• Eager to restore the tradition of great Canes tight ends, UM not only has oral commitments from two of them (Phoenix-based Billy Sanders and possible offensive tackle Cory White from near Jacksonville) but also ''has as good a chance as anyone'' to lure Orson Charles, rivals.com's No. 1 tight end prospect for the Class of '09, said Tampa Plant High coach Robert Weiner.
Weiner, who compares Charles to the ''original'' Kellen Winslow, said Charles is friends with UM and former Tampa Plant quarterback Robert Marve -- a factor that could help Miami against Florida, FSU, LSU, Georgia and others.

Never! :wink2:
Great read. I am so happy that we are on the right track and are back to getting talent from our own backyards. We had a great draft class and now all we need is a year to gain the chemistry. I would expect us to be back to competitiveness in the start of the 09 season.
Time will tell if Shannon was indeed a mistake or not. Recruiting has been good so far, but you'll need good coaches to get full potential from these kids. And I'm glad I can park safely now when watching the Canes. I will enjoy my time at Dolphins stadium.
MuckRetired AdminWhy in the world would Donald Trump write Donna Shalala a 'told-you-so' letter (other than he's a Grade A douchebag)?
Why on earth would he care?
Make the throwback uniforms permanent!

I think you probably answered your own question there. I didn't think Leach was ever seriously considered by the Canes. It sounded like it was just Schiano and Shannon, with a Hail Mary lobbed in the direction of Barry Alvarez.
