Kehoe Has The Gall To Steal One From Ohio

On Wednesday class of 2013 offensive tackle Alex Gall verbally committed to the University of Miami. 

Gall currently attends well known Moeller high school in Cincinatti, Ohio.  Founded in 1960, Archbishop Moeller is a private, all-male Catholic school.

Over the years the school gained fame and recognition by winning seven State football championships and five mythical National championships under then head coach Gerry Faust.

Faust managed to amass an impressive 178-23-2 record at Moeller from 1962 to 1980.  Unfortunately for Notre Dame that led them to decide to hire Faust to coach the Fighting Irish in 1981 to replace Dan Devine who had resigned. 

Faust finished his first season at ND at 5-6 and never won more than seven games in a season.  He ended his career with the Irish at 30-26-1 and never contended for a championship before being fired in 1985.

Measuring in at 6'-5" and 295 pounds Gall is currently rated as a three-star prospect by all of the recruiting services and as the #60 overall offensive tackle in the Nation. 

Gall had over 15 offers from prominent colleges all over the Country including UM rival FSU along with  North Carolina, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Duke, Indiana, Kentucky, Cincinatti and Louisville.

Hurricanes offensive line coach Art Kehoe was directly responsible for recruiting Gall to Miami.  One source said that Gall was pursued hard by Kehoe and was at the very top of his "must get" list for the 2013 class much like Norland OT Erick Flowers was last year. 

That makes Kehoe, the legendary and lifetime Miami coach with five National Championship rings, now two for two in getting his top OL prospect over the last two years.

As most football fans know it all starts up front along the line of scrimmage.  For the Hurricanes to be successful in 2012 and beyond the offensive line in particular must step up to the challenge and protect whichever quarterback wins the starting role this season to replace the recently graduated Jacory Harris.

Kehoe, who has coached many star players in the past at UM such as Leon Searcy, Vernon Carey, Brett Romberg, Bryant McKinnie, Eric Winston, Joaquin Gonzalez, K.C. Jones and Richard Mercier, certainly has his work cut out for him as whoever wins the QB competition this year will be a first-year, full time starter for the Hurricanes.

Stephen Morris, Ryan Williams or any other QB on Miami's roster will certainly need all of the protection, time and space they can get to execute Miami's intellectually demanding and complex pro-style offense.

[CEO]

WURD ON DA SKREETZ IZ...

1. Straight up. Al could ink up the next 3 classes based off the ballahs campin the next few dayz and be loaded up with badazz boiz at every single position. Grade A talent Al gotz comin to these camps. These boiz know the fundamentals of the game like aint been seen in a few. Very mature boiz for just bein in HS. Boiz takin time to help each other out, pushin each other to showout. Ballahs gettin hyped when another boi makes a good play.

2. Playahs you know got offers lined up from many big schools goin up to other ballahs helpin them with tips on gettin to full potential. Miami fans, take pride in what Al and staff has done for HS boiz everywhere. Sh$# even if boi drops a pass or messes up a drill, they got other ballahs right there encouragin boi that mistakes happen and they will ballout in next drill. Coaches aint even that patient with ballahs lol. I sure the f aint, believe that lol

3. This boi dont know if many Miami fans realize how bad things were with Miami and the relationships broken with ex ballahs, the community, HS ballahs and their coaches. It was f n ugly bruh, I mean really f n ugly. To see what the love is at for that man and what hes done to bring it all back together is amazin. Of course the coachin skillz will be answered in time but im just talkin bout Al the man. Even without football that pimp would be a great leader of men.

4. These ballahs slidin to these camps pay attention to every word he sayz. Sh$#, even the HS coaches take notes on how he runs things and speaks to them ballahs as a group and off to the side. This boi still shakes my dome on how the f he knows every ballahs name lol. Yah, I know Miami fans only give a f bout W/Ls. It was f n bad down here and in order to get the bigtime ballahs he had to repair that.

[CEO]

SKREETZ WALKIN...

1. I done heard from like 1,000 Miami fans all hyped sayin them Alexander boiz tore sh$# up. I cant say from what I seen of them I would sign off on them boiz bein standouts.

