Recruiting Update

One of the top Offensive Line Prospects in the Country, Brandon Linder committed to the U this weekend.  A long sought after prospect picked the Canes over Notre Dame, Florida, Ohio State, Florida State, Georgia and Stanford. 

This has been a tough month for the Canes for Recruiting, losing Long Time commits to Notre Dame and USF. 

Rumor has it that the Canes have also recieved commit from Jermaine Barton.  Jermaine is an offensive lineman from St. Thomas Aquinas H.S. (Florida) with Linder.  Offensive Line is a must Get this year for the Canes and they have done well number wise.

Canes Display New Uni's

The Miami Hurricanes displayed their new Uniforms Saturday during the Game with University of South Florida. The Canes were part of 11 Teams that have Displayed Nike's New Pro Combat Uniforms. They are reportedly 30 percent Lighter than previous Uniforms.


They look 10 times better than the bra straps that Miami has been wearing over the last 3 years. The remind Canes Fans of the old Storm Trooper Uniforms with White on White. Nike should add player’s number to the right side of the Shoulder with the "U" on the other side

Not only have they been a hit with fans, more importantly they have been a huge hit with recruits. The Canes can use all the help in that regard.  

 

Canes Bully the Bulls

Miami Cruises Past USF  31 - 10


On Rivalry weekend for College football, Miami played a Non-Rival in State Foe. Even though USF believes it is rivals of the Big 3 in Florida, The Canes quickly put an end to the Discussion in the First Quarter of the Game.

The first score capped an 81 yard 12 play drive with J12 throwing a touchdown pass to Miami’s leading receiver Leonard Hankerson. Miami later capitalized on a B.J. Daniel’s turnover and Baby James scored on a 12 yard run. The play reminded a lot of Canes fans of his James Freshman year and what could have been.

Berry was the workhorse of the Canes 3rd Touch drive of the game with big carries of 19 and 17 yards respectively. Baby J also capped off this drive with a 4 yard run.

Brandon Harris showed some of his ball skills by picking off the next drive for USF. Miami drive stalled and they could not score the rest of the quarter giving Miami a comfortable 21 – 3 Halftime score.

Harris almost had a pick 6 in the beginning of the second half, but couldn’t contain the pass. It should have been the icing on the cake, but Miami’s inability to get interceptions continued from 2008 through 2009.

The only Miami highlights of the Bulls march down the field for a touchdown, was Randy’s calling timeouts at questionable times. If the D could have held on both of the 3rd down plays, they would have been good use of the timeouts, but they didn’t and the announcers continued to point out Shannon’s questionable game management skills.

The Canes offense struggled through the next few series, but J12 made good on a 33 yard touchdown reception to the wrong player. Luckily Epps was there for the catch that concluded his quiet senior regular season.

The Canes tacked on a field goal and the game ended up being an easy 31 – 10 Victory as Miami overwhelmed USF in every facet of the game.

Most of the Nation Failed to see the 4th quarter as ABC changed the game and ESPN blocked the game in 360.

The win provided Miami with its first 9 win season since 2005. Things seem to getting back to normal in CanesLand.
