Straight From The Source

Recently we had the chance to chat with University of Miami student Justin Antweil about the upcoming football season for the Hurricanes.

 

Justin is the sports editor for The Miami Hurricane, the student newspaper at UM.  He is also the sports director for WVUM, the student radio station.

 

 

You can read his articles at themiamihurricane.com and listen to him and his staff broadcast all Hurricane home football games at wvum.org. 

 

1.  We hear from the UM ticket office that sales are WAY up this year.  UM AD Kirby Hocutt and the newly hired Chris Freet as SID is changing the way UM communicates with their fans for the better. What's the general consensus on how students at UM feel about the players, coaches and direction of the team?

Students at UM are extremely excited and optimistic about the season. I think every student will put his or her name in the lottery to try and get the right to buy tickets to the Ohio State game. But I think students are ready to see this team win on a consistent basis. From a public relations standpoint, the school is happy to report high Academic Progress Reports and a great Graduation Rates but the bottom line is fans just want to win. The current seniors at UM have not seen UM win a bowl game in their four year tenure. Miami is a football school first and foremost and it’s time Miami gets back to its winning ways.

 

2. Many Canes fans feel that the 2010 team may go 10-2 and compete for an ACC title.  We have a group of hard core fans known as the 12%ers that believe (like every year) that the Hurricanes will be undefeated and compete for a BCS Championship.  Still other's have their doubts about the experience, talent and depth on this team and see another 9-3 season ahead with 2011 as the year the Canes once again grasp the Holy Grail.  Where do you fall along this continuum?

 

I would define a successful season as making the BCS National Title game. January 8, 2011 in Glendale, Arizona is the only date and place UM fans should have on their minds. Once you make it to the big game, you have no control what happens (cough cough pass interference call against OSU). Miami has improved every year under Randy Shannon going from five to seven to nine wins, now it’s time to make the next step. There is really no excuse. Players are not young, the same pairing of coordinators return and there is finally depth on the roster excluding tight ends and linebackers. It’s hard to believe Miami has yet to even make the ACC Title game since they switched conferences. The ACC is not a premiere conference in football, it’s known for its basketball prowess. This team has all the tools, the big question is can these athletes become football players and make plays on the gridiron. We hear a lot about All-Americans on Green Tree Practice Field, now let’s see it when it counts.

 

3. We know the offense is loaded with talent at the skill positions but some fans are still concerned about the UM offensive line.  Do you have any clear evidence that the OL will be able to keep QB Jacory Harris standing upright and most importantly staying healthy all season long?

 

I have an extreme amount of confidence in the offensive line. While they allowed 35 sacks last year and were abysmal in the bowl game against Wisconsin, this year they have depth and talent. Orlando Franklin will be solid on the offensive line and Joel Figueroa will make the seamless transition from guard to tackle. Tyler Horn can do a serviceable job at center like AJ Trump did last year. And there is plenty of depth. Players like Brandon Linder, Shane McDermott and Malcolm Bunche won’t even start and they could be starting at a lot of other BCS schools. The big wild card is what does Randy Shannon and offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland do with Seantrel Henderson, the top offensive line prospect in the country. He’s too good to redshirt. I think he starts by the Florida State game. He’s just too talented to be watching from the sideline.

 

4. Now about the linebacker situation, what do your sources and senses tell you that Randy Shannon is going to do at MLB?  Kylan Robinson?  Surely U must be kidding?

 

Randy Shannon, a former linebacker himself, just loves veteran linebackers. We’ve seen him play Tavares Gooden, Romeo Davis, Glenn Cook, Darryl Sharpton and now he’s hyping up Kylan Robinson. There’s a reason why Robinson has not seen meaningful action during his tenure. I don’t trust K-Rob at all. I think Colin McCarthy will slide over to MLB and Jordan Futch, once healthy as he recovers from ACL surgery, will start at OLB.

 

5. The schedule, especially early on, is brutal.  What games do you see as Miami's toughest challenges or match-ups along the way?

