Yo! Yo! Yo!

Sarasota 'cane

I watched the UM baseball team blow a 6 point lead last night. The same night the Rays failed to win their 14th straight. Very frustrating! But at least the Canes won the series.

Go ‘canes!

Terrance Sullivan

Well I saw improvement from last year Spring Game to this year’s Spring Game! Hopefully we can go from an awful 5-7 to 8-4 this year! Not satisfying but would at least show we are getting better! I didn’t even predict a bowl result just a regular season record! At least our Canes Baseball Team won the Series against Top 15 Ranked UNC at Their Place! Go Canes!

We need big DT's, Bear Alexander jumped in the portal. Was at Geogia.

Looked like he was a likely USC lean, Herb, but who knows

TSully...8-4? EIGHT AND FOUR???

Aint gonna get it done Sir.

If that happens, just another dumpster fire.

Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o
CB come and me want one more

Herbieibis

I don't know who's recruiting the DT position but 2 in the last years ain't cutting it, high school kids that is.
Brown needs to desperately RS. Dude is a good athlete but passing is going to take some time, so we need a portal QB but will be hard to find to be a backup.
Portal needs, Big WR with speed, space eating DT, RB looks like Citizen will be out a good while longer, Safety and CB or 2.

Terrance Sullivan

Soupster I agree I just don’t have much confidence in this Staff and Team Sadly!

Damn Looking at the pics with the article, that orange tie dates me bigly as far as the U history goes. I might as well be wearing bell bottoms and tie dye.

The Wong and Winding Woad is Over. Off to the NBA

Herbieibis

Dylan Day DB from Louisana has committed. 6'0 170.

JCane

Christopher Wheatley-Humphrey, rb, from South Broward, committed a few hours ago.

JCane

And good luck to I. Wong, as he chooses to move on. Not sure if he'll get drafted or not, but I am appreciative of the young man and what he meant to the deepest tnmt run by a UM team ever.

orange 'n green in the vein

Wong put his name in the draft the last two years to get feedback on his prospects, hopefully he hears his LifeWallet ACC POY endorsement contract makes comparable money in a less taxing season coming back one more go, but, he's basically maxed out his sell high value at this point too. He can still come back and reset the record books before they hang up his jersey number but if he doesn't Poplar's going to be a big shooting guard and Watson will be your likely slightly undersized small forward, which isn't ideal but can probably still work.

Canespacer from Back In The Day

You guys need some new pics LOL

We'll be better this year. 8-4 seems reasonable.

GO CANES!

We'll be perhaps 2-3 games better in record, but with the team trending 180 degrees in the opposite direction from the end of the 2022 season.

Mira Mirabal Minaya Miami

Herbieibis

Like how Mario is loading up with the 3 star brigade. Juan Miniya is a Cane minus any stars. U can make the case that stars don't matter, then u look at Bama, Georgia and OSU, which maybe combined they bring in 3 to 4 three star players a year and watch a loaded Georgia team devour TCU.

JCane

Minaya is a VERY big 16 y/o, so given his size, athleticism, etc., I'm good with this signing, regardless of stars, even if it takes 2 years as a project, other than how many folks simply transfer prior to emergence now. I expect the bulk of 4 and 5 star verbals are more likely to be in the summer than now.

I like this very much.

Jabari Ishmael to the portal

VA Cane

I see and say 8-4....but with a porous OL an unsteady QB who is over rated (I expected a lot more...he has been disappointing good season was a fluke) and a defense that cannot and will not tackle....and a staff and a HC that does not understand coaching the fundamentals of all 3 phases.....whew....we will slip up against someone and be 7-5.....and with Bethune Cookman Miami of Ohio Temple on the schedule...that to me is 4-5...no bowl....my HS team would rag those 3 teams....and probably give UM a serious game....I swear....so to me its another bad year in a bad 20 years....hate to feel that way....but its the truth. Hope I am wrong....but have felt hopeful for 20 years now...and its been all bad

TonyCane

Rumor out there that Tyler is being heavily courted by Alabama and is considering a transfer

Hey 86, I see all the great pictures that you show. But, how come I am always left out?❤️ I loved it so much when I flew down for a game and you picked me up and drove me to the hotel. Meeting all the Canespacers was so magical for me. So long ago. Do you remember what year it was? Hard for me to pinpoint it. Going to be 75 in July, and I don’t always remember everything. Refresh my memory. ❤️

VA Cane


TVD, aka Mike Rapaport is rumored to be moving on!....My banker, a wonderful older lady and big Bama fan said she heard that from some alum she knows....hard to say. Saban is a good judge of talent....but lets face it....his first year he was good...and I think lucky more than good. People have scouted him and know what he can and cannot do...pressure is every QBs enemy....TVD ummm not extremely mobile....so last year with that OL he was pressured a lot....and he got hurt.

Is he good or just another failed UM QB? hard to say....we have not had a good QB since KD11 so I do not know.

