Please discuss anything 'Canes related.
For example:
10-0 to start the season in basketball. Frank Haith has those guys moving in the right direction. Would be nice to try to run the table before they begin ACC play.

Thoughts??

It had to happen. The next question is, does ed orgeron come home? Or does Randy run the defense himself for a year? Orgeron is one of the best recruiters in the country, it would be great to have him here running the defense and helping the U recruit.

How about Football recruiting...
Rivals in notorius for being anti-Cane to the point of moving guys up or down in rankings depending on where they look like they will commit....yet UM has 10 and potentially 11 of Rivals top 100, if they land Matt Patchen, Patrick Johnson and they already got commit from AB....with more to come.
Arthur Brown
Marcus Fortson
Sean Spence
Jacory Harris
Marcus Robinson
Ramon Buchanan
Davon Johnson
Aldarius Johnson...plus plenty more..........
The tide has turned..........8/9 wins next year and competing for NC in 09.

Maybe Michael Barrow gets a shot? Although, he has virtually no experience.

I doubt Orgeron would be very welcome on campus. Barrow just has no experience, although I think he is Shannon's project and a great recruiter. My guess would be that they go outside and get someone like a Brian Van Gorder or M. Stoopes, but that is just my guess...............personally I like the Van Gorder idea.. With the talent the U has brought in last year and is getting this year...you are going to work pretty darn hard to not be successful. The downside is that the expevctation level because of last years class and this years anticipated class is that we are not going to expect BCS bowl games for long ... we are going to want NC's!!!!
No kidding, I have followed recruiting for 20 plus years, and even though I am a Cane fan, if they get Matt Patchan and Patrick Johnson then this along with USC 2005, Ohio State 2001 and Florida back in 86 or 87 (the Smith/Culpepper/Myles/Dixon/Paulk/McCoy class) will be the best recruiting class I can remember. Way back then you had to actually talk to the Bill Buckhalter's of the world and I was in Florida so I saw a lot of those guys. This class with those Patchan and PJ would be off the charts. Even without those two it is a great class, those two could make it historic.
Desidesforum_veteranESPN has just announced that #1-ranked OLB Arthur Brown will attend Miami.
"Not you." — Tywin Lannister
I didn't even think about Van Gorder, that is a good thought. Especially with the Falcons coaching staff in shambles, there have already been rumors up here in Atlanta that he wants to get back into the college game. That being said, I think Van Gorder might be a temporary fix and not a long term solution. He would jump ship in a couple of year's when a D-I college comes calling for a head coaching position. I like the Michael Barrow idea, maybe after Van Gorder leaves, but not yet.

Is he from North Western too?

No he is from Wichita Kansas, which is why he is a huge get. Proves Shannon can go get players anywhere. He may not land them but he is also in the running for Perry from Detroit at DL, and a couple DB's from Cali. Problem is the kids he has on the hook are probably better than those kids the exception being Perry. AB has 4.45 speed, amazing WR type body control, power at the point and really no holes in his game. Rivals has a couple 2 star guys, Zach Kane being the biggest Rivals has underrated along with Brandon Marti. Kane is a 215 lb. LB that has been downgraded because he has a huge temper and plays reckless, but man can that 2 star guy play. This class could go down as one for the ages, and even if they shoot an airball on Patchen, PJ and Holton they are still a top 3 class, but I think they get one of them maybe more. Also AB's brother is a top rated RB for 09, so obviously they have the inside track with him also....things they are a changin!!!!

BTW, AB is the best HS linebacker I have seen since Scot Brantley came out of Ocala.................way back........including Derrick Brooks, Derrick Thomas, and a a bunch of other great HS LB's. Another of the best I saw play in person was Mike D'Andrea...too bad injuries ruined his career at OSU.

This is the Canes best chance of beating the Gators in basketball! Do it now, before they grow up.

ain't that the truth, that team (Gators)will be awesome when the Lake Brantley kids get into a rotation and get comfortable....Cane basketball is a fluke this year....IMHO
had to be done . . . the play calling was attrocious on D this year . . . in the Virginia game . . . they looked WORSE than they did against LSU in the Peach Bowl that year . . . and I thought that would be impossible. I know Randy hasn't gotten his players in yet, and I don't blame him, it was bound to happen . . . but not to have the defense prepared in certain games . . . and to have them going the wrong way on plays is IMO coaching and someone needs to take the fall. To be ranked 30th on D, with top 5 talent just isn't acceptable (top 5 talent because they have arguably 2 of the first 10 defensive player to be selected in the draft . . . Phillips/Campbell)

I am a big UM fan but both those guys are overrated. One encouraging thing is that probably 10 guys that came in last year or are committed now have that type potential on defense.
The class Shannon is putting together may be the greatest of all time if it holds.

I agree totally Omar, and if you were to rank back to back classes these two also could be the best ever. Certainly in the top 3.....

I disagree but we'll have to wait until they begin ACC play this year.
A 20 win season is possible and so is a tournament berth. We are already halfway there. :wink2:

TRAVIS BENJAMIN JUST COMMITTED...man this gets better and better!!!
HS Coach is Willie Sneed...ex Gator BTW......
Rivals 4 Star Recruit, and previous FSU commit, Safety CJ Holton has give The U a solid verbal commit. Another very solid recruit. Coach Shannon keeps adding to this class to make it one of the best Miami has ever seen.
The RevadminCORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- Jack McClinton scored 17 points to lead five Hurricanes in double figures as the No. 22 Miami men's basketball team defeated North Carolina A&T, 95-64, on Sunday to stretch its season-opening win streak to 12 games.
