The Canes are still a -3 point favorite in the Russell Athletics Bowl. Several websites, including ESPN, are picking the Canes in this game. CMR acknowledges the opportunity he has to win this game and carry that momentum through recruiting season and into next season

[Go Canes!]

This is a no brainer for FAU. They won't find a better candidate. Very much hope Scott gets it, he's a class act and a fine coach.

Feldman: Am told #Vols asst Larry Scott, the former #Miami interim HC, is a solid candidate for the #FAU coaching vacancy.

[SOUP]

Ladies and gentlemen...I would like to take this opportunity to make the pronouncement that a new has been posted on the Internet.

[Ohio_Cane]

^^ That's actually exactly what I'm expecting, Dude. Plus one or 3 more kids

[The Dude]

Posted by: Ohio_Cane | December 08, 2016 at 04:52 PM

More power to him to come in and try out where he wants to. I think he'll settle into JaQuan Johnson's spot in time.

[The Dude]

Miami's recruiting class is now ranked #9 by Rivals, but to me its missing some bigger names. If Miami can land McFarland, both the OL and a 4* WR, I'd consider that a huge victory.

[Ohio_Cane]

I didn't say U were wrong. I said he's a CB or WR, not a S. Just my opinion and I'm pretty sure he said on one of Ariz's podcasts that he may do both. I just don't see him as a S. Maybe he will be, though.

[The Dude]

Miami QB committ Perry is now a 4* on Rivals.

[The Dude]

Posted by: Ohio_Cane | December 08, 2016 at 03:34 PM

I've seen tape on him. He is elusive and hard to hit, but nothing I said was wrong. Not thick enough to be a RB, speed not elite enough for WR or CB. His best NFL spot is FS and maybe some PR. His top end is fast enough, but he doesnt get there in an instant.

[Old Skool]

John Glenn RIP

Former Cane Reggie Youngblood on Randy Shannon: "That man ruined careers, y'all just don’t know the half". Whoa

SOOOOOO,ANYTHING WHERE TO PARK AT THE BOWL GAME YET?

[Ohio_Cane]

Watch this kid's athleticism:

http://www.hudl.com/profile/2759579/deejay-dallas

[Ohio_Cane]

What else would he play as but a S? I dont think he's got the gear for WR or size for RB.

Posted by: The Dude | December 08, 2016 at 02:30 PM
----------------------------------------

He could absolutely be a WR. And if he's a DB, it's CB, not S.

[The Dude]

Speaking of Ed Reed, he's a coach for the Bills now.

[The Dude]

Dallas after an int heading the other way will be a killer. Bandy will stick all over the other team's best guy. They'll both play next year I think which is kinf of a shame because they could both use a RS.

[The Dude]

I hate to make the comparison, but Dallas could be a lot loke Ed Reed.

[The Dude]

[CGNC]

Posted by: Go Canes! | December 08, 2016 at 11:12 AM

Not only that, he will do more blocking than receiving

[CGNC]

Posted by: Go Canes! | December 06, 2016 at 01:37 PM

You can go to the game, but you will to wear your U gear. Including that 20 year old hat of yours.

Posted by: 1mg of Epi | December 06, 2016 at 07:35 PM

Agreed! You should go to the game 1) because your daughter wants you to and 2) you have no emotion tied to the game. If FSU wins, the ACC looks good. If they lose, you are still happy ;D

[Ohio_Cane]

I think Miami has 4 dbs committed.

Posted by: The Dude | December 08, 2016 at 01:33 PM
-------------------------------------

If U believe DeeJay Dallas is going to play DB, yes, we have 4 committed. 2 safeties and 2 CBs

[Ohio_Cane]

Susan Miller Degnan ‏@smillerdegnan 3m3 minutes ago

Mel Kiper of ESPN just told me on teleconference that @CanesFootball QB Brad Kayya is 3rd-round, maybe 2nd-round if he comes out early.

Susan Miller Degnan ‏@smillerdegnan 1m1 minute ago
Kiper also told me on national teleconference that TE David Njoku would do well by coming back to UM.

[The Dude]

I think Miami has 4 dbs committed.

[Go Canes!]

And this kid wants to play WR for the Tide?

CFB Film Room: Excluding throw aways, Alabama QB Jalen Hurts was 4-12 on pass attempts that traveled past the line of scrimmage in SEC Championship Game

[CaneRock]

I don't have a fear of losing everyone, just wondering why we only have 2 DBs committed at this point. Recruiting that position has been like pulling teeth lately, that position should've been wrapped up.