 

While it is brutal, that’s why you come to Miami. To play in big time games. But the schedule is not as tough as it seems. Miami’s toughest ACC games are at home at Sun Life Stadium. They play Florida State, Virginia Tech and North Carolina all in Miami Gardens. That’s a big advantage. I think the biggest game will be October 2^nd against Clemson in Death Valley. That will set the tone for ACC Play. Clemson quarterback Kyle Parker is expected to return and not sign a pro deal with the Colorado Rockies.

 

6. Now for the REALLY important stuff: How are the cheerleaders looking in tryouts and early practice this year and do you have any video or photos of the 2010 squad?

Unfortunately I have no inside nuggets about any five star recruits the cheerleading squad brought in. Personally, I prefer the Sunsations over UM’s cheerleaders.

So ready for the season to start!!!!!!!!

[mi@mic@ne]

A good playa has an uncanny ability to focus. When he steps onto the football field he can hear the old guard shouting at him to leave the Cane thang on the field. This playa has no worries bout himself but he will give his best on each play. The greater the challenge the more he rises to the top. My bruddus its a Cane thang and you wouldnt understand!!
Gawd... college football is going to be normal again!! I still gonna miss Bubba tho.

Found this while digging through the garbage at the SS blog:

UM overtakes UF as top Florida college in U.S. News & World Report survey

The University of Miami has pulled an upset in the annual U.S. News & World Report college rankings.

The private university surpassed the University of Florida for the first time to become the state's top-ranked school. UM climbed three spots to No. 47 in the 2011 guide to top national colleges.

UF went from 47th to 53rd and fell from 15th to 17th among top public universities.

"We're delighted to hear the report about our rankings going up again," UM President Donna Shalala said. "It means we're securely in the top tier of American universities."

UM officials say since Shalala took over in 2001, there have been increases in graduation rates, freshmen retention rate and the academic caliber of incoming freshmen. The university has climbed 20 spots on the U.S. News survey since then.

UF is attributing its slide to state budget cuts.

"The bottom line is we've seen our state appropriation drop $150 million in the past three years," spokesman Steve Orlando said. "We're kind of happy to even stay where we are."

Florida State University, another public school, fell from 102nd to 104th.

There were no surprises at the top of the list, with the Ivy League dominating again. Harvard University ranked No. 1, followed by Yale, Princeton and Columbia. Stanford University in California ranked fifth.

The survey, which traditionally has given numerical rankings to only about 125 schools, expanded that to 197 this year. As a result, three Florida universities received rankings for the first time. Florida Institute of Technology placed 159, the University of Central Florida in Orlando 179 and the University of South Florida 183.

Many academics have criticized the rankings, particularly for its use of "peer review," where universities judge the reputations of other schools. Still, universities know they are important to students and parents.

"If parents and students are paying attention to them, you ignore them at your own peril," Orlando said.

This should be good for recruiting...yes?

I was hoping Chris Hernandez wouldn't sign with the Red Sox so the Canes could have have one more year of him starting.But as a Sox fan I love adding another quality pitcher.

I must say. Steve at SS is doing damn good for just starting on this beat. Here is something he dug up out of Polk County:

Wesley Responds to Dismissal at Miami

By Tom Zebold
THE LEDGER

Published: Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at 12:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at 12:36 a.m.

Steven Wesley isn't bitter about his exit from Miami, but he certainly isn't happy about it.

Click to enlarge
Steven Wesley

The senior defensive end from Bartow High School was dismissed from the Hurricanes football team last month and made sure his message about his time at Miami was loud and clear Monday.

"If I had a chance to do it all over again, I wouldn't play for coach (Randy) Shannon," he said in a phone interview with The Ledger.

Internet reports have said Wesley was released because of reasons ranging from academic issues to the 6-foot-3, 250-pounder being out of shape.

Wesley was quick to dismiss those as well.

"It didn't have anything to do with me being academically ineligible. It didn't have anything to do with me not being in good shape," he said.

