The University of Miami women’s tennis team checks in at No. 12 in the nation in the pre-spring ITA rankings to begin 2017.
In addition, the Hurricanes have a trio of players in the top 70, headlined by junior Sinead Lohan placing sixth, and one doubles pair in the top 50.
"I think this is a fair start for our team. This year is about taking the next step–we have the talent." Miami head coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews said. "My vibe on this team is that they are going to die for their friends. They are more than teammates this year which is going to have a huge impact."
Miami, one of five ACC teams in the top 25, is ranked in the top 12 to start the spring for the seventh time in the last eight years.
The Hurricanes are coming off a 21-6 (12-2 ACC) showing in 2015-16, reaching the Sweet 16 for the 11th consecutive season and finishing in the top 15 for the 13th consecutive season. Miami ended the campaign ranked No. 10, its eighth top-10 finish in the past 11 years.
Individually, Sinead Lohan, at sixth nationally, is the second-highest ranked player in the ACC and the second-highest ranked junior in the country. Lohan, who went 11-3 in the fall with six wins over top-45 opponents, is ranked in the top 10 for the 13th straight time, a streak that dates back to the opening 2016 rankings. She was fifth in the nation this past fall.
Along with Lohan, redshirt senior Maci Epstein is ranked No. 69 in singles and freshman Estela Perez-Somarriba is ranked No. 70. Of the players who are now ranked but were not in the fall, they are among the top 20 on the list.
For Epstein, who went 10-6 in the fall and reached the semifinals at the ITA Southeast Regional Championships, the No. 69 mark is the best of her collegiate career. Her prior top mark came in 2015 when she reached No. 102 nationally.
Just three Canespacers support UM women's tennis in any real way.
Yet only 11 freshmen in the country are ranked higher than Perez-Somarriba, including just four in the ACC. The Madrid native posted a 7-3 mark in the fall to begin her career at Miami.
The Hurricanes are one of 12 teams, including one of three in the ACC, with at least three ranked singles players. There are just nine teams, with two hailing from the ACC, that have at least three singles players in the top 70.

I think NE is a fine team....but they get so many calls..and breaks.....Edelman pushed off in the open big as hell....no call....so obvious not funny.
Thats why people hate NE....way too many calls when they need it...league loves them...as they did SF, Dallas the pretty boys... In college...we rarely get calls....same with Oakland...for years they never got calls. That tuck rule was the worst call ever....it was a fumble...but they always have to protect the brand ...the pretty boys that make them money. That is SAD!!!
I can take losing when it happens....but man call it square. NFL is not called that way...nor is college....let them play!!!

Under the radar is a fo sho Golden thing. How many of those types did Goldie take in 5 years and that is where we have been flying for the last 12 years or so.
Posted by: Herbieibis | January 14, 2017 at 12:22 PM
Indeed. Although I've wondered recently (after reading the article about Njoku and how he was one of the only project players to blossom) if he was making a calculated risk. My guess is:
2011-2012 Recruiting: Challenged because other HCs are saying your school is going to get major sanctions or the death penalty. Golden still gets a strong number of commitments, but not at the FSU level.
2013-2014 Recruiting: You're past the investigation, but now there are several years of on the field results to be used by other HCs in negative recruiting.
So if you're Golden, do you settle for baseline three star players who have limited upside? Or do you take chance after chance on project players and hope that many of them blossom, and then within a couple of years your signing class basically matches that of FSU.
It seems like a calculated risk which basically backfired, leaving Miami with some players that may not have been any better (if not worse) than the baseline 3-star players that he could have signed.
As for Sherriffs, I thought it interesting that CMR was also recruiting him as well.

TonyCane...He looked horrible in last years Spring Game. Now has He made huge strides since then...IDK.
And unless it's changed, He's at UM on a partial athletic scholarship...His GPA & test scores were high enough to secure a scholarship for the other half of His tuition.
But honestly, if you're looking for a darkhorse in this upcoming QB battle, look out for Weldon.

I ask because Sherriffs was considered an interesting, under the radar prospect. Miami and Mark Richt's UGA were the only teams to really express interest in him:

Miami Recruiting Insider: 1/13
Andrew Ivins - 53 minutes ago VIP4
Miami coaches didn't waste anytime getting after it on Thursday.