That's my only gripe with the current recruiting, love the way this class is starting to shape up.

[Ohio_Cane]

Ariz has predicted Dean to UM for over a week now. I'm very confident. He's VERY good, too.

Jeudy may not visit now. Damn Saban...

[The Dude]

247 has Dean at 100% Cane in their crystal ball.

[The Dude]

I wonder if Jeudy's recent family tragedy will play a role. Can't help but feel bad for the kid. Wish him well where ever he ends up.

[Ohio_Cane]

Steve Wiltfong from 247 regarding #1 JUCO CB Jhavonte Dean:

Told tonight "more than likely" he will be a Hurricane.

[Ohio_Cane]

Give me the top four on that list plus what we already have and that's a wrap!!

Posted by: Go Canes! | December 08, 2016 at 09:54 AM
-----------------------------------------

I still want the combo of Slaton/Herbert, and I think we do get them both, but yes, I agree.

[Go Canes!]

Posted by: Ohio_Cane | December 08, 2016 at 09:31 AM

Give me the top four on that list plus what we already have and that's a wrap!!

[Ohio_Cane]

^^^ So no McFarland because youre sure he's already committed?

Posted by: The Dude | December 08, 2016 at 09:41 AM
------------------------------------------

Yes, or he'd be 2-3. He's already a Cane. Will announce it at All-America game. Under Armour I think.

[Ohio_Cane]

Almost forgot DB Brian Edwards. He'll be a Cane, too, IMO.

[The Dude]

^^^ So no McFarland because youre sure he's already committed?

[Ohio_Cane]

DB recruiting:

I think we have a real chance with CJ Henderson and Antwan Collier should be a Cane, too.

Like I said above, I think we get the #1 JUCO CB, Jhavonte Dean. Immediate starter opposite (most likely) starter Malik Young.

DeeJay Dallas can play DB or WR. Might do both.

[Ohio_Cane]

I think we get Slaton, too.

[Ohio_Cane]

Of you could wish list 5 of the kids on the radar to come to Miami who'd they be?

Posted by: The Dude | December 07, 2016 at 07:12 PM
--------------------------------------------

On the radar?

1. Jerry Jeudy
2. Tedarrel Slaton
3. Jhavonte Dean (think we get him)
4. Tre McKitty (think we get him too)
5. Devonte Smith

[Ohio_Cane]

Guys, we have a real staff who knows and does play the recruiting game. We're good now. Let that fear of losing everyone go. Golden is gone.

Example: CJ Henderson has been rumored to be signed and sealed to UF, and wouldn't take any more OV's, but now all of a sudden he's taking an OV to UM.

Anthony McFarland is a silent commit. 100% positive. Evidenced by Richt telling WQAM that we have 2 RB's committed when we only have Robert Burns.

[Ohio_Cane]

What's the outlook at DB recruiting?...lookin' suspect there.

Posted by: CaneRock | December 08, 2016 at 08:32 AM
-----------------------------------------

Be patient there. DeeJay Dallas said he's got this. Oh, and Banda is turning out to be one of our best recruiters.

[Go Canes!]

Posted by: CaneRock | December 08, 2016 at 08:32 AM

And WR and the O-line.

Don't know what to think about whats going on with recruiting.

Lots of rumors of silent commits and a late push at positions of need, but nothing concrete.

[CaneRock]

What's the outlook at DB recruiting?...lookin' suspect there.

[CaneRock]

Phuck O'Saban Been Lyin' & dat Bumma $h!t.

Richardson last year, this year we're snatchin' Jeudy...no more losing the Amari Coopers of the world anymore...not if Richt holds up His end of the bargain.

[Go Canes!]

Posted by: The Dude | December 07, 2016 at 10:45 PM

This is all true, but he ain't turning USF into Bama.

They don't have the facilities, fan base, obsessed boosters, TV contract, bag men or infrastructure to support a demanding, ego-maniacal jerk like Saban.

The two entities together created this perfect storm. Each needs the other to maintain this monstrosity.

[The Dude]

Every university has a turning point. Miami under Howard, Bama wasnt the juggernaught it was until Saban, Baylor was dominating Texas and was spending money. USF hires Saban... turning point.

[The Dude]

The only thing Saban has over the other great coaches though is that he stayed. Carroll at USC was just as good. Butch jumped to the NFL or he could have gone on a run, Jimmy Johnson etc. I dont understand thd whole "he flopped in the NFL" ish. I think that comes from a bunch of butt hurt Dolphins fans. He didnt flop in the NFL, he just bailed on it for one of the top 5 jobs in American sports, although, he did kind of turn Bama into that.

