Canes Rebound from Big Loss with Solid Win Over Virginia Tech.

Canes Rebound from Big Loss with Solid Win Over Virginia Tech.  Miami defeated the Hokies 82 - 75 at the Bank United Center.  The Canes at one point hold a 19 point lead in the 2nd half and the Hokies made a Game of it, pulling within 5 in the last few minutes. The win snapped a 4 Game Losing Streak which included a 22 point lost to Maryland. The game leaders in points for the Canes included James Dews with 21, Malcolm Grant with 13, and Duran Scott scored 12 points. Miami is now 2-5 in the ACC with a 16 and 5 record overall. Miami would need to win 7 out of its last 9 to get into the NCAA Tourney.

Jeffrey Brown Commits to the U

Miami picks up another “Sleeper” recruit. Jeffrey Brown out of Evanston Township Illinois made a verbal commit to the U this weekend. Miami was his only offer from a BCS school, which has became an increasing trend for Miami. Jeffrey is a two Star recruit and is looking to be a long term project and not an immediate fix for the Canes, who were thin after injuries most of 2009. The bright side for Jeffrey is that he was a High School Wrestler, which should help him shed blockers on the inside.

Recruiting Update

With less than two weeks less until National Signing Day the Canes got their newest commit with Buffalo (N.Y.) Canisius High linebacker Jimmy Gaines. Jimmy is an unheralded High School player and Miami was competing with the University of Buffalo.


Another commitment may be Asante Cleveland out of Christian Brothers near Sacramento California. Rumor on the street is that Asante is a Miami Lean and Canes Fans should expect him to fax in his letter of intent on National Signing Day.

Next weekend is the last weekend for potential Canes to come for a Visit and we should expect a big weekend.