"It didn't have anything to do with that," he continued. "That came down (to) a decision from coach Shannon personally. It was nobody else."

Wesley didn't go into detail about Shannon's reasons.

"I didn't get in any trouble at all. I didn't have any off-the-field issues when I've been down there," Wesley said. "It was really a personal issue between coach Shannon (and I). I guess he had a personal issue dealing with me. For what reason, I don't know."

Wesley's career at Miami started with a redshirt season in 2006. He played in nine games the following year and started 11 of 13 games in 2008. He played in 11 games last year and started in six of them.

Wesley said the news of his release was not taken well by some of the team.

"When all of this happened, certain coaches on my team, they were mad about what happened and they were mad about coach Shannon releasing me," he said. "Players on the team also were mad about coach Shannon releasing me. That should really let you know ... whether or not it was a good choice or a bad choice."

Wesley hasn't been sitting around stewing about the decision. It took him about two weeks to find a new home at North Alabama with coach Terry Bowden, son of former FSU great Bobby Bowden and the former head coach at Auburn.

"He had just called me one day and he told me, 'I have a full scholarship here waiting for you if you want to be a part of a team,' " Wesley said.

Wesley had a different tune about what he thinks of his new coach.

"Coach Bowden, he's a player's coach," the 22-year-old said. "He's one of those type of coaches where it's easy for you to approach and talk to about any certain situations. He's always talking and always communicating with us."

Playing time probably won't be an issue for Wesley now that he's settling in at left defensive end.

"I already talked to coach Bowden, and my defensive line coach told me I would have a chance to start," Wesley said.

The biggest adjustment from the move has nothing to do with football for the former three-year starter at Bartow.

"This is a real drastic, total lifestyle change," he said. "From Miami, you go from seeing palm trees and 70-degree weather every day to coming to trees that are bigger than all the buildings, to 100-degree weather."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, Wesley. You were weeded out. Don’t take it so hard. It’s business, remember? See, in college, you are in contract one year at a time. And I am sure the player they used you to free up a scholarship is leaps and bounds better than you.

If you were a true Cane, you’d still be here…

Not bashing on the family somewhere else…

[360Cane]

And on this part:

Wesley had a different tune about what he thinks of his new coach.

"Coach Bowden, he's a player's coach," the 22-year-old said. "He's one of those type of coaches where it's easy for you to approach and talk to about any certain situations. He's always talking and always communicating with us."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How does he know this much about Bowden? He's been with him for what, a week or two? lol

[CaneRock]

Although I wish Wesley would've gone out with a bang His Sr. year, I wish Him luck at UNA, and hopefully a shot at an NFL career soon after, ONCE A CANE, ALWAYS A CANE! in my book...

More from "The New Guy" at the SS:

Shannon downplayed the crowded situation at running back.

“What we try to do is find a way everybody can help us on the team,” he said. “And Lee’s been here, he’s a veteran guy and he’s played a lot. So when you look at Lee, you say, ‘OK, here’s a guy that plays running back, does a good job for us, where are we going to need some help? I always think about next year or down the road.

“Lee ain’t going to be able to help us this year because he didn’t go through spring. But the fifth, sixth game of the season, somebody might injured. Then Lee’s ready to go.”

— Shannon said he sees similarities in Chambers and Sam Shields. As you remember, Shields switched from receiver to cornerback for his senior season.

This transition won’t be tough for Chambers, Shannon said, because he played some defense at Coffeeville High School in Coffeeville, Miss., making 57 tackles with one sack and one interception for a touchdown as a defensive back and linebacker.

In fact, Chambers said he was an All-State corner in high school – “I had fun at it,” he said – and colleges mostly recruited him to play corner.

“It won’t be that bad,” Chambers said of returning to defense. “I’ll pick a couple off and it’ll bring the natural running back skills back out.”

LOVE THAT CONFIDENCE AND TEAM FIRST ATTITUDE!

[DZ8]

I'll bring my boots.