The Hurricanes had assistants recruiting up and down the state of Florida along with representatives in Lousiana, Maryland and Georgia with the NCAA recruiting 'dead period' in the books and the 'contact period' now open.
InsideTheU has the latest.
— Miami head coach Mark Richt and wide receivers coach Ron Dugans went in-home with Winter Park wide receiver Jordan Pouncey on Thursday InsideTheU was told by multiple people including Pouncey himself that the visit went well. The former Notre Dame commit even used the word 'surreal' to describe the meet and greet when asked what the conversations were like. While Miami continues to trend in the right direction for Pouncey, this is shaping up to be a Miami-Tennessee battle down the stretch. The Volunteers also sent an assistant coach in on Thursday and there's some buzz coming out of Knoxville that the SEC school is right in the thick of things. Pouncey will take an official visit to Coral Gables this weekend. He isn't expected to announce a decision until Feb. 1's National Signing Day, but don't be surprised if the Hurricanes try to push for a silent commitment on Sunday before he leaves campus.
— Speaking of this weekend, don't expect too many surprises when it comes to the official visitors. InsideTheU was told late Thursday that Pouncey, Alabama junior college cornerback commit Jhavonte Dean, Miami Top247 defensive end commit D.J. Johnson, Miami four-star cornerback commit Trajan Bandy and Miami three-star wide receiver commit Evidence Njoku are the prospects expected to arrive on Friday. There's a chance that West Virginia three-star wide receiver commit Mike Harley could also show up, but right now that's not looking likely. Miami would love to flip Dean from the Crimson Tide, if possible, but the coaches also want to shore things up with Johnson this weekend who will be in South Florida for the first time with his parents.
— There's been some smoke out there that Brunswick (Ga.) Glynn Academy three-star offensive tackle Zalontae Hillery might not be all that solid on his pledge to the Hurricanes with schools like Florida, N.C. State and Kentucky still in the conversation, but at least one person connected to his recruitment expects him to sign with Miami. The word coming out of Georgia is that Hillery's high school coaches want him to take all of five of his official visits, because they feel like Hillery committed to the Hurricanes at Richt's inaugural Paradise Camp without giving any other programs much of a chance.
— Denton (Texas) Guyer three-star tight end Brian Polendey arrived in Coral Gables on Thursday and moved into his dorms. Miami loves Polendy's upside, but it appears that the coaches are still entertaining the idea of taking a second tight end in the class. One name to keep an eye on is Top100 tight end Josh Falo. The California native said two weeks ago at the Under Armour All-American Game that he wasn't planning to take an official visit to Miami, but InsideTheU has learned that he recently reached out to the Hurricanes. While Falo is certainly a name to know, there's also a strong possibility that UM elects to pass on a second tight end and tries to take two elite guys next cycle with 2018 Top100 tight end Brevin Jordan believed to be favoring the Hurricanes at the moment.
— InsideTheU was first to report on Thursday that Miami has expressed some interest in South Broward three-star offensive tackle Jordon Carty. We have since learned that there's a chance he could take an official visit to Miami late in January although its unknown at the time where exactly he sits on the Hurricanes big board. Carty's high school coach said that his lineman recently received a high enough test score to qualify at most schools, but added that some academic work remains when it comes to coursework. The 6-7, 265-pound tackle is set to take an official visit to Mississippi State this weekend. He has already been to Oregon State.
— There isn't much new information to relay when it comes to Amite (La.) High five-star wide receiver Devonta Smith and East St. Louis (Mo.) High Top50 wide receiver Jeff Thomas. Dugans saw Smith early Thursday and is expected to make his way out to the Midwest next week to sit down with Thomas. The latest intel suggests that Alabama still leads for Smith, but many think that Thomas will end up inking with the Hurricanes and apparently some people inside are already pushing him that way.
— It was reported elsewhere that American Heritage Top247 offensive guard Tedarrell Slaton will take an official visit to Miami on Sunday after a basketball tournament on Saturday. We haven't been able to confirm this trip. We can however report that Hurricanes defensive line coach Craig Kuligowski did meet with Slaton on Thursday and we're told the two discussed the possibility of him playing defensive tackle at Miami, but the word out of Coral Gables right now is that Slaton isn't slated to visit this weekend. We'll monitor the situation over the next few days, but Florida remains the favorite in the recruitment.
— Dillard three-star defensive tackle Jon Ford also got a visit from Kuligowski on Thursday. He will take an official visit to Kentucky next weekend, but at least two people at Dillard believe that he ultimately sticks with the Hurricanes and is just taking trips to other schools to see new places. That also appears to be the case with Carol City linebacker De'Andre Wilder. He met with defensive coordinator Manny Diaz on Thursday and while he says he intends to take an official visit to Utah this weekend some think that he doesn't make it out to the Pac-12 school.
— Miami offensive coordinator Thomas Brown was at Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha Catholic on Thursday to checkup on Top247 running back Anthony McFarland Jr. and his family. The Hurricanes continue to look like the favorite to land the Under Armour All-American in advance of his Jan. 25 decision. The only hiccup for Miami might be if Florida hires Alabama analyst Mike Locksley. The former Maryland assistant has plenty of ties to the DMV and was apparently one of the main reasons why McFarland had the Crimson Tide initially on his short list of schools.
— It's hard to get a read on where things stand with Miramar three-star cornerback Brian Edwards, but after our on-site conversation with him Thursday we feel as if his recruitment is a two team battle between Miami-Florida battle with Louisville also in the hunt to land his signature. Edwards seems to really like UF defensive coordinator Randy Shannon, but he also seems to have built a strong relationship with UM cornerbacks coach Mike Rumph. This one will likely come down to the official visits with a decision not expected to come until National Signing Day. We'll add that Edwards was wearing orange and green Miami gloves at a practice for the Dade-Broward Game on Thursday if that counts for anything.
— Richt & Co. might have been out on the road, but the Hurricanes still managed to get some talent on campus for the basketball game against Notre Dame. 2018 Top247 defensive back Josh Jobe, 2018 Top247 wide receiver Mark Pope, 2018 Top247 defensive back Gilbert Frierson, 2018 Top247 wide receiver Daquris Wiggins and 2018 three-star cornerback DJ Ivey were all on hand for official visits. Miami continues to gain ground with Pope.

