Coach L Against the ACC
In Larrañaga's six seasons in the ACC, Miami has at least a .500 record against 11 league opponents. UM has a .500 record or better at home against 12 teams and on the road against nine ACC squads. The Hurricanes have won a road game against all but three league opponents: Virginia (0-3), Wake Forest (0-2) and Louisville (0-1).
Larrañaga Wins 600th Career Game
Coach Jim Larrañaga won his 600th career game at Pitt on Jan. 14, improving to a 600-395 mark in 33 seasons as a head coach. Larrañaga’s 600 wins place him at 47th in all-time NCAA victories and 14th among active coaches (as of games through Jan. 12). Of those 14, five are in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, including four from the Atlantic Coast Conference. In his career, Coach L has won 27 games at American International, 170 at Bowling Green, 273 at George Mason and 130 at Miami. He is one of 15 coaches all-time with 100 or more wins at three D-I schools, four of whom are actively coaching. He is also 11th among active coaches in total games coached (995) and ninth in most seasons coached (33).
Miami Hits the Road for Three Straight Games
The Hurricanes will play three consecutive games on the road, beginning with the win at Pittsburgh on Jan. 14, followed by the Jan. 18 match-up at Wake Forest, then the Jan. 21 game against Duke, which will be featured on ESPN's College Game Day.
Major loss of key staff members tony. The vast majority of them all went over to 247. Since then rivals budget and quality has gone down hil while 247 has steadily risen and is hands down the most respected recruiting site second only to ESPN.

FSU has a really, really good BBall squad this year. Could make a deep run in the tourney. Though, that drubbing vs UNC makes me think twice about that.

Think it eliminates any doubt about him coming here. He was a must get, glad our coaches pulled it off.

A healthy Linder starts over Gauthier. St. Louis won't beat out McDermott for guard...

Dean was pretty much dropped from Bama

Either way, dropped or decommited, we need him so good.

We'll take Bama's leftovers.

Uhhhhh Sonny BigDog Odogwu will Start!
Posted by: RCCF | January 21, 2017 at 10:03 PM
So now we're talking how he didn't have a "commitable" offer?
Maybe they dropped him or maybe they realized he wanted to be a Cane so they looked elsewhere.
Either way, who cares.
Read somewhere he's rated the #1 Juco corner in the country, our biggest position of need. And he's Dade guy?
Give me a bunch more like that and I'll take them all day long.
Posted by: Go Canes! | January 21, 2017 at 10:04 PM
Dean is big and fast. Dean has all the tools to start at corner next season. I liked him at South DADE. They were very good when he was there, and he was a shut down corner. Glad to see him get his grades together and put himself in position to play for the Canes. Dean can play right away. Dean is important recruit for this class in a position of need.
Posted by: BigWindyCane1 | January 21, 2017 at 10:16 PM
Beside our wr needs, cb is our other biggest need. We played last year with necessities.

Alaska would be a very cool place to spend 5 months, lol, and most of Wyoming they can keep.

Serious question.

Posted by: Go Canes! | January 21, 2017 at 10:04 PM
They point was...he was dropped from Bama just liked we dropped Dingle and Scott so him decommiting means ZERO...but he was already a CANES LOCK...who didn't think he was coming here?
Posted by: WWIN | January 21, 2017 at 10:45 PM

That said, I live about 45 minutes from Wyoming, but where I am Wyoming is very nice. The key word in that post was "most."

Coach L is doing his best Kaaya impression before he leaves campus. 0-5 in last 5 vs top 25.

Posted by: CoCane | January 21, 2017 at 08:30 PM
Not so fast my friend! Linder and McDermott are nice legacy names but BOTH have a LOT to prove they belong on any top performing OLine at UM. Both were just "Meh" last year and very beatable on the OL.
Posted by: 86Cane | January 22, 2017 at 09:10 AM
St.Louis has been worse then meh. Linder was playing hurt. I have this strange feeling injury hinders performance... Maybe?
Posted by: CoCane | January 22, 2017 at 09:29 AM
Healthy Linder and McDermott both start imo.

#SarcasmDetectorAlert
I'll give you that but STILL, I am done with average. I want to see some dominating run blocking by a UM OL just once more before I die PLEASE. Has not been seen in these parts for a good while. Our poor RBs get hit at or behind the LOS way too often. I am not happy with the OL or the OL coach to be honest. IJS
