in and started at FB. If James continues to improve, it will be hard to keep him off the field in 2010-11.

The Bodogs still love Miami
2010 College Football Outlook: Miami Hurricanes
by Allen James | July 23rd, 2010
Miami appears poised to take another big step forward in 2010.
The Miami Hurricanes have yet to even win a bowl game under fourth-year coach Randy Shannon, but there’s no question this team is on the rise following last year’s 9-4 record, UM’s most wins since 2005. And if things bounce right, the Canes could not only be ACC contenders but also national title contenders this season. UM is the 3/2 favorite on Bodog’s college football odds to win the ACC Coastal Division, 5/2 to win the ACC title and 18/1 to win the national championship.
UM climbed into the Top 10 last year after impressive wins over FSU, Oklahoma and Georgia Tech, but the team showed its youth by fading a bit and not looking great in the Champs Sports Bowl against Wisconsin. Still, all those excellent Shannon recruiting classes should start to really show up this year. Miami’s offense is led by quarterback Jacory Harris, who started very strong last year but struggled at the end due to an injured thumb. He missed spring practice following thumb surgery but guarantees he will be 100 percent by the opener against Florida A&M. Harris completed 242 of 406 passes last season for 3,352 yards and 24 touchdowns, the third-most in the ACC. But he also threw 17 interceptions, second-most in Division I-A. Projected starting running back Graig Cooper also missed spring ball after he blew out his knee in the bowl game last season. It’s not clear if he will play this season, but UM now has the most depth at that position it has had since the early 2000s. And at receiver, the top three pass catchers from last year are back, and they are all game-breakers. Three starters do have to be replaced on the line, but UM got a late commitment from the nation’s top OL recruit in Seantrel Henderson, who could start right away. Six starters are back overall on this unit.
On defense, seven starters are back, led by end Allen Bailey, a likely Top 15 NFL draft pick in 2011. The defensive line has stellar depth and should be a strength. The linebackers should be very good if Sean Spence can return to his freshman form and stay healthy. And the secondary could potentially be excellent, led by cornerback Brandon Harris. The defense needs to get to the quarterback better in 2010 and force more turnovers.

Posted by zarokon July 24, 2010 at 10:01 PM
It was the DL's fault for not getting any pressure, why else would Miami dial up Cover 0 and bring 6,7, and sometimes 8 guys. The two teams that were burning Miami in Cover 0 were NC,WF,and I think VT also. Although Miami didn't use Cover O that much, it was a little too much than I could stand. That's one thing about the great Miami teams, those front 4s created pressure and held their own with little help from the LBs. Hopefully with the addition of Petri, Miami won't have to resort to blitzing like that just to get pressure...

• UM people said these June freshmen arrivals have impressed in on-field work: Brandon Linder (will push junior center Tyler Horn); cornerback Devont'a Davis (Vaughn Telemaque expects him to play in 2010); tight ends Clive Walford, 6-4, and Asante Cleveland, 6-5 (``they know how to use height to their advantage'' as receivers, Telemaque said); and running back Eduardo Clements (``shifty, quick dude,'' Damien Berry said).
• One competition UM people are eager to see is Thearon Collier against Kendal Thompkins for playing time as the primary slot receiver. ``Thompkins has a knack [to get to] the end zone,'' Telemaque said.
LaRon Byrd said UM players ``have been there to support'' Collier, who disclosed on Facebook in May that his son passed away. Collier's family has endured incredible pain -- his father was murdered before Collier was born. ``It's a tragedy losing a newborn, and it shows how strong he is that he's been out here'' practicing, Byrd said.

How about the Rays FINALLY winning a game in Cleveland for the first time since Sept.2005?
That game was 1-0, with Seth McClung getting the win for the Rays and future Cy Young Winner Cliff Lee, taking the loss for the Indians
Seth McClung - that's pretty much all you need to know why the Rays were bad for a long long time in their short existence ... when you have the big red head as a starter, you've got problems
Rays won though tonight, going up against one of their better arms they used to have in their system - Mitch Talbot
Talbot has some filth on the mound, the way he has progressed on throwing his change up is beyond impressive. He already had better stuff than James Shields when he was in the Rays farm system - the only difference was the control of his change up .... he's obviously worked that out, b/c you can't even tell a difference in his arm motion/speed when he throws it & there's about a 9-10 mph difference from his fastball to his change up

Jefferson's O-Coordinator saw me, came up & talked with me ... real cool cat ... when I was talking with him, Andre Davis rolled up on us, said whats up
I like the kid, has good hands, seems to go up & get the ball when he wants - but for some reason, I dunno, just didn't seem too much like he was doing anything too great in running his routes ... almost just going through the motions - dunno what that's about. Maybe just the OCoordinator trying to get his other kids some work - hell, he has 3 damn good WRs, so, have to throw the other kids a bone as well while they can, to get them ready possibly for the season if needed
Here's some pics from the USF site of Andre out there today - all of the USF coaches were out there talking to the kids, Skip Holtz was out there for a long time, going from game to game, watching & talking to coaches and kids

Love Thompkins in the slot, but at 180/185, I think he's still too small and needs more bulk to return Kicks/Punts... not that he is not good but getting hurt is the point, like TB last year.
