Zack Attack!

Junior catcher Zack Collins was among those players recognized with first-team All-America honors from Baseball America, the publication announced Tuesday.

The selection of Collins to the first team by Baseball America marks the second straight season that a Hurricane has earned first-team honors; former third baseman David Thompson earned the distinction in 2015. Collins is the 16th Hurricane in history to earn Baseball America First-Team All-America honors, and the 10th under head coach Jim Morris.

Collins, a first-team All-ACC selection for the second straight year, delivered another dominant season both hitting and behind the plate in 2016. A finalist for the Johnny Bench Award honoring the nation’s top catcher, Collins is also a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award presented by USA Baseball and the Dick Howser Trophy, honoring the nation’s top collegiate player.

Collins has batted .358 for the season with team-leading totals of 13 home runs and 53 RBI. His 69 walks are tops amongst all players nationwide, while his .534 on-base percentage and .631 slugging percentage are also team highs and rank among the ACC’s best figures.

The Pembroke Pines native continued his ascent into the Miami record books with another prolific year, and currently ranks among the top 10 all-time in both home runs and RBI as a Hurricane.

His 38 career home runs are tied with Randy Guerra (1976-79) and Manny Crespo (1998-2000) for the eighth-most in Hurricane history, while his 177 career RBI are 10th-most. Collins’ 69 walks in 2016 are tied with Fiore (1988) for the fifth-most in a single season in Miami history.

Don't forget garbage time.

Although L can be creative in how he uses players. If he's a tough big body, and turns out to be a decent rebounder that can play some D, L will get him some minutes. But, yeah, I know, those are pretty big IF's

[Lur-ker]

But that wouldn't be this year anyway, because he has to sit. Maybe, and it's a big maybe, he can develop some during his year sitting and practicing

When tapping into the collective unconscious I can almost feel/see that happening and even repeated over and over again. I would like to think so anyway. It is a warm and comforting thought it COULD have happened that way and that it was discussed on Canespace all these years later.

If we believe there is anything out in the universe greater than ourselves, then maybe we should believe it did happen.

By the way.. The best blog in CS history was also the shortest lived.

Hey now, I do what I can while trying to stay on topic!

Patchan and Batten both saying they'll be ready for the fall.

Surprised about Patchan since this has been his second major knee injury. I thought his career was on the ropes, to be honest.

• UM would love 6-5 Lawrence Cager to seize one of the starting receiver jobs, and Mark Richt told him to study elite Cincinnati Bengals receiver AJ Green, who played for Richt at Georgia.

“He wants to see me be consistent and be a dominant big receiver,” Cager said.

Brad Kaaya is encouraged: "He got faster from last year."

[CaneRock]

Muhammad Ali on SoBe BITD. As you'll see in this video, Ali was universally loved...young...old...black...white...Latino...everybody. This is why He's the Greatest.

[CaneRock]

Before the Dolphins,Heat, & Hurricanes, Ali was Miami's first Champion.

[The Dude]

Cager can start with catching the f*cking ball. In fact all of our WRs sucked in the spring at simply catching the ball. Kaaya was dealing and there had to be a dozen flat out drops. Unacceptable. Pop Warner teams don't drop that many passes.

It was over anyway, but now it's REALLY over:

THIS JUST IN: Kevin Love has been informed that he won't be medically cleared to play Game 3. (via @ESPNSteinLine)

[TonyCane]

Read an interesting article this weekend talking about how the SEC and Big 10 will ultimately absorb the ACC and Big 12. The key cited was the conference networks, of which the ACC lacks. There was some dispute in the comments section of how profitable the SEC and Big 10 nets are.

Anyway, how likely do you think it is that the ACC will lose teams (i.e. Clemson and Florida State) to the SEC? Or is it more likely that the Big 12 ultimately implodes?

Personally I would love to see Texas in the ACC so I could go watch the Canes play them.

That's probably a good thing. The guy is too soft. I would like to see more of Mosgov. I think Cleveland wins tonight.

[CaneRock]

Don't know much about Love to call em' soft...but I will say, that spot on His head where He took that elbow, is no joke, that's a pressure point.

[CaneRock]

That's the same spot where Artest elbowed Harden, Harden was out for awhile after that, IIRC.

Ariz:

Player personnel department note

Quick note - some of you have asked about whether or not Miami will hire someone to replace Eric Josephs, who was the assistant director of player personnel under Golden. Larry Scott brought Josephs to Tennessee with him. I don't have a name yet, but I'm told that they will in fact be bringing someone in to fill his former role. No timetable on that yet, but it will happen. Good to see them making a commitment to this department because it makes a difference.

[The Dude]

I think Love out helps the Cavs.

[VA Cane]

Enjoyed your comments about Washington GC, you are spot on. I have a lot of military in my family, and I was very close to draft for Vietnam...thank God it ended. Nothing against Ali, but I seriously doubt his Muslim beliefs for not going to nam....he just did not want to die....58,000 deaths, 153,000 wounded...for what? A stupid political belief Domino theory....my daughter is marrying a soldier in the fall.....

Representative govt is dead; it does not work at all. These leaders, from Obama to Congress dont care about us....they steal our $ and do what is best for them. Strip away the labels and beliefs.. immigration, education,guns, abortion, gay rights, welfare,all the differences between the two groups of idiots....and see they all hob nob together and take care of each other....screw the people. The overstepping of washington of all things by all sides is sad.....the latest garbage about gender identity is just perversion.....

the death knell is sounding, and America the Beautiful is dying.....Rep Govt is dead, as is the constitution.....due to the so called leaders in both parties...but these forms never last due to the greed of leaders.....and we will become Amerika a dictatorship....I hate the Federal government and allits tentacles....its the worlds biggest social joke. The system is good....we have many bad people in the positions of power from both sides. Time to thorw them out starting with the WH.......get real people in govt!

LOL @ blaming Obama. You should be happy that Obama got elected, McCain & Romney would've been worse. Blame Bush, He took a projected surplus, and fuqed it up. And don't get me started on that $h!t hole they call Iraq, that illegal war is gonna end up costing $6T...that's trillion with a T!

And what about those pallets of money that we sent to Iraq that are still unaccounted for...$50B...that's billions with a B!

But yeah, keep blaming Obama for the dumpster fire He walked into.

Obama/Bush/Clinton... It makes no difference. They are advised by the same people and pretty much make the same bad decisions. So yea, Obama sucks. Bush sucked. And Clinton V2.0 will suck. Read the article posted above.

No, Obama is one of the best, both Bushes just sucked.

Both Bushes handled 2 of the worse natural disasters (Andrew & Katrina) we've had in this Country horribly...1 Bush lost over 3K on His watch.

IMHO, the role of the POTUS is to keep you safe, everything else is trivial.

[CaneRock]

Clinton was one of the best also.

[Canefederate]

Obama bad for America.

[1mg of Epi]

CaneRock.... Obamas disengagement from the has allowed Russia and China to increase their spheres of influence and has given a lil group called Isis their own country. Where he has engaged, like Libya, has given Isis even more control. He has directly contributed to hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, millions of refugees, and far far less safe America than we had 8 years ago.

Clinton passed on the only opportunity we had to kill bin laden, after he blew up one of our naval ships and bombed embassies.

Sorry bro... They're all the same.
