About the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame (UMSHoF)
Nestled on the Coral Gables campus of the University of Miami, the UMSHoF is a 501(c)(3) corporation whose sole purpose is to recognize those student athletes, coaches and administrators who have contributed the most to Hurricanes Athletics over the years. The showcase for the UMSHoF and repository of the great sports traditions of the University of Miami is the Tom Kearns Sports Hall of Fame Building, next door to the Hecht Athletic Center on San Amaro Drive.
PS - It's been rumored that wherever Gresham plays, his best friend Demetrius Knox will follow. Knox is the #1 rated Guard in the country.
Would have an OL haul for the ages with Knox added in.

Interesting post from a blogger at CIS..
With UK and Ole Miss, we've reached a new low
The nSECaa has become so autonomous that we have now experienced the impossible: historically terrible programs, on the levels of Duke, are now out recruiting powerhouse programs from other conferences.
The greatest influence for where kids play is how much they can get paid.
That UK and Ole Miss are beating us for kids is an absolute disgrace. And I dont mean on AGs part, theres nothing he can do.
If the boosters get behind a coach, and the team is allowed to break rules at will, they will recruit well. Facilities, wins, education, NONE of it matters. Mark Stoops isn't coming up with some pitch that hasn't been tried for a dozen years, yet suddenly he is out recruiting OSU in Ohio!
Our program can never come back as long as this type of garbage is allowed.

I PERSONALLY think the SEC recruiting has more to do with the Media hype that money.

The NCAA contends its enforcement process “will be substantially prejudiced by public disclosure” of currently sealed documents in former USC assistant Todd McNair's lawsuit against the association.
The NCAA's argument appears in its 71-page reply to opposition of their motion to seal filed last week in McNair's increasingly contentious defamation lawsuit. McNair and his attorneys are seeking to unseal those documents that appear to show improper involvement by the NCAA staff in the USC case that concluded three years ago.
Since then, McNair has sued the NCAA seeking to clear his name after receiving a one-year show cause penalty in that USC case. Since the June 2010 announcement of the USC penalties, McNair -- a former NFL running back and Temple star -- has not been able to find work in football. His lawyers are trying to show the association violated its own rules and procedures in investigating their client.
In its latest filing Wednesday in California appellate court, the NCAA makes a wide-ranging case why the documents should remain sealed. Central to their argument is that disclosure of the information would compromise the investigative process. It is a time-worn tactic used by the NCAA, one that doesn't hold much weight considering the challenge to the system in the Florida State case.

Save the recruiters (Duke, Dobard, McDermott, Kaaya), it's hard to invest until NSD. However, it matters on a level of momentum. Good momentum on defense is important, as it projects positively on the program.
--------
The only way we break the trend of $EC is to win. That is UM's only course, and winning a bowl game is going to help a BUNCH in that department.
Posted by: LB | June 24, 2013 at 10:43 AM
It also looks really good on the program as it's a methodology of "best get on board now" as it comes from a position of strength.
Posted by: LB | June 24, 2013 at 10:49 AM
Especially if that bowl game is against the $EC
Posted by: Brevardcane | June 24, 2013 at 10:50 AM
Our biggest win this year that will be dramatic on the recruiting front is vs UiF. End of story.
We beat an $EC team and watch the recruits flow in.

Especially since we battle them for so many recruits every year...since we wont play for a while we can hold onto that win and use it as a tool
