Thirty-six student-athletes from nine sports graduated from the University of Miami during Spring Commencement exercises held Thursday and Friday at BankUnited Center. In addition to the 36 graduates, several student-athletes that had already graduated or will graduate in the Summer also participated in the Commencement ceremonies.

“Today will celebrate the most
important day in college sports, graduation day!” Associate AD for Academic
Services David Wyman said. “Congratulations to all of our student-athletes, who
have completed their studies, and are now ready to change the world. We salute
you and your families.”
Trey

Only way UM doesn't get to ACC tourney is if Canes are swept by G-Tech & either Wake Forest (V-Tech) or Duke (NC State) sweep this weekend.

Coach L is laying a complete goose egg on the recruiting trail after the highest profile season in hurricane history while the Seminoles are about to pick up the #1 player in the country - Wiggins. The future of canes bball is not promising. Soon the BUC will return to being the venue people only show up to watch commencement.

Looking to keep the momentum going from their historic ACC championship run, the Miami Hurricanes infused talent, size and experience into their lineup Tuesday.
Coach Jim Larranaga announced the addition of dual-sport athletes Cornelius Elder and Derrick Griffin, as well as the signings of James Kelly, Manu LeComte, Angel Rodriguez.

Good day folks. Making the ACC torunament isn't what I typically worry about this time of year! But it is what it is, finish strong guys.

I will admit I haven't been paying attention to Basketball recruiting, but last I recall, (tourny time) Coach L was putting together the best class Miami ever had. There was talk about S. Beach and the DWade/LeBron effect and that Miami was going to clean up. What happened?
Posted by: The Dude | May 14, 2013 at 03:08 PM
How bad can the bball team be next year? After this last run what are the expectations? What's a successful season next year?
