Everywhere you go, Miami is represented. Even here in Kagoshima, Japan, the main university is called Kagoshima University and has a working relationship with The U.
Good luck to James, Smith and Telemaque in the collegiate bowl.

CANESPACE RULES APPLY:
1. U gotta show up.
2. U gotta stay 'til the end.
3. Good things will happen.
So, there I am at the Under Armour HS All-Star game practice at Disney and I am standing along the fence looking for UM recruits Kevin Olsen and Artie Burns. I spot them on the adjacent field and walk over to take some photos. I position myself along the rail next to the field and who do I wind up next to?
KEVIN OLSEN'S MOM!
So we strike up the conversation and we have a great chat about Kevin, Greg, their dad and the whole family.
But more on that story tomorrow....

Met Jon Bastian from CaneInsider and David Kenyon from Bleacher Report at the UAAA practices today. Oh yeah, and Gary Ferman from Canesport too. It's was ALL good!
Posted by: 86Cane | January 02, 2013 at 07:08 PM
SOUP... Forget the blog... you have a NEW #1 PRIORITY JOB!
Find some Canes coaches and get them to call Ray Lewis PRONTO and get him on our coaching staff!
The End.

Rivals saying Bain to LSU
Posted by: Old Skool | January 02, 2013 at 07:23 PM
I have been told that Bain and Kirkland MAY have academic issues that could possibly prevent them from going to UM. I was told at one time that BOTH were going to UM but now I guess only time will tell. Both are good players and we wish them the best wherever they wind up. Maybe one of the HS coaches that reads this blog can clarify?
Posted by: 86Cane | January 02, 2013 at 07:44 PM
Roach...check this convo out I had with the guy from The Bleacher Report today:
All Star UM coahing staff:
Head Coach: Jimmy Johnson
Defensive Coodinator: Ray Lewis
LB Coach: Mike Barrow
DB Coach: Ed Reed
DL coach: Warren Sapp
Offensive Coordinator: Rob Chudzinski
WR Coach: Michael Irvin
RB Coach: Edgerrin James
OL coach: Art Kehoe
QB Coach: Bernie Kosar or Gino Toretta
Special Teams coach: Don Soldinger
Posted by: 86Cane | January 02, 2013 at 07:50 PM
No, he's not. Most great players are horrible head coaches, let alone assistant coaches. Ray Ray is the absolute best of all time, but asking him to recruit kids, evaluate hours of film, build relationships with players, high schools, and answer to Golden, all for a fraction of what his salary is right now, is just not going to work. Give him a few years to figure out what he wants to do with the rest of his life before making him a coach.
Posted by: j.w. | January 02, 2013 at 03:49 PM
I have to AGREE wit my man j.w. 100% on this. Michael Jordan was the best to ever play basketball but I wouldn't want him coaching my team or running it.
Great Players = Great Coaches?? Answer, NOT TRUE!!
Posted by: WWIN | January 02, 2013 at 08:01 PM
Ray is one of the greatest leaders of men, MJ not so much. I think Lewis and Reed will end up coaching at the U, book it!

Jack,
Still doesn't make him a good coach. He's proved he's a great player but not coach YET. We don't have time to experiment right now
Posted by: WWIN | January 02, 2013 at 08:46 PM
I imagine Bain will do well there. I just hate to see good S. Florida players wind up at Lower Standards University.
Posted by: Old Skool | January 02, 2013 at 08:47 PM
Don't know who to go for this game??????
I don't want hurtt to win a damn thang but I don't want muschamp to win a damn thang neither

Posted by: 86Cane | January 02, 2013 at 08:56 PM
I think that ray Lewis is tHe exception. He's practically an assistant coach at this point for the ravens anyway. Ray, come home!
Posted by: Tonycane | January 02, 2013 at 09:11 PM
I absolutely agree...NOT EVERY good player would make a good coach.
However, I AM SAYING that Ray Lewis will make a GREAT COACH!
He has ALL of the necessary ingredients.
AG HIRE HIM NOW!

Posted by: roachcane77 | January 02, 2013 at 09:20 PM
EASY! I am working on it.
Imagine this scene: U are a HS LB and Ray Lewis, THE RAY LEWIS, shows up for a home visit. He walks in and refuses to sit down.
Instead he just looks U in the eye and says: "U wanna be the best LB in the history of the NFL? Sign here and come with me."
NEXT!

U knw I kind of remember a few naysayers saying Bridgewater was a watered down Jacory and we dont need him....insert CROW spoon n bowl now eat....tht kid is good and if U dont think Ray Lewis is going to be roaming the sideline in some capacity guess what....insert CROW spoon n bowl now eat again....I had been saying for a while I caught an interview where he specifically said "I Promised my son that when he gets to school its all about him"...as for the good players make horrible coaches yea sure enough but not always...Larry Bird was a good coach..ijs maybe just maybe Ray Lewis II and III can be the spark we need..

ray lewis will become an analysts for ESPN. he is a clean looking guy that can speak and knows the game of football. I do not see him becoming a coach.

Although I will admit that I want to pull my hair out every time a Miami kid makes a play for Louisville.

Muschamp looks like a mad unclassy man. He looks like a fool on the sideline.

Too many!
