The University of Miami swimming and diving program will send six strong representatives to Russia for the 16th annual FINA World Championships beginning July 24.
More than 2,500 athletes from 186 countries are slated to compete at the World Championships, including 2015 NCAA national champion diver Sam Dorman (USA), recently graduated swimmer Heather Arseth, incoming Hurricanes diver David Dinsmore (USA) and incoming swimmer Roxanne Yu.
Head swimming coach Andy Kershaw will serve as Team USA head manager for the second time in his career, while diving coach Randy Ableman will serve on the Team USA staff.
“I’m very excited for our representation there as a whole – Randy is one of our diving coaches and one of, if not the, top diving coach in the world, in my point of view. Personally, I’m super excited to be given this opportunity again, now as a Hurricane,” Kershaw said. “I got to serve as head manager for the 2011 World Championships, and the 2012 USA Olympic team, but this is going to be my first opportunity with the ‘U’ on my chest underneath the USA, which will be fun.”
Arseth is no stranger to the international scene, having competed in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London for Mauritius. A freestyle specialist, Heather served as one of Miami’s top point-getters during her two seasons with the Hurricanes.
“Heather will be traveling to Kazan on the second day, and then flies to Réunion Island right from Worlds to compete in the Indian Ocean Island Games,” Kershaw said. “I’m excited to get to watch her perform.”
Dorman, an Olympic hopeful who capped a stellar undergraduate career with a national championship in the 3-meter, will be making his second appearance in the Worlds; he finished fourth in synchro 3-meter and 10th in 1-meter at the 2013 World University Games, also held in Kazan.
He will team with Kristian Ipsen of Stanford in the synchro 3-meter.
"I'm changing to adapt to his style," Dorman told The Arizona Republic. "We keep chipping away at everything we need to do."
Dinsmore, a promising freshman with international experience who will help replace Dorman, will be making his Worlds debut in Kazan.
“For him to be competing at Worlds this summer means he’s one of the top two Americans in the platform at this point,” Ableman said. “He’s already accomplished quite a bit, and he has a lot of development ahead of him, as far as his springboard goes.
“He should be one of the best in college diving in the 10-meter as a freshman.”
Lowest Miami has held GT-triple option in both scoring and yards is 2011. Held them to 7 pts and 211 yds.
2009 team held them to 17 pts, 228 yds

But besides scheme, I think you have to match their personnel, IF you have that luxury. Seems to me that our smaller & quicker line-ups did better against it.

Go Canes
We basically pitch a shutout on the road at Va Tech and there was concern?
Lol.
Posted by: Go Canes | July 22, 2015 at 02:23 PM
Well founded concern, considering how the season ended...we went 3-7 vs power 5.
The lickers watch a game for the result. There isn't any analysis necessary. We win or we lose, then onto the next one. No second guessing. No wondering how or why. No concern for the how's ot whys. Each game, each season really, is an independent trial. For the lickers the fun is in the result, next week doesn't matter nor does last week.
The haters watch the game and want to know why X happened. Or why X didn't happen. They want reasons. They want to identify a cause and correct the cause. The fun is in the dissection of the game almost as much as it is the result.
No making judgements, just different personality types I suppose.

Not sure, but it would be more interesting too see the correlation between ypp and alignment. Especially if we looked at multiple games.
Is your argument that they do not play off the ball?
Posted by: 1mg of Epi | July 22, 2015 at 02:45 PM
One thing that gives me concern with D'Onofrio, is He seems to have a short fuse. That might be a good trait to have as a position coach, but maybe not so much as a DC.

TCU, Baylor doing more with less
" Baylor and TCU both ranked in the top 6 of the final College Football Playoff rankings, despite neither having a single top-20 recruiting class in the last 5 years. Baylor's best ranking was 22nd in 2014 and TCU's best was 37th in 2015. " ESPN.com
############
On the other hand. Under Golden, Miami has had THREE Top 12 recruiting classes ( One class was ranked NO. 9, I believe. ) and the Hurricane's finish 6-7 in Golden's FOURTH season. SMH
Oh. One more thing to ponder. In Golden's fourth season, the Hurricanes have the LONGEST LOSING streak ( 4 games ) since the 1976 campaign. Go figure. Chit, even that Onion Head never had that many losses in consecutive weeks.

---------------------------------------------------
What do you take into account as "alignment"? Is it corners pressing vs zone? Is it 3 rushers vs 4+? Is it the tackles running a 2 gap vs 1 gap? Is it whether or not a LB or safety blitz? Can be many combinations of all, in one play.
FYI - During the second half (31-62), we blitzed a LB or safety 16 of the 31 times, so roughly 51%. While in the first half, it was 18 out of 31 times, or 58% So in reality, it was almost the same for both.
Zero argument that we play or dont play off the ball from me. I don't say "all we do is this, or all we do is that".
I BET its more interesting to see a correlation of something else, maybe that will fit the agenda.