2. That boi Jaynard is one bad mutha and I aint shuttin my mouth. File away the names Khairi Clark and Adly Enoicy, holy sh$# bruh they got crazy game. Keep that to them peoples and see how long other foolies wait on them lol. Nah, bruh you do what it is you do.

3. That TJ Johnson ballah out of Island Coast HS (Cape Coral) is a fast azz mutha. Aint nobody catchin that fool from behind. Fastest ballah I seen bruh. Nah, I aint sure what Als deep interest in boi is but that boi got jetz and game to him.

[orange 'n green in the vein]

I thought Kehoe was supposed to be the washed up, weak link in this coaching staff? What's he doing pulling in his top prospects year after year, getting guys to open running lanes for the first 1000 yard rusher in a decade and wearing all the championship rings on staff then? Plus I hear Crow is already impressing the staff with his work ethic and might not totally be a waste of a scholarship in less than six months after all? Will miracles never cease?

[4-Real]

4 what its worth Ogv, I personally think Crow will be the man 2 beat after Morris is gone. Guarantee "The Crow" will have a couple of those boys transferring up outta tha Gables.

Thanks for the updates SKREETZ! Good stuff... especially THIS quote...

"Even without football that pimp would be a great leader of men."

As CEO would say... There IT IS right there!

Weight room warriors are different than on-field warriors who don't stare down their WRs/TEs and overthrow/underthrow them

A bunch of eyes don't lie for 2 years straight of watching the kid up close/personal .. even the OL coach who is getting praise right now admitted openly that his HS numbers sucked - but that he stayed out of trouble, good in the classroom and is a hard worker so he'll see the field in some capacity

Wait until Olsen gets there. I'd also like to see what Thompson can do, at least he put up some numbers in high school

H-Back material, Buck Ortega part deux

$55,484. At least that was most expensive ticket on StubHub

[4-Real]

Keep in mind six that Kyle Wright, Kirby, Jacory & Marve high school numbers were thru the roof and we all know how they turned out :(

[CGNC]

So Art is going to O-Hio to get beef. Nice.

Heat is playing really well. The fans will probably get to see a championship at home tonight. They look focused and driven

IN OTHER NEWS:

After a brilliant four-year career at the University of Miami, Brittany Viola is well on her way to making dreams a reality at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center.

Viola, who finished Wednesday's preliminary and semifinal rounds of the 10-meter platform in first place, can clinch one of two spots in the event during Sunday's finals.

“Something about this competition just gets your heart pumping. I’m going to bring the same focus and enjoyment into the finals,” Viola said.

Viola scored 734.30 points on her two 10-meter lists to take first place. In the preliminaries, she scored no lower than 72 points on any dive, including a front 3 ½ pike and an armstand double back somersault with 1 ½ twists that both went for more than 80 points. In semifinals, she opened up with a 10 on her front 3 ½ pike for 82.50 points and followed with 88 points on her armstand.

[TheWhat]

Am I the only one that finds great joy and happiness at updates from Skreetz lol. Love the info. All I want for Christmas is every player that Skreetz referred to, to sign with the U. Is that too much to ask for?

[orange 'n green in the vein]

Well, one of those guys ended up passing the career numbers that the two Heisman winners at UM racked up, the rest, well let's just say they were no Jacory Harris, that's for sure.

[CaneRock]

Make em quit HEAT! LET'S GO HEAT!!!

[CaneRock]

Battier for THREEEEEEEE! WE ON FIYUHHHHHHH!!! GO HEAT!!!

[Ohio_Cane]

So, the Heat get all the calls huh? U watching this, Willie Will? Heat getting raped and OKC has double their FT attempts

[4-Real]

I'm still trying 2 4get those days CGNC :(

[Willie Will in Nashville]

CGNC,

You right I am a heat hater, and its bcuz they get all the calls. And I don't have a problem wit building a team thru free agency I just have a problem wit doing it the coward way. Like going to the Olympics and gossiping like school girls about playing wit each other. Bird, Magic, Jordan, kobe, and etc never wanted to play wit each other they wanted to beat the best not play wit em. So my thing wit lebron, wade, and bosh is that they shoulda been tryna beat each other not play together. If it so happened that the heat just picked up bosh and James cool but to make a pact to win a championship is LAME. The great players NEVER did that!!

