University of Miami juniors George Iskenderian and David Thompson were among those players recognized with NCBWA All-America first-team honors, the organization announced Wednesday.
The honor was the first of Iskenderian's career and the second for Thompson, who was named a Louisville Slugger All-American by collegiate Baseball Newspaper in late May.
A native of Englewood Cliffs, N.J., Iskenderian became just the second Hurricane to ever capture the ACC’s batting title, finishing the regular season with a .391 batting average to rank No. 1 in the league. He also led the ACC in both total hits (81) and runs scored (61) in the regular season, and ranked third in steals (22) and on-base percentage (.482) over the same timeframe.
Iskenderian was selected in the seventh round of the 2015 MLB Draft by Milwaukee Tuesday.
A junior from Miami, Fla., Thompson earned first-team All-ACC accolades by the league’s coaches after a dominant season in the middle of Miami’s offense. The nation’s RBI leader (87) and tied for the national home run lead (19), Thompson was a critical member of a Miami offense that finished the regular season ranked first nationally in runs scored and runs per game.
Thompson was selected in the fourth round of the 2015 MLB Draft by New York Tuesday.
Good recognition for the baseball program.

3) Duke Johnson and Isaiah Crowell lined up in the backfield together
With quarterback Josh McCown standing tall in the shotgun formation, Johnson and Crowell flanked both of his sides. McCown sent Crowell in motion to the far right as a receiver, causing confusion among Cleveland’s linebackers. McCown hiked the ball, faked a pass toward Crowell and, instead, dumped it off on a screen play to Johnson, who bolted into the end zone for a touchdown.
The play design was complex, but the combination of Crowell and Johnson on the field together was more intriguing. Crowell’s powerful stride and bruising style combined with Johnson’s shiftiness and burst is a mixture that screams potential.

Riley Cole, linebacker from Oneonta High School in Ala., jumped immediately on the opportunity presented Thursday afternoon when ________ extended an offer from the University of _______.
"Coach ________ had me call him," Cole said. "I talked to Coach _______. He said he wanted to offer me a scholarship. I committed right then.
"He said they really enjoyed me coming to camp. They really liked how I played. They really like my film. He said I can play for them, and he wanted to offer me. I committed right then."
Cole was a standout at _______'s camp last week which caught the attention of the entire coaching staff.
"It was a dream come true," Cole said about the offer. "I was speechless. I told him I really appreciated it. I told him I wanted to commit. I am going to go back down tomorrow and hang out.
"They have a heck of a resume. I really like Coach ________. I like the way he teaches things. I really want him to be my coach. I really like their coaches. I like the way they coach. I really think I can fit in there with the way they run their defense."
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound prospect has the support of his family regarding the commitment to the Crimson Tide.
"My family is behind me 100-percent," Cole said. "I have been talking about it the past few days. We figured Bama was going to offer. We think it's the best opportunity for me to go there."
Cole also has offers from Jacksonville State and Wake Forest. He received rave reviews from the ________ coaching staff and other coaches in attendance following his camp performance last week in ________.

@flasportsbuzz: From our David Furones, an odd recruiting story involving UM: http://t.co/NsChTMBWXN
Posted by: Go Canes | June 12, 2015 at 03:58 PM
The word at the CWS is that the balls are carrying well, and the long ball may be factor in the series. If so, I like the team that led the nation in scoring, and also has some speed in the outfield. (In the event you're unaware, that's The U) Things may change by Saturday, but gorilla ball favors the Canes this year.
Glad to be back, 86. With college baseball's post season in full bloom, needed to chat with some of the diamond faithful on the Space. Where r all the baseball spacers these days?

FU has been doing a lot of longball hitting lately, too. The freshman, JJ Schwartz, from Palm Beach Gardens HS has been knocking the crap out of it lately. Hope Suarez has his A game going and leaves Gator hitters guessing all night!
Interesting story in the PB Post about Suarez and his girlfriend, soccer player at UM, whose family is from Omaha. This should help get at least a few UM fans into the stands!

Jim Morris looks so pathetic and maybe he should be pushed to retire. Hard to believe this is the same team that played so well during this year.

you might be right...we havent been at the cws since 2008 and not we get here and lay an egg...maybe we need to shake it up
Posted by: mi@mic@ne | June 13, 2015 at 10:52 PM
Left too many runner stranded in the first few innings. It was as if, they were waiting on the perfect pitch, while the perfect pitch was going right by em'.
