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.

Lurker...question. Would you let Wade (to Cleveland) walk if it meant replacing him with Love?
Posted by: TonyCane | June 17, 2015 at 12:49 PM
Actually Wade is at the end of his pro career, much as I love and appreciate what he's done for the Heat. Love has bigger upside for the future, because he's younger, but he's also injury prone, and I don't know how hard he is on the inside, if you know what I mean. There's no question about the heart and hardness of D Wade.
Also it's not a question of letting D Wade go anywhere, it's if whether he will accept the type of money Riley wants to give him or not. Then it's his choice to go wherever he wants, but in Cleveland he's not going to get anywhere near what Riley would offer, because of the cap, so he's looking at minimum or close to minimum money in Cleveland right now, and supposedly it's going to be very hard if not impossible for them to make cap space to pay him more.
So to answer your question if I knew that Wade was going to be good for about 70% of the games, I'd still keep him. Especially at a reduced rate. I just don't know what Love has to offer. He has gaudy statistics from his time in Minnesota but can he go balls to the wall like Wade.
Posted by: Lur-ker | June 17, 2015 at 03:32 PM
Don't know about max money, but Wade deserves His. Carried the team to their 1st 'Ship...orchestrated the Big 3 of Him,Ray Allen, & Chris Bosh coming together...PAY DAT' MAN!
Posted by: CaneRock | June 17, 2015 at 03:27 PM
I cannot see paying Wade 12 mil a year for 17 ppg.
He has been a fine player but that's too much.
Enjoyed the games.....but lets get on to the game of games football. We are doing fundamentals and riding bikes....very hot so we are very careful. We train to go 8 quarters to be in shape....and be fundamentally sound. ...trademark. We have some serious speed and talent....fundamentals matter most. Ready for a breakout year for AlPa and Co...really need to go for it. Steele does like us...might be a little high at 21....but fast start and strong fundamentals and win couple big games and we can take off and compete. Go Canes!

doubt Wade is getting on the phone with Riley anytime soon. $36M for 3 years is the right money but not as Wade sees it.
Cavs without Irving and Love were about as bad as I've seen in the finals. James was a 1 man team.

TonyCane...Miami could've actually drafted Love or Westbrook in 2008...drafted Beasley instead SMDH! The 2010 lineup could've consisted of Wade,James,Bosh,Love or Westbrook...and Westbrook or Love would've still been on their rookie contracts.

The hitting especially needs to be there in clutch situations. Thankfully Heyward was playing vs. Arkansas, or the season would have been done. The top of the order was great all season long. Hope they come back to form tonight.
Posted by: JCane | June 17, 2015 at 12:21 PM
CWS has seen an awful lot of great pitching without a lot of hitting displays thus far, except maybe for the first FU-UM game. UM's pitching hasn't exactly been lights out or consistent, dodging the bullet a few times vs. Arkansas. We need to see better pitching and hitting, although I suppose every baseball team needs this, to continue to advance.

Posted by: Ohio_Cane | June 17, 2015 at 12:18 PM
I hear ya, CR, but look back at Love's entire season with Cleveland. They were having a hell of a hard time trying to find how he actually fit in the offense, and the defense. Plus he is a huge liability on defense. He can rebound, but is otherwise a defensive liability.
Love is the type of player that can thrive, but it has to be in a specific offense geared to his strengths and weaknesses. When he was THE man in Minnesota he had outrageous almost-MVP type numbers. Gets to Cleveland and has a hard time fitting in.
Proof is in this pudding: supposedly Bron and Cleveland can take him or leave him now, especially if he wants max, or close to max, money. That sure doesn't sound like somebody that would've made that huge of a difference. Not to me, anyway.

Lurker...agree with you on LBJ trying to play the coach & GM.
But I have to disagree with you on Love...if He plays, I think it's a different series. IMO, He was the one player that could pace their offense, much like Bosh & Wade did in Miami.
Posted by: CaneRock | June 17, 2015 at 11:59 AM
Cavs would've won this series 4-1 or 4-2 if Love and Kyrie were healthy. No question about it.

