Great Information Soupster!

AeroCane

We have 3 strong starters
Ok to good relief pitchers
Poor defense
Hitting is the variable at this time between being good vs excellent
Need toral and del Castillo as well as a few others to start tearing it up as well as getting timely hits and HR’s

Tough loss to GT. Final score 63 - 57.

UM is now a "bubble team" . . . to finish last in the ACC.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but the same issues continue to plague the Canes, except this game the issues were magnified.

The Canes had only 4 assists....I repeat, 4 ASSISTS! How is that possible? No doubt, the Canes need much better movement, and maybe recruit a true point guard during the off-season. I have never seen a Coach L team struggle moving the ball on offense, struggle rebounding and struggle defending

Then, throw in 17 turnovers, and that assist-to-turnover ratio continues to look worse and worse.

Then, the Canes were out-rebounded 48-33 again, and

58 Straight

In any basketball game U have:

A embarrassingly high 17 turnovers
A ridiculously low 4 assists
A major disadvantaged 33-48 rebound deficit

How do U expect to win a game like that?

HerbieIbis

Canes beat Towson 8-2 but were out hit 8 to 6. Half the team hitting below .250. Maybe they need to take some dam boat oars to the plate with them.

🤷‍♂️ Great question!

Need to recruit and coach up players who can rebound and pass much better.

watched the basketball reply this morning while in my role as grandfather with a 1 1/2 yr. old, who sometimes watched for long minutes at a time on my lap
. . . but we took about 20 pauses to do other things
. . . so my game awareness is a little shaky

- but for the 2nd game, the 2nd part of the 1st half absolutely killed the keystone-cop kanes, who looked as frustrated & unfocussd as i've seen them during a stretch that saw GA tech clobber 'em and go up by 20

- wong & lykes were particularly frustrating to watch during the 1st half, but the ball didn't really want to go down for anyone

- and this slump vasiljevik is in is absolutely a killer . . . we were used to his timely 3-pointers and nightly 15 pts off of higher-than-40% 3-pt-avg

- waardenburg picked his game way up during the middle of the season, when injuries kept him on the court for too many minutes, despite his struggle with his leg injury . . . he stayed tough and was actually a force on offense
. . . now he seems to have lost his O-mojo and his D is not nearly as tough or effective
. . . i would have liked to see walker get some of his minutes last night

- BUT, that 24-2 run during the 2nd half was a thing of beauty
. . . i wish they could have kept it together the last couple minutes, but several foul calls that didn't seem to go their way seemed to frustrate them more than usual and their magic dissipated

- i would like to see them put it together vs VA this wednesday, with wong, lykes & mcgusty having good games and vasiljevik breaking out of his slump

AeroCane

Canes up 6-3 in the 6th
3-3 to start the inning so the bats woke up a little

As for basketball - move on and get a younger coach who knows the players and schemes better and can recruit JMO

MIAMI HURRICANES

Miami Hurricanes open spring drills with energetic first practice and newcomers abound

The Miami Hurricanes opened spring drills at UM’s Greentree Practice Fields on Monday morning with their newcomers all around and an energy and enthusiasm of a team eager to return to work after a 6-7 season.

As soon as the media walked in from the gate adjacent to Miami’s soccer field and track, Cobb Stadium, there were the quarterbacks. They were lined up with returning redshirt junior N’Kosi Perry first, then incoming grad transfer D’Eriq King, followed by redshirt junior Tate Martell, redshirt freshman Peyton Matocha and true freshman early enrollee Tyler Van Dyke.

They threw to wide receivers, tight ends and running backs with the Hurricanes’ new crop of skill position freshmen available in the spring among them. They first threw standing still and then lined up to toss an assortment of routes to different targets with no defense.

By the time what appears to be Miami’s very early first-team offense lined up without an offensive line, it was King with receivers Michael Harley, Mark Pope and Dee Wiggins, running back Cam’Ron Harris and tight end Will Mallory. Fellow junior tight end Brevin Jordan is not available for the spring as he recovers from his foot injury.