[Willie Will in Nashville]

Ohio,

WILLIE WILL, y is it ok 4 Garnett, Pierce and Allen 2 combine forces but bad 4 the Miami 3? Remember when punk-ass Charles Barkley teamed up with Pippen, Drexler and Olaujawan at Houston? Yet Barkley is LeBron's biggest critic & hater when it comes to LeBron coming 2 Miami.

[4-Real]

P.s. The 1 thing LeBron haters will NEVER, EVER point out about LeBron's ESPN press conference when he chose the Heat is that it was a CHARITABLE EVENT :)

[Willie Will in Nashville]

Ohio,

DA U!! Against Ohio state in the last championship we played in???

EXACTAMUNDO! And don't forget Rodman going to Chicago, even though Him and Pippen hated each other's guts. And what about when Karl Malone and Dennis Rodman, teamed up with with Kobe and Shaq in LA.

[j.w.]

Congrats heat fans, glad you guys get to celebrate, happy for the City of Miami, still not a fan of the team but they certainly played like champions the past week. Now to find something else to watch while they play the 4th Q. :)

[Willie Will in Nashville]

Ohio,

But you said you don't blame the games on the refs but you did when it happened to Da U

[4-Real]

Good point Willie

Willie Will...Just stop before U REALLY embarass yourself. U are looking really foolish right about now. 4 REAL!

No, Terry Porter did not take a championship from Miami

Game should've never even come to that point in the first place. Ohio State was a 2 touchdown underdog

Ohio State fans will say that the Chris Gamble call earlier was true pass interference and that his foot was in-bounds - which would've resulted in a 1st Down and Ohio State could've run out the clock, not giving Sievers a chance to even tie the game with the field goal and send it to OT

Not being able to stop Craig Krenzel on a 4th and 14 pass in OT that would've won it?

Allowing Krenzel to be the leading rusher for Ohio State and Miami, with 80+ yards and 2 TDs.

5 turnovers by the Canes.

The vaunted Miami OLine being outplayed by the Ohio State DLine - Dorsey was sacked 5 times. Dorsey had 2 INTs.

1st and Goal from the 2 yard line in the 2nd OT and Miami couldn't get 6 feet to score a TD?

All those things weren't Terry Porter's fault

[TheWhat]

Barring a massive collapse lebron is about to win a ship and silence all his critics. OKC is deflated and defeated and it's only the 3rd quarter lol.12 more minutes

[CaneRock]

Not being able to stop Craig Krenzel on a 4th and 14 pass in OT that would've won it?

Posted by: Six | June 21, 2012 at 11:14 PM

Why the hell Glenn Sharp was in the game at that time is beyond me.

[4-Real]

It shouldn't have never came to that point six but unfortunately it did. Even Ohio St. players said Miami got robbed. I stayed up 20 + hours drinking after that game.

[TheWhat]

I thought Miami would win by 15. So much for that looks more like 20 to 25. Gotta feel bad for durant though. He's a great player and will get his ship most likely next year.

[4-Real]

No disrespect TheWhat but 2 quote Cocane, " F** k Durant!!".

[CaneRock]

GO TO WORK BABY, GO TO WORK!!! GO HEAT!!!

[4-Real]

James Jones gets a ring!!!! :)

[TheWhat]

M V P M V P. all clowns attacking lebron need to sit down. He has answered every question.

Is pat Riley not the coolest guy in all sports.

4-Real I hear ya.

[4-Real]

The Heat bench suxx!!! Lol

[CEO]

If anyone HERE would have said after the Heat lost the first game in OKC that Miami would go on to win in 5 games and that OKC would not win another game in this series well then that guy:

WOULD HAVE TO BE A GENIUS!!!