[The Dude]

They hire him at USF tomorrow and he will compete with anyone. Thats a part of being the best ever. He would still get great coaches to come work for him at USF. His spotlight is bright, if he went to USF coaches, recruits and fans would flock to that program.

[Go Canes!]

Posted by: The Dude | December 07, 2016 at 06:08 PM

The guy is a fantastic coach, perhaps the best ever.

But Bama gives him advantages no other coach has EVER had in college football.

He has the absolute best facilities and an unlimited amount of money to hire the beast assistants or to get whatever he feels gives him an edge.

Think Cristobal jumps from the U to USF for the same money just to learn under Saban?

No way.

Same goes with Kiffin and the rest.

They're working for Saban because he's great AND they can make more there then just about anywhere else. If they could only make a third or even half of what they make now there is zero percent chance they would work for him at USF.

And as great as he is, he isn't building a dynasty in Tampa with average assistant coaches, middle of the road facilities and flying commercial to visit recruits.

And he most certainly won't have the number one class in college football year in and out.

RAIZE THE PARKING IS CRAZY, THE CHEAPEST I FOUND SO FAR IS 40$

Yea, that's the cheapest i have seen online and that is most likely lot K and / or L which is on the other side of 408. Not a bad walk but still. I am waiting our blogs fearless leader and KY as to how we plan to proceed.

Last time the Canes played, we had 2 parking passes by stadium and everyone just migrated over. Worked out pretty good. You can still see the videos on Youtube...

[The Dude]

O_C,

^^^ Its pretty good to be the next one up though. Spotlight day 1. Big games. Great coaches. Doesnt have to be the man. The only down side is he doesnt get to truly rep Miami.

Posted by: The Dude | December 07, 2016 at 05:07 PM

This is definitely not true. Not even close.

[CaneRock]

Good to hear things are #WEBALLINBOYZ (formerly known as #TRENDINGUP) with Jeudy.

[CaneRock]

We lost Kayvon Webster & Sam Barrington to USF. That was the same year we beat em' convincingly...the same year our win total was a number we haven't cracked since 03'...the same year we beat FSU.

I never said Strong would get who He wanted, IJS, Richt bet' not slip.

[The Dude]

If Saban went to USF, they'd be recruiting with everyone. Period.

[Ohio_Cane]

We are NEVER going to lose a player we want to fvcking USF...

[Go Canes!]

I don't see us losing players to USF initially, but that school is no FIU.

It will attract players if stays good with a coach like Strong.

[Ohio_Cane]

What's next, Butch stealing UM recruits at FIU? No.

[Ohio_Cane]

I think you win stupid comment of the day. Strong would certainly effect Miami recruiting. As for Saban... really?

Posted by: The Dude | December 07, 2016 at 03:59 PM
------------------------------------------

Uhhh, at USF?? Really? U do know Golden is gone, right?

Stupid comment of the YEAR goes to anyone who thinks USF will be stealing UM recruits, regardless of the coach.

Native I might have kicked the dog, cat, rat, and hog those 4 weeks so I had a multiple injury.

CGNCPa, had the fixator on for about 2.5 weeks, then they took it off, put titanium plate and screws in, and now the leg/ankle is wrapped in gauze to cover stitching, then a strap like cast, with hard plastic on the sides and around ankle/leg...plastic up the sides and small open area covered with 2 ace bandages. The bottom is plastic but not flat like a shoe; it is angled ...I think to keep hardhead VACPa from trying to take a step. I think I can, but have not can rest on it.

I took an appraisal today and have another one Friday; No work in a month....but bills still come...I will be back I think...plan on in 2 weeks. Got to.

I think EN will be incredible.....can you imagine Richards and the Njoku brothers on the field tryoing to cover them? Nightmare matchups.

Spoke to my brothers; Skipper is worse than me as a football fanatic....he is 63 thinks he could play. Great HS player and played at VT early 70's.Both say we have a shot...Bama supposedly is close. He plays for Hampton Crabbers one of the great HS teams in VA and have been for long time.

Big strong fast....needs learn to use hands better, little more mean....and play little lower. I think Manny and Kool would really develop him into a fantastic player. They are fundamental guys. He is my Christmas wish....I wont have Christmas this year being laid up....but give me this guy Santa!!!!!

Evidence says he has an 89 inch wingspan. Same as Dwight Howard.

I can see this being 6'7 230, a RZ nightmare. He has grown 2 inches in the past year and is probably not done yet. A college weight program is going to help him a lot.
