Well another exciting and action packed National Signing Day (NSD) has come and gone marking the starting point of another college football season.
The seemingly endless list of bowl games and the one BCS title game finally ended in early January signaling the end of the 2012 season. But it is always the first Wednesday in February that marks the beginning of a new year filled with high hopes and higher expectations.
After spending all day on the Internet, reading over 900 comments from some of the 18,000 people who visited Canespace today and watching all of ESPN's coverage of the day's happenings, I do not have time to do a detailed analysis or critique of each player in this class that signed a NLI with UM.
But now that another NSD is in the books, I thought we would just take a quick look at today's catch for UM head coach Al Golden and his Miami Hurricanes.
University of Miami NSD 2013 Class:
Stacy Coley, WR, Oakland Park Northeast High, 6-1, 173
Jermaine Grace, LB, Miramar High, 6-1, 210
Augustus Edwards, FB, Staten Island (N.Y.), 6-2, 230
Sunny Odogwu, OT, Hargrave Military (Va.), 6-8, 311
Beau Sandland, TE, Los Angeles Pierce College, 6-6, 255
Artie Burns, S, Miami Northwestern, 6-0, 183
Alquadin Muhammad, DE, Bosco Prep (N.J.), 6-3, 230
Kevin Olsen, QB, Wayne Hills, N.J., 6-3, 200
Jamal Carter, S, Miami Southridge, 6-1, 190
Standish Dobard, TE, New Orleans Edna Karr, 6-4, 255
Ufomba Kamalu, DT, Butler CC (Kan.), 6-5, 280
Alex Gall, OT, Cincinnati Moeller, 6-6, 280
Hunter Knighton, DT, Princeton Hun School, 6-5, 265
Alex Figueroa, DE, Fork Union (Va.), 6-3, 225
Ray Lewis III, RB, Lake Mary Prep, Fla., 5-9, 190
Devante Bond, Sierra College (Calif.), 6-3, 230
Now, 'Canes fans can spend their time celebrating or brooding over the NSD 2013 results and wait patiently for Spring practice to start sometime in March. Until then we start preparing another college football season and maybe even begin looking ahead to NSD 2014.
And maybe for a few big, mean and nasty defensive tackles to show up?
The Coach Bitch slapped Sileo on the radio

Bad Journalism. There is no ties, drugs are all over sports but one of our coaches get 400 bucks worth of some stuff to enhance himself is not going to make him a supplier to the MLB, the article says over 100 of our players have played in the MLB but of course only a couple have tested for drugs, one was exonerated. A-Rod never played for us.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- So far in Al Golden's tenure, Miami's football program has voluntarily forfeited the right to appear in two bowl games, along with one trip to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game, up to 30 practices and an undisclosed number of scholarships in response to an unbelievably long NCAA investigation.
The Hurricanes' coach sounds like he's had enough.

"There's going to be a lot of people who didn't stand with us who are going to be remembered for not standing with us," Golden said.

That interview was great, spread that. The local coaches Love Coach Golden and I do not care what Luke says. It is clear they know what is going on, once the NCAA is over soon we will dominate.

The Herb might bitch & moan, but he luvs Da U. Bama Was my team from the late 6o's until 82 and then it's been nothing but O&G ever since. I want us back where Bama's at. 11 years is a long time to be eating sum humble pie. The NCAA hates us to begin with and I knew they were going to slow bleed us. 3 straight classes have bee altered because of those bumbling morons. We ought to be the ones filing suit, for right of due process. Since they screwed up, if I was Donna, I'd tell them we've served 3 years of this BS, and we ain't giving you another thing, take it or leave it!

I know I have been quite vocal in my defense of the current coaching staff.Even though I have faith in "The Gold Don" I will be all for pulling the plug on Coach Dno if his defense does not show vast iprovement this year.