[DZ8]

I'm more worried that the move indicates that Ryan Hill and maybe even McGee might be a little more dinged up then we know about.

We shall see.

So is Wieclaw still on the team?

[SOUP]

Ten of the top college football programs have been selected to wear uniquely designed Nike uniforms for at least one game during the 2010 season the company announced today.

The University of Alabama, Boise State University, University of Florida, University of Miami (FL), The Ohio State University, Oregon State University, University of Pittsburgh, Texas Christian University, Virginia Tech and West Virginia University will wear the innovative designs for a minimum of one game on their schedules.

The dates of those games will be announced at the unveiling of the uniforms Sept. 1 in New York.

[SOUP]

Rock...the answer is YES:

Practice Highlights

Offensively, A.J. Highsmith successfully drove the `Canes down the field in the two-minute drill, connecting on intermediate passes to Lamar Miller, Aldarius Johnson and Chase Ford to set up a field goal by Jake Wieclaw. On the defensive side, linemen Marcus Robinson and Olivier Vernon each got into the backfield and forced errant throws by the quarterback.

Special Teams Work

More emphasis is being placed on special teams as camp rolls on and it was evident today as punts and field goals were a main focus. All-ACC kicker/punter Matt Bosher boomed a handful of punts early on before later connecting on a 50-yard field goal during a two-minute drill. Jake Wieclaw's field goal in a two-minute drill came from about 35 yards out.

[SOUP]

I'm more worried that the move indicates that Ryan Hill and maybe even McGee might be a little more dinged up then we know about.

Posted by: DZ8 | August 17, 2010 at 06:14 PM

Never thought of it like that. Wonder what Manny has to say about that?

[DZ8]

Too me Ryan Hill playing is a bonus because he's a 5th year sr. already and hasn't contributed too much.

McGee is a sophomore with EXTREME talent that I was hoping was going to take the next step.

It's early still... we don't know anything. I'm going to quit reading tea leaves and say... The sky is NOT falling.

THIS DOESN'T SOUND GOOD: MAYBE LEE CHAMBERS CAN PLAY WR?

BY SUSAN MILLER DEGNAN AND BILL VAN SMITH
sdegnan@MiamiHerald.com

University of Miami's deep corps of receivers just got a bit thinner.

LaRon Byrd missed Monday morning's practice session and will not practice in the Monday afternoon session of the Hurricanes' second two-a-day format.

Also missing since last Wednesday's scrimmage: freshman receiver Allen Hurns, who hurt his right hamstring.

Sophomore receiver Davon Johnson also is ailing. He was on crutches on the sideline the first day of fall camp, his right leg bandaged to the knee.

"VT should take care of this nonsense though.

Posted by: Captain Optimist aka Cavaleer | August 17, 2010 at 10:00 AM "

Really? Why would you think that Cav, it's two programs who excel at winning nothing of real value, of which one of them is more successful than the other. I'll give you a hint, the coach of the more successful team at winning nothing of real value would need makeup to play the role of Harvey Dent's criminal mastermind in the next Batman iteration.

WR's being nicked up just means it time for more STREETER!

[solarcane]

OGV

VT lost 8 defensive starters, this is going to be the first year in a long time VT's offense is going to have to win the games.

Boise State and Miami both have the Qbs and offenses to give VT all it can handle this time around.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Boise pull out all the stops by the middle of the second qtr.

I want VT to win, I want every team we play to go 11-1 with one loss to us.

Questions for Justin at UM???

[WindyCane1]

The depth seems to pay off now that there are a few injuries. At WR, Devon J., Byrd and Hurns are "nicked" up a little, but there is still Travis, Hankerson, Aldarius, Streeter and Thompkins, a pretty solid rotation.

Chambers move to CB demonstrates how deep and strong the RB rotation has become because Chambers was a great back when UM recruited him and many thought he might one day challenge Baby J. and Coop. Now, Berry has developed from a DB recruit to a legitimate NFL RB prospect, and Mike James might have even more upside as an all-around, versitile athlete.

