Behind its award-winning #BuildingChampions campaign,
the University of Miami’s Hurricane Club has surpassed its 2012 membership
total, eclipsing more than 5,600 active
members.
The Hurricane Club is on pace to reach
over 6,000 active Hurricane Club members in 2013, which will set an all-time
record for UM Athletic annual support. The Hurricane Club has also added 1,500
new members for the 2013 calendar year.
“The continued
growth and success of our athletics program is directly related to the resources
provided to our student-athletes and
coaches in their efforts to achieve excellence,” Miami AD Blake James (seen above at the event in Orlando at Panama Jack's) said.
“For
the Hurricane Club to reach 6,000 active members is a tribute to every member of
the Hurricanes Family. Together we are Building
Champions!”
After record-setting new membership numbers so far this
year, the Hurricane Club is well on target to hit the 3 year goal of 7,500 active
members by 2015.
“We want to continue to grow our membership base,” said
Jesse Marks, Associate AD for Development (seen above). “The Hurricane Club’s expansion both
locally and nationally in scope is a testament to the tremendous work done by
our current Hurricane Club members and our staff.”

I'm hoping Grimble steps up too. Problem is, I haven't heard anything about him all off season. Positive or negative. It's as if he doesn't exist. (shruggs)
Hey Spacers! Man a few things worry me and something needs to be done...Quincy Wilson is trying to destroy UM with other recruits...hes all on Twitter just bashing UM because he doesn't have an offer and his father dnt do anything to diffuse the situation..I think UM coaches and U school coaches need to have a sit down an hash out any differences there might be..it really concerns me and hopefully it gets resolved if UM and Booker T can work things out, I'm sure they can

Let's just saaaaay...the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree on this one.
CR, that's part of it too. They would've evaluated him at CB tho if he came to camp. Them just going by film, they think he's better at Safety. He doesn't wanna play safety
• Harris Sr., who was furious with UM coaches in February when he said they pulled their scholarship offer to former offensive tackle Denver Kirkland, said the relationship between his program and the Hurricanes is solid and will “continue to get better, keep growing.”
“I had an opportunity to talk to the coaches at Miami last night [when Treon committed],” Harris Sr. said. “If Miami was a school that was recruiting Treon as a QB the world may not know what happened. But under the circumstances that’s not the case.
“We still got guys in the recruiting process with Miami as well. We’re still going to have Canes here at Booker T. Washington. The biggest thing is what fits the kid best.”
Three Brooks County High School football players were killed Tuesday morning when their car hit a tree near their southeast Georgia school.
A fourth football player was flown to a local hospital where he is in critical condition, school officials said in a press release.
The dead students were identified as rising seniors Jicarre Watkins and Shawn Waters and rising junior Johnnie Parker.
De’vron Whitfield, a rising junior, was ejected from the car and is in critical condition at Shands Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida.
The teens were driving to a morning football practice when the driver lost control of the car, causing it to veer off Webster Road and hit a tree near Brooks County High School, outside the Quitman city limits, around 9:30 a.m. Quitman is located about 20 miles west of Valdosta in south Georgia.
It is unclear at this time which student was driving.
Brooks County High’s football team finished 12-1 last season and won region 1-AA. The season was highlighted by a 28-24 upset victory over Valdosta High School and the first 10-0 season in Brooks County High School’s history, which dates back to 1959.
Watkins was a first team all-region defensive lineman in Region 1-AA.
The school cancelled the school board meeting scheduled for Tuesday night and announced that counselors will be available to help students and staff.

Whoever mentioned Austin Roberts, Ohio St is the favorite right now. We're a close 2nd with him. Gave up on USC for whatever reason.

I like all those mentioned in response to LB's request, but we are all forgeting about David Gilbert. If he can stay healthy, he will play a lot.

There could be a shining reason why Quincy doesn't have an offer ... Not a man, yet.

I'm not convinced UM and BTW have things worked out. It's pretty evident Ice has an agenda against UM or is trying to get a job with FSU
Posted by: Texcane | July 10, 2013 at 06:52 PM
So what if Ice or Quincy or anyone else talking ish. Keep Calm and Carry On. Coach Golden and company got everything under control.
Posted by: Terrance Sullivan | July 10, 2013 at 07:27 PM
Quincy is a child who is trying to "take his ball and go home".
It's simple:
Staff wanted him to come to camp to see him live, and then they would probably offer.
Quincy said "uh no, I'm so good U don't need to see me live. Offer me or I'm not coming to your school"
Staff said "no camp, no offer. Sorry"
Now Quincy is crying like a little 5 year old who didn't get all the ice cream flavors he wanted.

I thought it was because He wanted to play CB, but the staff thought He was a Safety at the next level...
