Johnson and Bush were named second-team Freshman All-America by CollegeFootballNews.com, while Duke and Eddie Johnson were named to the CBSSports.com All-Freshman Team.
Duke Johnson, a second-team Walter Camp All-America, was the ACC Rookie of the Year after posting one of the greatest freshman seasons in Miami history. The Miami, Fla., native amassed 2,060 all-purpose yards and 13 touchdowns and rushed for a UM freshman-record 947 yards.
Johnson was a true freshman that instantly became a triple-threat back and was named the ACC Rookie of the Week a league-best five times. He was also named third-team All-America as an all-purpose runner by CBSSports.com.
Bush played in 10 games, while making six starts at safety. He tallied 34 total tackles, including 28 solo stops, three pass break-ups and three forced fumbles.
Eddie Johnson had 59 tackles and a team-leading 7.5 tackles-for-loss in 10 games with eight starts. He also finished second in ACC Defensive Player of the Year voting. The redshirt freshman LB from Selma, Ala., was a two-time ACC Player of the Week recipient.
Yup!!

The NCAA is killing us with a slow, agonizing, "death by indecision."

Dude go play some golf, get outside and relax. Do U think your constant hand wringing over the NCAA investigation is going to improve things?
U need some serious time off hiking, biking or kayaking. Oh, and BTW, where can I do that in your neck of the woods? No really, Me and my wife would love to hook up with U and yours and do some OUTDOOR activities sometime soon!

LOL... Sorry Soup, but I'm just ready for this NCAA BS to be OVER ALREADY! How are we going to get the studs we need to come here until the FINAL decision is handed down already?
Anyway, bike trails ABOUND over here. Some real nice ones in Venice recently opened. The ones in Englewood aren't quite as scenic, but do exist. Good kayaking all over... Here's a good starting point not far from me.

Another good site JUST "yards" West of I-75 off Exit 191 is Snook Haven. (Campground & boat launch.) It used to have a nice little restaurant & live music, but the County has evicted the old vendors there, and are in the process of renovating it. (Not sure when that "restaurant" part of it reopens.)

My wife & I are booking out of here for the holidays to meet up with my daughter, son-in-law, and 14 month old grandson, but after the New Year we'll be around.

Hey Roachcane. What's really frustrating about the NCAA taking so long is they're being childishly spiteful with it. Here's a good question. Who's the most hated by canes fans, the NCAA or D'Onofrio?
Posted by: CoCane | December 10, 2012 at 07:46 PM
Hello everyone. Saw three of our pro Canes yesterday, fun times.

I personally hate the NCAA more... they are more devastating to the OVERALL program, and national perception of our school.
D'No's just wrecking our D.
Posted by: roachcane77 | December 10, 2012 at 08:19 PM
And Antcane... What you call whining, I call having a high standard and refusing to accept mediocrity and unfairness. JMHO.

Interesting Cane trivia:
The Miami Hurricanes played the SECOND indoor game EVER...against whom?
Posted by: CaneRock | December 10, 2012 at 06:05 PM
Temple.
They lost 34-0 in the auditorium in Atlantic City,NJ.
An estimated 3 million square feet of Pennsylvania black dirt had to be hauled in to make a grassless field.
Interesting gesture, the Canes players gave the Temple players coconuts before the game.
Posted by: CaneRock | December 10, 2012 at 09:19 PM
The Herald is reporting that D'Onofrio interviewed for the Temple HC vacancy. I think I speak for all of us when I say I've got my fingers crossed for him.
Posted by: dj moonbat | December 10, 2012 at 09:19 PM
The U actually did many things that most folks don't know first. They were the first major southern university to give an African American football scholarship (Ray Bellamy, I think 1966, with Pres. Stanford not allowing the band to play Dixie prior to the 1968 season, and many southern schools refusing to schedule the U after signing Bellamy). A few years later, the U was the first to sign a woman for an athletic scholarship in the country, if memory serves, in the early 1970s for golf. Many huge breakthroughs from this private little university that unfortunately appears to be stereotyped in other ways.
Nice to check in here. Hope all is well, 86, Solar, etc.
Posted by: JCane | December 10, 2012 at 09:58 PM
I didn't know Eddie Johnson was from my old stomping grounds of Selma, Alabama. And of course LG is from Montgomery. Hope my Canes can grab some more players here in this state of Alabama that I call home.
Posted by: Terrance Sullivan | December 10, 2012 at 10:25 PM
I'd rather go undefeated and not go to a bowl game due to sanctions than having D'no swiss cheeeeeeese nofense. Ex. Ohio State. Have a real coaching staff. I pray for Temple to hire him! We deserve better.

