Davon Reed scored 21 points on 6-of-10 shooting and tied his career high by making 5 of 9 3-pointers to lead Miami to a 76-56 victory over Florida Atlantic on Friday night.
Miami (8-2) took the lead for good after a 12-2 run during a 4:36 stretch midway through the first half. Anthony Lawrence keyed the surge with two 3-pointers. Lawrence's second 3 with 8:05 remaining capped the spurt and increased the Hurricanes' lead to 20-12.
Bruce Brown's layup with 1:03 to go gave Miami its largest advantage of the first half at 39-22.
Brown scored 14 points and finished with eight rebounds. Lawrence finished with 13 points and made all three of his 3-pointers.
Marcus Neely scored 13 points to lead the Owls (3-6) in their first game since a 79-77 victory over Ohio State on Dec. 6.
BIG PICTURE
Miami: Kamari Murphy finished with 10 rebounds despite missing 11 minutes in the first half because of foul trouble. Murphy has double-figure rebounds in four of his last six games.
Florida Atlantic: The Owls scored a season-low 24 points in the first half. Florida Atlantic's previous low was 27 in its 64-63 loss against Hawaii on Nov. 14.
UP NEXT
Miami: The Hurricanes will host George Washington on Dec. 22.

I really have no confidence in the other QB....I guess Rosier is all baseball....Allison Perry Testerverde....who is good....I am not sold on any of these guys..... no experience......BK is the best since KD11....some have been horrible...JH and Morris were....ok ...nothing more...... Not a lot of faith in what we have now. You have no QB....you cannot win.

Richt is supposed to be qb guru, he'll get mileage out of one of those stiffs. I think richt finally understands where the qb position is heading by bringing Perry in. It would be a breath of fresh air if we went to the spread.
Posted by: Herbieibis | December 18, 2016 at 05:05 PM
I know all the reports are saying that Kaaya and Njoku are gone, but what they said the same thing about Chubs and Sony going to NFL for UGA, and they are both coming back for their senior year. I am hopeful that they do the same. I know it's been a while for us to get that, but they have an opportunity to lead us to an ACC Championship! If we have to start over id say Allison kid from last year!
Posted by: Canefantasy | December 18, 2016 at 05:57 PM
I'll be happier than a pig in sh!t if Kaaya bolts this year. If I ask you who are our leaders are on defense you'll likely probably hear Shaq, Pickney or Corn now switch that same question to the Offense and the fact that you can't even name Kaaya as an offensive leader/Captain after 3 full seasons as a starter is pathetic.

