College football fans the moment you have all been waiting for has finally arrived: Today, Wednesday, February 6 is National Signing Day 2013!
The recruiting process is over, scholarship offers have been made and now it is time for things to get serious and for the young and talented high school athletes to sign on the dotted line.
Beginning this morning high school football players from all across the Country will begin faxing in their official Letters Of Intent (LOI) to the university that they have chosen to attend.
At the University of Miami like at any other of the 120 or so major college football programs across the United States the scene will repeat itself over and over again as the LOIs are received via fax (do faxes even still exist?).
The action will be fast and furious early in the morning and throughout the day at the beautiful Hecht Athletic Center in lovely Coral Gables, Florida.
Once the LOI is received and verified by the UM coaches and compliance department then that recruit will be formally announced by UM first and then by media outlets and blogs like Canespace.
So stay tuned to Canespace throughout the day for the latest breaking news about surprise recruits and some near misses in the 2013 recruiting game.

Reading some good news that could be coming later today, folks!
U may have counted out Golden a LITTLE too soon!
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 07:23 AM
Well, I got a bad update then. Thanks, Kenyon!
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 07:24 AM
If Golden pulls this off, just "Wow" in my book. 2 year NCAA cloud. Think about it. Just Wow!

I'm never up this early. I'm ready for these commitments! I gotta finish writing an article for Kirkland and Thomas. Make it happen, Golden!

On ESPN's board, DK does not have MIA listed.
Posted by: 360Cane | February 06, 2013 at 07:32 AM
They don't have FSWho listed for 6, either. Pay no attention to ESPN
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 07:33 AM
Hey all. Looks like Ohio's got this show covered.
Posted by: LB | February 06, 2013 at 07:42 AM
I'm trying, LB. Trying lol
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 07:43 AM
Oh I missed that one. Not saying it meant anything. ;-)
Posted by: 360Cane | February 06, 2013 at 07:43 AM
Text "GOCANES" to 74499 for text alerts for NSD. Just saw that on Facebook.
Posted by: 360Cane | February 06, 2013 at 07:44 AM
First funny gafe of the day. A couple people reported Tashawn Bower to Florida, but he said this on twitter:
"I never signed anywhere so I have no idea where this Florida stuff idle coming from"
LOL, ahhh social media!
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 07:44 AM
360, I'm signed up. They are slow. I've got them typed out and posted way before I get a text. Too slow for me, but if U can't be on here or twitter, it'll work
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 07:45 AM
Nkemdiche to Ole Miss. Shocking
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 07:46 AM

Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 07:47 AM
Ya, we let him go for Beau
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 07:48 AM
Ohio..please let me know when AQM's LOI comes in..a little nervous about that one lol
Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 07:48 AM
Ray Lewis III LOI is in!! #WelcomeToTheU!
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 07:49 AM
For the stargazers and NR guys...Edwards is actually ranked #1 at his position lol
Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 07:50 AM
Yea, I saw the photo of your "War Room." Nice setup!
Posted by: 360Cane | February 06, 2013 at 07:50 AM
So weird to say #WelcomeToTheU to Ray Lewis... He's been a #Cane since he was born. LOL
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 07:50 AM
From Rivals..
Many schools will have good days on Wednesday and Ole Miss will be a big winner but so will the Seminoles. Five-star cornerback Jalen Ramsey was essentially in the fold Tuesday and linebacker E.J. Levenberry Jr. stuck with the 'Noles Tuesday evening. I expect five-star linebacker Matthew Thomas and his four-star teammate Denver Kirkland to be in the fold as well on Signing Day despite the late push by Ole Miss for the latter. I also think the 'Noles reel in Stacy Coley and Keith Bryant to make it a big finish, just a week after fans were starting to panic.

Bostwick announcement in 5 minutes or so.
Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 07:52 AM

Supposedly the feed for Bostwick's announcement in three minutes
Posted by: kenyon19ypr | February 06, 2013 at 07:57 AM
Bostwick.....
Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 07:59 AM
According to another board, Robinson signed with LSU...I havent seen it anywhere though...Not sure why he would sign if he has an announcement set lol..then again..not sure why any committed player needs an announcement lol
Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 08:01 AM
Reading Rashard Robinson signed with L$$U
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 08:01 AM
Warm wishes, Hassan.
Posted by: LB | February 06, 2013 at 08:03 AM
If anybody's wondering Dee Liner announcing at 11am est per ESPN. U never know, my sleeper pick. Just my opinion tho.
Posted by: DeployedDiehardCane | February 06, 2013 at 08:03 AM
Jaynard Bostwick chooses.....
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 08:05 AM
Liner will stick with Ole Miss...they are buying..I mean putting together an awesome class. Even talk of them making a late push for Kirkland...they must have some cash left over lol
Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 08:06 AM
On the Bill King show this morning, JC Shubert said that landing Augustus Edwards was a huge get for Miami. Said he reminds him of Greg Jones from FSU. The kid is a bruiser and could play fullback.
Posted by: raizecane | February 06, 2013 at 08:07 AM
Florida for Bostwick...
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 08:07 AM
Ohio, was Gus one of the 5 silents?