From what I have seen so far, Berry and James will split most carries, but will be have lot more success than Coop and Baby J did last year since they have more experience under Whipple, and they are simply better RBs. You also have one of the three - Lamar, Storm and Clements - with some mop-up duty unless something unexpected happens.
If the running game is strong, that will take a lot of pressure off of Jacory and Whipple's offense will be even more explosive.

[bg1906]

To be unveiled on Sept. 1. New Pro Combats and there are 10 teams again.

http://voices.idahostatesman.com/2010/08/17/ccripe/boise_states_young_left_tackles_battle_job_64000_tickets_sold_op

I’d expect to see them when we play Ohio State.

As the 10 team all play each other so you could see a home and away type Pro Combat. Here is my prediction.

Boise State vs VTech
Miami vs Ohio State
Alabama vs Florida
Pittsburgh vs West Virginia
Oregon State vs TCU

[j.w.]

Soup- I'd love to hear Justin's take on who the leaders are on this team. Not on the field so much as who on this team is the "Conscience." Points for anyone who remembers the original Cane with that nickname. :)

[Six]

CaneRock - Perception for basically the most part IS reality

Why does Boss Man Shannon have a picture next to his window of a black man, in a dark suit and long dress coat, walking outside of a stadium - and then go on about how he hates seeing kids wearing their pants half off their ass, showing the world their boxers?

Why does Boss Man Shannon then say "you can't tell if he's a businessman or a ball player", when speaking of that person in the picture?

(It's Jackie Robinson walking outside of Ebbett's Field)

Why would he even care about having that picture and showing it to his players?

A lot of the time, you see what you get ... of course there are exceptions - that's why it's such a surprise when that happens

With someone like Eldrick, hey, who exactly got fooled in the first place? All the people that thought he was some good guy father of the year candidate - or - all the other people that really knew what he was like in being an ass on/off the course? All the porn stars & call girls were just icing on the cake for people who didn't buy into the smiling Eldrick ads for Gillette or Buick

He also wouldn't have gotten all those sponsors in the first place if he presented himself to the world like Adam Jones

My whole point was about doing what you needed in order to make more money, by presenting yourself in a better light to the business/marketing world for them to want to sponsor you and possibly make you a face/front man to pimp their product

And what did I say? "if you do have intelligence and general common sense, then you'll also generally have a pretty good character as it is."

I said "generally" - I didn't say "always"

Eldrick was an idiot in his actions, everyone knows this - he obviously didn't show too much common sense

When I say that perception for the most part is reality - did it not register with the difference between Antrel Rolle and Adam Jones?

I'm going to name some people and you tell me by reading their names, what exactly pops into your head and why

Peyton Manning. Kenyon Martin. Hank Aaron. Chris Henry. Myron Rolle. Tony Dungy. Drew Brees. Latrell Sprewell. Plies. Derek Jeter. C-Murder.

You try and tell me these guys perception is not reality

Of course perception is reality isn't 100%, but I'd put it at around 85% to 15%

[Six]

Canez1 - ya, sorry brah, sorry to disappoint you ha

As you can tell, in the pic that 86 posted at the Rays game (without the vest, sorry CGNC), ya, I'm more olive than black

But, if you want to pay for some skin augmentation surgery for me like Robert Downey Jr.'s character had in Tropic Thunder ....

And speaking of Edge, I remember watching the FSU-Miami game during Coker's last year. If I remember correctly, Edge was standing on the Miami sideline in a black tee and some black jeans and He still had the mouth full of gold teeth. And out of all people, do you know who was gushing all over Him...BRENT MUSBURGER! Basically, Brent was commenting on how He never changed, how He kept the same friends from back in the day, all in all, Brent was saying that Edge was keepin' it real. But contrast that magazine cover of Edge full of gold teeth, with a picture of His former Colts teammate Marvin Harrison, ha, perception would've whooped your ass...
