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.
Oh and my boy McCord or whatever. That true fresh DE we have. He looks solid just needs some weight.

Dam... FSU has 3 OLB's already. If we can't get Thomas who can we get?
Posted by: CoCane | February 06, 2013 at 08:47 AM
How in the world dis John Franklin (Collins teammate and FSU commit) go from 2-star and unranked to 3-star and ranked the #25th best QB?? ;p;
Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 08:50 AM
And Chick learns to get off blocks.
Posted by: 360Cane | February 06, 2013 at 08:42 AM
Chick is average at best. I think he was a bust so far......hope he proves me wrong!!!!
Posted by: thirstybuzzardcane | February 06, 2013 at 08:50 AM
Top defensive recruits often times go through sophomore slumps. See Sean Spence.
Posted by: LB | February 06, 2013 at 08:52 AM
Oh come on thirsty. You know it's No'D and his schemes. Has nothing to do with true freshmen and busts. ;-)
Posted by: 360Cane | February 06, 2013 at 08:54 AM
DT Ufomba Kamalu's LOI is in!! #WelcomeToTheU!
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 08:54 AM
Gall won the Cincy linemen of the year twice? Sheesh.
Posted by: LB | February 06, 2013 at 08:54 AM
Kamalu LOI is in. Just missing Bond if I'm not mistaken.
Posted by: DeployedDiehardCane | February 06, 2013 at 08:54 AM
Could be worst the top 10 recruits in Georgia are going out of state-they wanna hang Richt
Posted by: TJL | February 06, 2013 at 08:55 AM
I guess everyone was just focusing on Chick all the time because they didn't have to worry about anybody else.
Posted by: thirstybuzzardcane | February 06, 2013 at 08:55 AM
So Powell, Robinson, Kirkland & Thomas are the next up. Oh shyt...
Posted by: CoCane | February 06, 2013 at 08:55 AM
LB, Gall is a VERY good cornfed boy from up near me.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 08:55 AM
Our first DT?
It's official! DT Ufomba Kamalu (Fayetteville, Ga.) has faxed in his NLI. #WelcomeToTheU! STOPUM to end. Msg & data rates may apply.
Posted by: 360Cane | February 06, 2013 at 08:55 AM
How's it hanging CanesFam? I'm just counting down till 9am like the rest of us.
Re: Canes coming back on the defensive side of the ball, don't forget about Jalen Grimble, a highly recruited prospect with good genes who will hopefully blossom next year.
Thanks for the updates everyone! Will be tuned in all day!
GO CANES!!!

True Dat!!!!!
Posted by: thirstybuzzardcane | February 06, 2013 at 08:56 AM
Chick cant be a bust when he's being double teamed most of the time becuase we have no DTS.....
Ohio will you be able to provide a live video feed of the matthew thomas selection?
Posted by: UpNorthCane27 | February 06, 2013 at 08:56 AM
Robinson's going to L$U. Already signed, as a previous poster said.
Posted by: LB | February 06, 2013 at 08:56 AM
I'm admittedly nervous about Thomas' announcement. Not as much about Kirkland...
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 08:56 AM
UpNorth, not online. It's on ESPNU though.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 08:57 AM
Ohio, was Bostwick one of your 5 silence? Please say no to make me feel better!!...LOL
Posted by: thirstybuzzardcane | February 06, 2013 at 08:58 AM
Seriously, everyone writing off all the people that are already committed and signed and faxed need to take a step back and look at that list...
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 08:59 AM
Ohio..are all 5 of the silents you mentioned still in play..or have we lost any you thought were silents?
Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 08:59 AM
Thirsty, no he wasn't.
Gus was one tho, so that makes me feel a little better.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 08:59 AM
That's what worries me. A big recruiting factor going against us could be No'D & the scheme he runs. As much as I love the "U". I wouldn't want my son playing for him...
Posted by: CoCane | February 06, 2013 at 09:00 AM
The SUPPOSED silents are all in play, including Gus who already signed.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 09:00 AM
Got a gut feeling that M6 is going to FSWho and we'll end up with Kirkland (seemed pretty bumed when his scolly got pulled).
Posted by: thirstybuzzardcane | February 06, 2013 at 09:01 AM
ALL current commits are officially signed and faxed in!
Now the waiting game...
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 09:01 AM
I guess everyone was just focusing on Chick all the time because they didn't have to worry about anybody else.
Posted by: thirstybuzzardcane | February 06, 2013 at 08:55 AM
LOL
Posted by: 360Cane | February 06, 2013 at 09:02 AM
Ok, folks... ALL committed #Canes are now signed and faxed in. Now, the waiting game for announcements throughout the day.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 09:02 AM
Thirsty..one would think that he wouldnt go through all that to get his offer back just to turn it down, but with the way Ice Harris has been scheming against Miami, he just might do it. I predict they both go to FSU
Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 09:03 AM
Anyoe has access to Ice Harris interview?
Posted by: Da U N Houston | February 06, 2013 at 09:03 AM
Stan-dish Dobard.
Posted by: LB | February 06, 2013 at 09:03 AM
Man I hope the remaining silents are Thomas, Kirkland, Bryant & Coley...

Bad sound, but here's another BTW feed
Posted by: kenyon19ypr | February 06, 2013 at 09:05 AM
I think this is the live feed for Kirkland and Thomas.. http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/_/id/758262/
Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 09:05 AM
The U bout to wreck shop
Posted by: myndraize | February 06, 2013 at 09:06 AM
FWIW..ESPN schedule has Kirkland choosing between FSU & Arkanasa
Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 09:07 AM
Then again...they dont have FSU as an option for Thomas neither lol
Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 09:07 AM
UMike- They didn't have FSU for Thomas earlier. Means nothing.
Posted by: kenyon19ypr | February 06, 2013 at 09:08 AM
Did Robinson & Powell announce?
Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 09:09 AM
Live feed es no bueno....
Posted by: Da U N Houston | February 06, 2013 at 09:09 AM
Hopefully Bostwick is another Jeff Luc. As a Martin County resident (St. Lucie county just north of me)the teams aren't very good around here, so Bostwick's competition really stunk!!!
Posted by: thirstybuzzardcane | February 06, 2013 at 09:10 AM
Da U..I got that off another board..didnt try it..my bad
Posted by: UMike | February 06, 2013 at 09:10 AM
I call MT6 for Miami.
Posted by: CaneRock | February 06, 2013 at 09:11 AM
Hurricanesports doing a live feed....just showed the coached in the "war room" waiting for Thomas.
Posted by: pbcfrcane13 | February 06, 2013 at 09:11 AM
You good....hopefully your predictions are wrong too lol lol
Thanks brah
Posted by: Da U N Houston | February 06, 2013 at 09:11 AM
Correction: Devante Bond's NLI isn't in yet. He couldn't sign until now because he's on the West Coast
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | February 06, 2013 at 09:11 AM
A combo of Liner and Bryant would be dam good
Posted by: myndraize | February 06, 2013 at 09:11 AM
Why does 3 Mile Island keep popping in my head.