I never said "all this" or "all that". Did you see me post that somewhere? The fact that I'm comparing 1st vs 2nd halves should've made that point clear.
If we're talking about alignments, then yes, it would be interesting to see specifically what results a defense yields.
58% of plays are in a prevent? No. That doesn't sound like a good idea.
Why so testy? We're talking about a child's game. Relax.
Posted by: 1mg of Epi | July 22, 2015 at 03:16 PM
Let me rephrase that... Against a team that is moving the ball on ground,with an inept QB under center, where would you align the backs?
You said we BLITZED 58% of the time. That's good. We all like a well timed blitz. But that doesn't answer the question.
Posted by: 1mg of Epi | July 22, 2015 at 03:21 PM
By the way Go Canes, the question O asked was the same question the anonymous player said was asked.

TCU also gave up 33,58,27,30 and 30 in their WINS.
What would our record have been had we scored the kind of points they did in those games?
In five of our losses we scored 13, 17, 13, 23 and 21, not to mention 3 points in the second half of the FSU.
But forget about that. Quick, focus on the way we lined up against GT, that tells the REAL picture!
Posted by: Go Canes | July 22, 2015 at 03:35 PM
The bottom line is we lost 7 games last year, and the coaches didn't change a damn thing!! The best game I've seen this defense play was the Florida game in 2013....The D was flying around!!!
Posted by: thirstybuzzardcane | July 22, 2015 at 03:37 PM
AWWW LAWWD! I COULD copy and paste what YOU said. But based on recent conversations, I'm pretty sure some sort of "I know that's what I said, but what I really meant was blah blah blah" would follow.

First off GC, you keep bringing that play up. Maybe stop mentioning it. But if you do wanna keep discussing it how about reading the comments answer in why that one play was mentioned.
Second, who said the offense was acceptable? Coley did a poor job, receivers did a poor job, the QB was a freshman and the oline underperformed way too often.
If you like the defense last year if be interested to know why? Besides comparing the stats to historically bad performances the last couple years. Hyperventilating over O is just more of the smoke screens and distractions.

Is that ok with you? You keeping up? I'm happy to teach whenever possible.
Posted by: 30CINCO | July 22, 2015 at 04:15 PM
And ppfffsssttt....If we blitzed 58% of the time, that means 42% was not a blitz. 100%-58% = 42%. 42% is not the majority.
Just an FYI in case you see something similar in the future. Like I said, happy to teach whenever possible.

Yes I understand that u tried to bait me into saying the D was playing in the end zone 85% of the time so you could say "Gotcha!! They Blitzed 60% of the time!". I'm sorry I didn't step into your diabolical trap! It would've been sweet, that's for sure!
So let me axe you a question... If the LB blitzes, does that mean the backs will by default slide into a tight man?
Posted by: 1mg of Epi | July 22, 2015 at 04:27 PM
Sorry about that guys... "Slide into a tight man" ugh that was wrong

And thank you! I think I'm keeping up! But I do have a question. I'm sorry hopefully u can answer.... So, like, what is the difference between the instances above, and say a game where they don't look good?
Posted by: 1mg of Epi | July 22, 2015 at 04:34 PM
Darnit! You read my mind, you sly devil you!
If the LB blitzes, lots of things can happen. You can play cover 3, the corners can cover man or they can can be in a zone, or a combination of the 2. Meaning one corner can play man while the other is in a zone. You can even drop a DT into coverage while blitzing a LB.
Was that too much? ...but wait. Do you think dropping a DT into coverage is ok? Think anyone else does this "crazy" stunt?

Wait hold up!!!!!! Slow down!!!! In trying to keep up!!
Ok let me catch my breath....
Ok. Sorry. So, if the blintzes that they do so much. Like almost all the time, don't impact the depth, man vs zone, or gap assignments, then how does the fact that they do the blintz so often mean that they play soft, tight, man, zone or anything else?
Honestly friend, thank you. so. I guess my question is why did you say that the blintz volume made me wrong regarding how I saw the 1st vs 2nd half? I think I don't understand!
Can you help me??

--------------------------------------------
I sure can!!!
You see, usually, and I could be wrong, when a person says a "soft zone hybrid prevent" is always ran because it is a philosophy , that would be the exact opposite of a blitzing play. So if one says "soft zone hybrid prevent" was happening in the second half, then compared to the 1st half, a simple arithmitic formula displaying the similarites in a blitz package was presented in order to illustrate that is not that case, and your "opinion" is wrong, based on actual facts.
Posted by: 30CINCO | July 22, 2015 at 04:55 PM
But If the person uses the term "prevent" to describe the defenders keeping the ball in front of them, thus allowing a certain number of yards before touching the receiver; and then uses the term "hybrid" to indicate it's not a true prevent... Well then wouldn't that be acceptable?
I mean, u did just teach me that the blitz and defending the pass loosely aren't mutually exclusive? I think u did? Gosh I'm confused.
But if the blitz alone doesn't dictate anything else, and the term hybrid is used.. Oh jeez I need more words
Posted by: 1mg of Epi | July 22, 2015 at 05:13 PM
Oh oh wait!! I got it!! So you're saying that the hurricanes play an attacking, up the field style of defense!!!!