The Work: 12-18
**Former St. Thomas Aquinas WR Corey Holmes recently announced that he was transferring from Notre Dame and naturally he has already been linked to a possible transfer to Miami due to the home ties. I asked a Canes source about the possibility of adding Holmes to the program to which he responded, "there's nothing to it right now". The Miami staff is however aware of the situation and I expect for them to track it closely. I reached out to Holmes and he acknowledged that Miami is a school that he is very open to. Why is Holmes an attractive potential option for the Canes? Not only is he eligible right away because he is graduating over the summer, but he will have two years of eligibility because he redshirted in his second year. Holmes had 11 receptions for 96 yards this season. The previous Miami staff did not recruit Holmes very hard out of high school during the 2013 recruiting cycle.
**With David Njoku likely headed to the NFL, Jovani Haskins' status up in the air, and Tre' McKitty choosing Florida State this week, is Miami content with only Brian Polendey at tight end?
Well, if Haskins was not in the doghouse, I'm told the coaches would feel comfortable with Polendey as the lone tight end in the class. The news here is that the Hurricanes have quietly been working on one of the nation's top tight ends, Josh Falo. A source said that Falo (from Sacramento, California) "has expressed continued interest" and added, "we'll see how far we can take that".
Looking a bit deeper, he is from the same area as Canes DE commit D.J. Johnson. Johnson told me he has been recruiting Falo hard and that he's trying to get him to visit on January 13th with him. If Miami gets him on campus, don't count them out.
Note: USC commit and fellow Cali product Hunter Echols might be visiting Miami on that same weekend.
**I had mentioned a couple times recently that a late run at Southridge TE Kemore Gamble was a slight possibility, but Miami's attention seems to be focused on Falo. A Southridge source reiterated this morning that Gamble would have stuck with his Canes commitment, but Miami coaches stopped recruiting him. He enrolls at UF in about two weeks.
**Miami is holding firm in their stance that they will not settle at the receiver position. "We aren't taking anyone that's just average," a source said. West Virginia commit Mike Harley is still a likely flip to the Canes and the staff views Evidence Njoku purely as a receiver, not as a developmental tight end.
I also asked on Jeff Thomas, who Ron Dugans followed on Twitter yesterday and there is nothing to track there as Thomas is not a qualifier for Miami.
Devonta Smith will visit in January but that is a long shot.
They clearly need at least one more receiver on top of getting Harley on board, so we will see where they turn for help. It's why I think Holmes could be a viable option.
**My money is on Coach Kool adding another commitment to his group. He has what he wants on the edge in Johnson and Jonathan Garvin, but he continues to focus in on Elijah Conliffe of Hampton, Virginia and that recruitment is trending in Miami's direction. Kuligowski hopes for Conliffe to join Jon Ford as defensive tackles in the class Alabama has been a long rumored destination for Conliffe, but he does not look like a priority for the Crimson Tide and he hasn't set a visit there. He will be in Coral Gables immediately following the dead period for his official visit on January 13th weekend.
**You can take Dillard's Jordan Wright off the board for Miami -- if he was ever truly on it. The Canes have made their mind up and he will not be a take, as was expected.
**An early recruiting pitch that Miami used to lure Deejay Dallas to the class was coaches selling him on the chance to play multiple positions, including both sides of the ball and a quarterback package and that still appears to be the case. Nothing is off the table for Dallas and sources said that he will test out at both receiver and defensive back in the spring. "Wild Deejay" will definitely be something to keep an eye out for.
**One of Jhavonte Dean's family members said last night that the Canes coaches are putting a major full court press on the junior college product as Miami looks to bring him in as a plug and play cornerback. This person told me that Miami has a good shot of landing Dean, but that it would have been a "no brainer" for him had the Canes recruited him over the summer and he might not have even committed to 'Bama in the first place. Coach Banda and Rumph had some contact with Dean over the summer but it was only now in the beginning on December when Miami coaches turned up the heat, including two in-person visits from Manny Diaz and Banda. He visits Miami on January 13th in what is shaping up to be a massive weekend.

Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | December 18, 2016 at 09:32 PM
No matter what happens, without a stable, experienced guy at QB, we will be in a tight spot.It is important to have a good one. Our last really good one was KD11.....he had talent...and a great team was more important. We need some stability.
Kaaya, despite poor foot work, missing guys, throws into coverage, is still the best chance we have to win. I do not see Allison, Sheriffs, Perry, Testy or Rosier or the Weldon young man coming in, and after a little spring work lead us to a great season. Now it can happen; but rare.
Is Rosier to be back or is he changing plans? I have not seen any of the other guys, so I do not know. It does not sound real healthy right now if BK leaves. It could be a tough season.
Look at Bama....when was the last time they had a really good QB? I looked some up...Richard Todd...Jeff Rutledge... in late 70s....all the titles they won and may win this year...they had no star QB....but loaded everywhere....1 of us could QB them to the title this year...lol...the young kid is not bad....but not an incredible athlete or QB. They can get by with that....we have proven we cannot get by with an average joe.
Posted by: VA Cane | December 18, 2016 at 09:44 PM
Why is it assumed that our backup QB's aren't any good???
Last time I saw Rosier play... he looked pretty good to me!
Posted by: WWIN | December 18, 2016 at 09:45 PM
I think they may be ok; I guess we will find out sooner or later. We will need a good QB if BK leaves; start from scratch like we did with him I would guess. coaches will need to do a lot of individual work; hence the need for an OC.
Posted by: VA Cane | December 18, 2016 at 10:03 PM
J. Winston just made an incredible throw for a TD....pretty impressive young QB.
Posted by: VA Cane | December 18, 2016 at 10:12 PM
The Canespace consensus was... Kaaya is slightly above average.
If the QB's on our current roster and two recruits we're bringing in aren't at least SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE by September of 2017... blame CMR and staff!
Posted by: WWIN | December 18, 2016 at 10:25 PM
I think The Sinister is being a little hard on The Brad. He is "above average". Just not really good or even close to great.

I don't understand the rush to throw aside Allison after one season. Is it not reasonable to presume he'll make significant improvements in year two? Let's assume Kayaa returns, do we also discard Perry and Weldon if Rosier is wins the backup job again?