LOL no! There is plenty of question about it, some might even think it's delusional to think that.
Don't do it, don't be a part of the excuse machine for LeBron.
I know Cleveland is your team, and LeBron is your boy, but don't fall for the hype.
Kyrie and Love are not even half the combination of the player Wade was or is, even with Wade injured and not playing all the time. I still say the Warriors win the series with Tyree and with Love playing, but it might have taken seven games.
Did you see Lebron quit last night? Is that a championship mentality? The only reason he has his two rings is because of his supporting cast at Miami. LeBron doesn't get his two rings without Riley, DWade, and the supporting cast in Miami, just like Miami doesn't get the those two rings without LeBron.
But thanks for helping getting us those two rings Bron.
Good luck sniffing another championship, LeBron.
I predict the rest of his career will be a long string of failed player acquisitions, players coming and going, trying to find just the right combination, coaches coming and going, just like Blatt is going to be leaving this season.
LeBron wants to be not only the best player in the world, but the coach and general manager as well. It won't work. He had what he needed at Miami with Riley, and he walked away.

Down 10-11 points with two minutes left, a margin that can and has been overcome in the MBA any ties in the past, LeBron and Cleveland flat-out quit and just didn't even bother to play anymore. Bunch of quitters.
It really hurt them, because then JR Smith started getting hot on threes and they got a whole lot closer i in the last two minutes . That's why you never quit. Ever. Bunch of sorry quitters.

Vandy finds a way to win on a HR yet again, taking a 1-0 victory away from the last of the seeded teams that hadn't lost, TCU. Vandy pulled this one out by way of all of 3 hits. Wow. Last year's champs are proving tough to beat in this CWS. TCU and LSU will play for the right to then have to take two in a row from Vandy.

Posted by: Lur-ker | June 16, 2015 at 10:06 PM
Second team in the CWS goes home today in CSF, my darkhorse pick to make the final. Nobody wants to be picked by me....kiss of death. LSU stays alive in the elimination (aka loser) bracket.
TCU and Vandy are in the bottom of the 5th still knotted at 0, and Vandy hasn't gotten a hit yet. Since nobody has scored, the no-hitter doesn't matter a whole bunch yet. The winner of this game would be one win away from the championship series, as is UVa. Hard to believe a team that was 0 for the ACC tnmt. is playing so unbelievably well. UVa also played UM tough during the season, winning their home series. Let's hope we get to worry about this by sending the turds home in the rematch.
Articles a few days ago were all about UF wanting to be state champions by beating UM after having beaten all of the other FL schools in the regional and then superregional. I guess the did. However, if the state champs from Gainesville lose tomorrow, I guess it would mean they'd be back in their home state shortly after to enjoy! Allons-y, Canes!....if Monty were still around, he'd tell us that's let's go in French.
Golden State is putting it to the Cavs so far tonight.

LBJ ducks that shoulder bulls by and into people like Jim Brown. ...but if he misses he wants a call ....every time. He has gotten like whiny Jordan....who thought everyone was trying to end his career. ..they are great...but I like some physical play on both sides.

Pitching has been a bit of an adventure, but the U managed to not give up the worst case scenario hits last night, as happened in the CWS opener.
For those complaining about the U not necessarily playing their best, I can imagine highly rated teams like UCLA and Louisville wish they were in the U's position right now (ie still playing). FWIW, the highest seeded team in the CWS, LSU, lost its opener, too. Of the 4 seeded teams, only one hasn't lost yet, although TCU hasn't played game 2 yet either. I still don't like how teams get bracketed based on the original seed in the regionals. Why would the 4 highest seeds have to open with each other, as happened? Okay, time to work.
Posted by: JCane | June 16, 2015 at 08:05 AM

I had a few day break, and although watching Cane baseball, also took the mandatory break the blog and the internet in general. 86 wouldn't understand these things though!
The problem since the post-season has been consistent and timely hitting. Fortunately, they had one player tonight with timely hitting in Heyward. They didn't get many hits on the night, and Arkansas committed a bunch of errors, but at least they found a way to win and buy themselves more time to get the hitters comfortable. I have a hard time seeing UVa beating FU, but UVa has been playing good ball, and who knows. Canes get the loser of the game, and the winner of this has to then beat tonight's winner twice to advance. Funny how I am almost as happy when FU loses as when the U wins.
Vandy had quite the 9th inning comeback win over CSF with the 3 run shot to take the game 4-3.