Yes, I am completely OUT. Which is the reason for the delay in a few shirts still owed. I have a box sitting in Ocala's coffee shop but I have no access yet as I have not headed uo that way recently.

It doesn't matter what happens to D'Onofrio if we aren't able to recruit some horses at the DT spot. As of right now our only DL is a 210 lb DE. Awesome news.Posted by: DTease Please | December 10, 2012 at 04:20 PMAnother great post...I'm not hearing about us getting the REALLY big, mean, DTs that we are SORELY lacking. The kids on our team NOW are "progressing" under U Tough, no doubt... but they're NOT the studs we really need to shore up our porous D.I'll give D'No THAT... we're lacking "physically" up front..

That's awful. I hope he's okay.
Let's all slam Heather Dinich. Not only did she leave off Duke, but she tagged UM in the column. What a load of crap!

I'm pretty sure Sinister didn't mean that literally, LB.
He got torched by Brady, Stallworth and others last night.

I know. I'm fluent in sarcasm. :)
Rumor mill: Quinton Powell (Gator decommit) has UM in his top 3 and shall visit per ESPN.
Is Knighton projected to play offense?
Posted by: LB | December 11, 2012 at 09:00 AM
Eddie Gran leaving FSWho. Losing a good recruiter.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | December 11, 2012 at 09:21 AM
Alex Figueroa, along with Knighton, committed to Canes, if U hadn't heard.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | December 11, 2012 at 09:23 AM
I believe they want Knighton for offense. Gran leaving amy actually help us. Every time something about FSU and recruits, it's either Gran or Coley they mention.
Posted by: herbieibis | December 11, 2012 at 09:49 AM
86, typepad doesn't like my list of Canes commits... Won't let me post a list. Someone has a name U've blocked lol

PS - He's the RB coach. Let's see if this helps with Alex Collins ;-)
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | December 11, 2012 at 10:02 AM
They've now lost Stoops, Eliot & Gran, now if someone would scoop Coley, they'd really be hurting.
Sounds like if we could get Ray Lewis to help us with Foster we may be able to get him.

No one knows for sure yet. He took ACT's Saturday, so it's possible, but doesn't look good.

Wishing for the best, hope he doesn't end up in that grooms or leggett category (grades). Kid looks legit. Thanks OC.

If these guys ain't big nasty roguish defensive linemen that can run I dont want ti hear about it!
Posted by: usagainsttheworld | December 11, 2012 at 10:57 AM
Ask yourself this,
Why would they take him off the verbal list, if he was coming? I could see it if he got his graeds and they weren't good enough to get in.
Posted by: herbieibis | December 11, 2012 at 10:57 AM
If AJL's grades aren't good, he'll end up at Marshall 50 miles away from me (like the other two).
Rumor mill & overreaction Tuesday: Wisconsin and UM are linked again. Apparently Golden is in their top 3 candidates.
Posted by: LB | December 11, 2012 at 11:10 AM
"PS - He's the RB coach. Let's see if this helps with Alex Collins ;-)"
Yes.
Even though FSU continues to play a crappy schedule, next year's is slightly tougher (Nevada and Wofford, though it still makes me chuckle). They also lose their QB on top of their assistants. Expect the win total to dip a couple.
Posted by: LB | December 11, 2012 at 11:18 AM
Just in case it wasn't covered previously, but Al-Quadin Muhammad (DE) from Don Bosco visited this weekend.
I wouldn't worry too much, just covering the bases.
Posted by: LB | December 11, 2012 at 11:21 AM
Seems like the kids that do want to be here end up having grade issues. That sux, I'd also like to see us get some DT's, doubt K. Bryant ends up here. Read some twitter blogs, apparently some of our fans been bashing him hard, that certainly won't help. I'm hoping with that rb coach leaving that puts us back in it with Collins.