I like some of the recruits the Canes are chasing. Just like last year, the Canes are going after very good players with high ceilings. It does not appear that the Canes are recruiting any reaches or projects, and CMR appears to drop questionable recruits for athletic performance or potential issues, not for other issues.
Like last year, it seems that CMR is committed to quality in this class, and would prefer to take a smaller class rather than take players who are reaches. CMR can fill any gaps with junior college or graduate transfers. But my guess is that they have a good chance to meet their goals for quality and quantity.
Posted by: BigWindyCane1 | January 13, 2017 at 06:47 PM
Give The Herb 2 more db's, 2 to 3 wr's, 1 rb, 1 dt, at least 1 more o-lineman all of quality and I The Herb shall be satisfied. Even if we have to drop some dead weight like Henly, Choc, bus, and Mayes.

Ariz says he's told Henderson is a Miami lean.

^^^ I agree. Let the grown man do what he wants. Non issue.

I see him like a Jimmy Graham. A hybrid type.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | January 13, 2017 at 02:15 PM
I don't see TE for Njoku 2. Different frame than David. Tall WR, IMO. Like Kelvin Benjamin or Mike Williams.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 13, 2017 at 02:10 PM
Njoku is gonna have to grow into TE like his big brother. His nickname should be Njok2.

Harley's parents both supposedly pushed for him to take the visit. At least they're in our corner lol

Someone dynamic needs to unseat Berrios at PR next year.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | January 13, 2017 at 02:07 PM
If Kaaya tears it up, and the next QB starts off with a bang, you think people start talking about QBU again? Would love to get that title back.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | January 13, 2017 at 02:01 PM
^^^ Dean is a nice addition too.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | January 13, 2017 at 01:55 PM
Has anyone heard how the Henderson visit went last night? I want a DB class of Edwards, Henderson, Bandy and Dallas.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | January 13, 2017 at 01:54 PM
^^^ We get both plus Holmes and thats an elite WR group. Elite.