I won't disagree that he's a top 3-5 player all time, and still has time to maybe be the best ever. Depends what does the next 3 to 5 years.
I do not like the way he left, because I believe he was planning to leave all along, and I don't believe in disrespecting someone like Pat Riley and the whole team by stringing them along, when he had known he was leaving for weeks or at least a month or more, leaving the Heat stuck in the free agency market.
Having said that, I'm grateful for the two championships, but without D Wade, Bosh and other role players, we all have to remember he wouldn't have won it by himself either.
The only criticism I have is it I think he thought he could do the same thing in Cleveland, but he's not going to, he needs another superstar on his team and some excellent role players. He's having to do it all himself. Now are love and Kyrie the answers. I don't think so. They're both injury prone, Kyrie is nowhere near the caliber of superstar that D Wade is/was, and to me Love is kind of soft.
He better find himself a reliable superstar to play with in Cleveland, or this series might be the best shot he ever gets over there to win a ship for the mistake by the lake. Doing it by yourself has it's limits, and you're seeing that in this series.
You have to remember, without LeBron, Cleveland is just a big clown show. They proved it when he wasn't there.

LMAO! I'll stand behind what I said earlier.
I'll add that it's a marathon not a 40yd dash... plus somewhat of what Go Canes said ^^^^^^

To me the dude is just gassed by the end of the game. He's driving and missing what by his standards are basically gimmes.
No human being can expend that much energy without paying for it down the stretch.
Didn't want him to win because of the way he bailed here, but LBJ really is one of the top 3-5 players to ever put on a jersey.
His game is one to marvel at. It's beautiful to watch.

Breaking news Cane bUbba's. The NCAA has declared that the suspended TINY Cal.St. Fullerton vs. Commodore game will start at 3:00 EST, and Miami's game with Arkansas will START at approximately 5:15 EST.
So I guess the ground crews at Ameritus park must be of the Major League level, to keep the SOGGY, rain drenched field relatively dry and what not.
All games will still be televised by ESPN-2.
Well, the good thing about these rain delays is y'all Miami bUbba's will be able to watch most of the game once y'all arrive home from work and what not.

RE: The juvenile delinquency of Gator, FSU, and SEC ball players. As well as other programs such as Ohio. St, USC, Penn. St., Nebraska ( Back in the day, for instance. ) and others.
Well, it's an INSIGNIFICANT matter and what not. Simply because us in the MOMENT, REALISTIC folks, NORTH and WEST of the Mason Dixon line, KNOW the deep south is RAMPANT with CORRUPTION of the legal sort. Always has been and always will be. ENTER the tainted Florida voting matters concerning the USA Presidential election many, many, many, many, many moons ago.
In other words, it's a GOOD OL' BOY system when it comes to college football.
Chit, W-H-Y do U believe Miami, Florida Hurricane football has ALWAYS been a SCAPEGOAT in the eyes of the NCAA and the rest of major college football. Duh!!!!

Being a wagering degenerate. I don't believe the Hurricanes will face Arkansas this afternoon.
Matter of fact, it's been raining off and on all morning in the Herbie HAYSEED hinterlands. The rains have been light to HEAVY torrential downpours.
Oh. One more thing. My adopted home team, TINY Cal. St.-Fullerton, game with Vanderbilt is on hold this morning. The game was suspended from Sunday because of heavy rains in Omaha. The TINY Titans have a 3-0 lead over the defending NCAA Champions.
So if the Vandy vs. Titan game isn't completed today, then Miami's game will probably be postponed until Wednesday morning.
12:00 EST TINY Cal. St.-Fullerton vs. Vanderbilt, ESPN-2
3:00 EST Canes vs. Arkansas, ESPN-2
8:00 EST Florida vs. Virginia, ESPN-2

Today's game won't start until game from last night, delayed by weather, is completed.
