The U: Talented And Smart

Twenty-six student-athletes earned degrees Thursday from the University of Miami in 2018 Fall Commencement exercises, which were conducted at the Watsco Center on the UM campus in Coral Gables. The UM student-athletes were among the more than 1,000 University of Miami undergraduate and graduate students who earned their degrees during the fall ceremonies.
 
Graduates from all of the University of Miami's schools and colleges were recognized by name and walked across the stage to be congratulated by University President Julio Frenk and their respective academic deans.
 

"Today is a memorable day for 26 of our student-athletes as they achieve their goal of earning a degree from the University of Miami," Director of Athletics Blake James said. "It's a testament to the hard work and dedication displayed by these outstanding young men and women, and I couldn't be prouder of them. I can't wait to see where their life's journey takes them from here, and I hope they realize that they are always welcome back and will always be a part of our U Family."
 
Seven of Miami's athletics programs were represented in the fall graduation ceremonies. The football team led all programs with 13 graduates, including 2018 All-ACC honorees Jaquan Johnson, Michael Jackson, Sheldrick Redwine and Tyree St. Louis.
 
Women's golf standout Dewi Weber will earn her bachelor's degree in advertising/motion pictures. She is one of the most decorated student-athletes in UM golf history as a three-time All-American.
 

The list also features several former Hurricanes who returned to school to complete their degrees, including former First-Team All-America defensive back Daryl Williams, who played at UM from 1989-91 before moving on to an 11-year NFL career with the Cincinnati Bengals and Seattle Seahawks. He was an NFL Pro Bowl honoree in 1997 and inducted into the UM Hall of Fame in 2017.
 
Former men's basketball standout Darius Rice also returned to earn his degree. Rice ranks fourth in career scoring at UM with 1,865 points and was a three-time All-BIG EAST honoree. He played at UM from 2000-04 and has had a 14-year professional basketball career.
 
Additionally, the list includes baseball standouts Danny Garcia, Ricky Eusebio and Brandon Lopez, each of whom went on to play professional baseball, and Tyriq McCord, a former football linebacker who played in 51 career games.

There are some days where I would pay someone some serious cash just to end this blog.

Then there are some days when I would pay a serious admission price just to get into this place.

Today is one of those days.

[SOUP]

The fact that some really good folks have stuck around here for over 11 years is just amazing. Some have come and gone, some left and came back and some have been here from the beginning to now. All along it has been a bit WHACK but fun.

[Terrance Sullivan]

Soup. Yes Sir. Best Canes Blog Ever Daddy. Thank U CEO!

[solarcane]

Soup
I still remember a private email from you all those years ago saying any one of us could do a better job blogging about the Canes than ______ over at the Sun Sentinel.
Not too many are aware of all those discussions we had every night.
Then you proved you were right and we all did a mass exodus to Canespace
Much respect my friend

Back at U.

[Herbieibis]

Soup, The Herb loves this blog. I love the interaction with the guys and gals
. It's informative, being that I'm in, NC. I have some place to vent, which I do quit often! I'm thankful to U for the opportunity to voice my pleasures or displeasures. As I said on here before, I grew up a Bama fan. Once Bear Bryant died it just wasn't, the same and I hated ND and Day always played those cock suckers and I loved the colors so I switched and haven't looked back. I may bitch, alot but I was right about o e thing and that was the DT position, which I bitched about forever. Once we got some our Dee has been solid. Now I'm onto the OLine and specifically the tackle position. I ain't giving up hope but It's hard not too when u have idiots running the show and knowing how lousy the ACC is as a whole.

[Go Canes!!]

💯

[SOUP]

Thanks for the love.

The feeling is all mutual!

[Terrance Sullivan]

The Herb U are correct we need to fix our Tackle Positions on our OL and get a good QB that will manage the game be accurate and not turnover prone and look out we will be back kicking arse and taking names Daddy.

[solarcane]

Solomon to Michigan tonight

[Terrance Sullivan]

SolarCane actually I am happy Solomon is going to Michigan that's where he wants to be and rather him go there than him be unhappy here and transfer out in a year. Next Man Up.

[Herbieibis]

Yeah, let him go and freeze his azz off. At 190 lbs for an lb that ain't enough lard to keep u from freezing. No loyality, all these legacy players going to lose somewhere else. Maybe we will end up with another flip from App St.. We now have limited depth at Lb. If those dogs leave early we may end up with 6 lbs on ship. This is a disgrace. 16 decoms. I would understand if we finished 3-9 but these croots must know something we don't.

[Terrance Sullivan]

Naw Herb. They wanted to go where they wanted to go. We will get our share. I would be worried if we lost a guy that committed early on and never wavered. That's when U get worried.

[Herbieibis]

Have to say this. His dad was average and I'll go out on a limb and say he will be too. We need to be crooting dogs that have got some meat on their bones. At least go after some guys that weigh 210. I don't think Bama is crooting 190 lbs last I looked. Thanks for the favor
And your heavy heart.

[solarcane]

This is a bit interesting.
Diaz is going to bring coach Francis Brown back to Temple from Baylor.

Brown is said to have interviewed for the HC job very well but wasn't quite ready. He is very popular at Temple and recruits the NE well.

Maybe Manny and Temple already have an inkling as to what may transpire in a couple seasons?

[Herbieibis]

Terrance,
Getting our share of what, fighting off the likes of FIU, FAU and So. Flo. Oh and App. St. We will get our righfull position in the college higharchy real quick. We need talent. We don't need our share of share croppers.

[Terrance Sullivan]

Herb Relax.

[solarcane]

Share Croppers?
I thought they were called the Mountaineers

[Terrance Sullivan]

Herb I get your frustration completely we just have to let it play out. I am frustrated as well.