I would not blame him though....I said last year I would not be surprised if he did....hard to blame him with the OLs he has had.

I look forward to the season...I always do...but I think its another one of those well ho hum years. I guess thats good...every time I think we are turning the corner and are back....I do that very cautiously its a bad one. So I do not want to expect too much 7-5 is well...average...nothing to get too excited about. I hope I am wrong...but I think middle of the pack...4 or 5 losses...as long as it is not 6 or 7...I guess thats good.

Almost 15 years ago Miami beat VT 16-14 behind three Matt Bosher FGs. Here is the VT game summary from the Hojies site. Read until the end!

Ohio_Cane

TVD is leveraging more money with this Bama crap. He'd be 3rd string at best at Bama right now...

Ohio_Cane

He's worried that when he's a 7th round draft pick, or worse, UDFA, he'll need all the saved up $ he can get

MLALUMNI 1970

Thank you so much, Tom. Great memories for me. You are the best. Loved the basketball season, but not sure about the upcoming football season. Looks like Cristobal is going all out for talent, but we may have to wait a little longer, to be great again. Love to all the Canespacers, out there.❤️

Herbieibis

We don't need him gone yet but if he does leave, we could be sunk. Although Brown is a very good athlete, he ain't there yet as a passer. If we could combine Brown's running ability, with Van Dykes passing, we would have a stud QB but of course it's nothing more than a dream.

orange 'n green in the vein

Rees got that dejected stalker energy all around his bad play calls. Lots of these rumor mill blobbers got the exact same energy to their posts. Not a coincidence?

Van Dyke would walk in as QB 1 to a vast majority of FBS program rooms on their campuses, including the one that has a combined 1 career start returning to it out towards Terrance, if you think otherwise, you are cursed with a putrid eye of talent. Tyler is a measurable day 2 pick at a position of need based on body dimensions and throwing ability alone, a great season distributing the football to where it needs to go will only boost that up. Maybe overrated Steele's only base defenses will get the gaps plugged up reliably enough to boost the high school superstars pulling the trigger on the other side of the line of scrimmage there to get someone higher up the draft board than Tyler ends up going, but to imply they'd beat Miami's starter out for an open job is assuming a lot to begin with at this juncture.

Terrance Sullivan

I’m over TVD and his shenanigans he can stay or go for all I care! Dude is rapidly becoming more trouble than he’s worth! Just Win Baby! Go Canes!

Old Skool

Bear Alexander to USC. Probably good marketing opportunities with a name like that ... if he delivers on the field.

VA Cane

Had not seen much on this but how did we miss out on LB Willis McGahee IV......linebacker...24th ranked...he goes to Nebraska? really?....Michigan Auburn Tenn recruiting him....where were we? Supposed to be a good edge rusher good player....hmmmmmm...after the career his dad had here how do we not have some kind of in....SMDH

CGNC

VA - LOL, one Nebraska winter and I predict he is in the portal :)

Ohio_Cane

Norchad Omier enters name in NBA draft, but leaves door open to return to college, according to Manny Navarro

Herbieibis

Will see after this cycle, whether we need Salavea to take a hike. Questionable recruiter in my opinion.

orange 'n green in the vein

His feedback will be essentially this:

Potential Dennis Rodman starter kit, undersized, has to cut down on his turnovers, has to improve his low post shot fake to increase his rate of contact sending him to the line on shot attempts in the lane, will need to be able to defend reliably better out at the arc to carve out a roster role whether off the bench in rotation or as a starter taking care of a superstar running crew's dirty work.

Strong oversized defenders could blunt his effectiveness in college offensively, so he's got to work on his jump shot range, his ability to get a defender up to go under for the and one opportunity and he has to show he can guard small forwards reliably away from the basket at the next level, which means at least one more year in college where he'll be chucking defenders off him regularly next season with another year of development in college and a few more pounds of muscle stuffed into his already pro-conditioned upper-body frame. His shot form is ok, a little slow on attempt releases because he has a lot of knee bend and leg motion to generate shooting range right now, if he can refine that to just jumping higher, faster, and putting more range responsibility into his flick of his wrist on release backspin it'll make him more dangerous from range which will signal he's ready to try and hang on one more level of development up at that point.

Daylight came and he had to go home

For sure CGNC.....cold cold there...not read a lot on him but I understand he was a good player....are we missing something here?

We got to stay on these kids!

CGNC…has there yet to be a South Florida commit who did not transfer from Nebraska after the first winter?

Thomas Davis, DE, hits the portal.

Herbieibis

Better get on the ball adding a few needed pieces before the portal shuts down.

Ohio_Cane

We're supposedly adding multiple pieces from the portal any day now. DL, CB, etc. Needed pieces

MLALUMNI 1970

D J Ivey and Will Mallory were the only Canes picked in the draft.
Better luck next year.❤️ GO CANES