I dont think of Harley as shifty. He's a bunch like Dorsett. Thomas is very shifty, like Santana. We get both plus Holmes. Ive had a feeling about Harley for a minute. Seems like he has WV doubts.

Imo if this kid gets on campus he's not going to WVU.
There's no way any recruit, especially one who's probably grown up knowing about Perry, won't second and third guess his commitment after the shellacking we gave WVU.
Posted by: Go Canes! | January 13, 2017 at 01:08 PM
Besides the fact that WV is already a looooong @$$ way from SoFlo, they played road games in Landover, Md...Lubbock, TX...Stillwater ,OK...Austin, TX...Aimes, IA...and the closest one to SoFlo was the RAB.
Seriously doubt that Harley's parents would've seen Him play more than once a year...if that.
Posted by: CaneRock | January 13, 2017 at 12:46 PM
So... Mike Harley is visiting now. After "shutting down" his recruitment 2 weeks ago. LOL
We need either him or Jeff Thomas. Elite speed/shifty guys. I'd prefer Thomas, but would take Harley in a heartbeat. Both would be amazing.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 13, 2017 at 12:28 PM
Now our fans are saying Oregon taking our Recruit because of Billy Gibson. I Bet he wished that he listened to the coaches right now. Now he can't Come. As fast as Brian Edwards who they're saying may not Qualify, I would've love to had both of them, but they have to Want to be Canes. We Have what the Media calls a SEC Defense Now. In My Opinion one of the Top 5 Defenses in the Nation, but south Florida players rather go Elsewhere. Give me Dean, Cartwe, Bandy,Smith and DJ and Watch What Happens.

VA Cane...Burns still has offers on the table from the likes of Bama,FSU,OSU, & Clemson, among many, so (JMO) I think He'll be alright.
And remember Allen Hurns came to UM with injury concerns, and He turned out pretty good.
Posted by: CaneRock | January 13, 2017 at 12:09 PM
Pulling a kid to Oregon is going to be a looootttt harder than Bama:
SOURCE: #Alabama asst Mario Cristobal is expected to become the new OC & Run Game Coordinator at #Oregon.. 1st reported by 247.
Posted by: Go Canes! | January 13, 2017 at 12:09 PM
I am thinking we are getting some good kids who will need to play; play the young guys...they can do it.
I think Burns sounds like an injury project, the kid from MD is needed sounds solid.
I still think QB is questionable; I like what I see of Perry the best; Allison is gun shy from tape; his footwork is slow as well. Only time will tell.
While I think we had a good team this year, all you had to do was watch Monday night; we could not get on the field with Clemson or Bama. Our D could compete.....the offense we ran at anytime was not ready for that kind of competition. We must build on that; QB/OL/RB are all questionable and/or thin at this point; WR may be deeper but still needs work. Our O needs to work really hard and grow; I think our D is stronger; DBs will need work and depth.
Good luck to all the guys leaving and coming.

I must say the trolling game on the space, myself included, has gotten weak this season.
We all need to add working on that to our New Year's resolutions.

We Have A Chance to Play for a National AL Championship with an Adequate Quarterback, an Addition of two Good Offensive Lineman, two Good DB's and Maybe two Good Wr's. That's How Close We Are.
Posted by: Coolmac758 | January 13, 2017 at 10:44 AM
We had all that last year and we...oops, I missed the part where you said adequate QB.
Posted by: CaneRock | January 13, 2017 at 11:03 AM
It has to be exhausting having to hit the caps key for nearly every single word typed.
What's actually written is utter nonsense, but mad props for the delivery.

Is that it coolmac? That all we need?

Our Fans unbelievable. Quick to Bash Kids if They Don't Choose Is, but Complain that kids want to go to places like Florida and Tennessee. If Kids Pick Those Type of Schools over us based on What They Have Just Witnessed This Season, Let Them Go. We Have A Chance to Play for a National AL Championship with an Adequate Quarterback, an Addition of two Good Offensive Lineman, two Good DB's and Maybe two Good Wr's. That's How Close We Are.