While new offensive line coach Garin Justice was working with his unit in the distance from where reporters could watch, new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Rhett Lashlee and receivers coach Greg Likens were up close.

[Popular in Sports] Here’s why Dolphins should keep an eye on Tua-to-Redskins talk ahead of NFL draft »
Lashlee was intense instructing quarterbacks, including one moment where he yelled after an errant throw from one of his passers, emphasizing they cannot overthrow receivers while no defense is covering them in practice.

Likens got on one freshman receiver for the way he ran a route: “You did better than that in high school!”

Freshman receiver Michael Redding III, while he wasn’t expected to participate in Miami’s first spring practice based on what coach Manny Diaz said about his status nearly a month ago, was out there with a cast on his right wrist and a blue non-contact vest over his No. 83 jersey. Redding would run routes without having balls thrown to him and would simulate the ensuing catch and run.

Michael Redding III wasn’t expected to be out here based on what Manny Diaz said almost a month ago.

But even with what looks like a cast on his right wrist, he’s out here running routes and simulating catch-and-run situations without balls getting thrown to him.

Redshirt senior tight end Michael Irvin II was not seen at practice on Monday.

When a defense lined up against receivers, one highlight came from senior safety Amari Carter, who had an impressive pass breakup running with Mallory in 7-on-7.

Lashlee, with the quarterbacks, yelled at one point: “You started throwing go balls in the seventh grade! Do not overthrew them, people!”


Then, this: “Hey, quarterbacks! Every overthrown go ball is five up-downs from here on out! Give them a chance to make a play.”

welcome Big Al

Man,
looking at a clip of the QBs throwing Van Dyke looks like a giant compared to King

King looks small but he looks confident and polished. I cant wait to see this dude run around and make stuff happen.

Dam, we got a OL early for once. Michael McLoughlin verbal to Da U.

Nice pickup. McLoughlin could be a nice OT for us down the road. These are the kind of players that the Canes should not allow to leave South Florida. We are finally recruiting true OTs for once.

I hope Garin Justice gives Jalen Rivers a chance to play. Frankly, I have seen enough of the current OL, and I saw Rivers at camp and once during the season, and I think Rivers can contribute. Rivers also has talent, and we need more talent on the OL.

HerbieIbis

Yeah, a good pick up and a former TE. Good redshirt candidate and let him develope into a 6'7 310 tackle by his RS Soph. Season.
Might finally be a year where we load up on some decent Oh line talent, bring in more than 2 CB's and get a high level LB or 2. When's the last time that happened?

Big windy - excellent post and points

BigWindyCane1

I would like to see us pull in local WRs Romello Brinson, Jacory Brooks and CB Jason Marshall. CB Corey Collier and DB James Williams would be icing on the cake

HerbieIbis

Got a good chance with the first 3 but the last 2 going too be real tough. Collier, I believe is a FSU legacy and William's is all about the SEC, at the moment anyway. He's going to be a game player through out the process.

I also read that Justice moved players around on the offensive line to find a fit. Rivers is backing up Scaife at RG, and Zion Nelson was moved to RT. Clark is the backup at Center. Campbell and Herbert are at LT. Donaldson is injured.

This is how I see it. Donaldson will be the starting RG when he returns from injury in the Fall , which means that Scaife will likely move to another position on the OL, and my prediction is LT or RT, depending on who steps up.

I understand that the men's basketball game tomorrow night starts at 9:00 pm. That's a problem, because of Laranaga's bedtime is about 9:30.

There is a reason ST26 gets an annual Canespace tribute by Soup. He was the G.O.A.T.!

Watching that I’m thinking he could of been Andre Johnson as a WR as well

Windy Aero,
Yeah Sean T was the G.O.A.T
As far as athletic talent goes I doubt we will ever see anyone else that could not only play every skill position, but play any position at an elite level.
