Moore is exploding in recruiting. Interesting that he told me playing for Miami "would accomplish a long time dream"

Definitely a player to watch

Update interview with Pierre-Louis, he covers his connection with Miami with a bit about his time during his last visit with the Canes.

Don't worry U fans, we may make a bowl game this year. But for $30M coaching staff, I expected better - even with CMD's players. What a sh$t show.

With Miami essentially out of the Coastal Division race barring a miracle, does Miami get to six wins this season?

Final games are Florida State, Georgia Tech, Clemson and Pitt.

Miami wins how many of these last four and do you think they win a bowl game?

Many don’t believe. Who believes Miami will win and why? If you don’t believe, why?

Also, how are we feeling about Cristobal win or lose?

The production from the offense and the defense this season has been subpar.

Who should definitely be retained for next season? Or should both coordinators be retained for another year?

Or is this all on the players?

Just like his Mentor Saban and his colleague Kirby
Going to stacking elite talent on elite talent

Kirby said

It's 25 percent evaluation, it's 50 percent recruiting and another 25 percent coaching," Smart said. "But if you don't recruit guys, you don't have a chance. Just go look at the best teams out there. They've got good football players.

The importance of recruiting is well documented, but I don't think I've seen a coach blatantly say that 75% of his job/success happens before the players even step foot on campus.

Bret Bielema last year too ALOT of flack for his statement that was all TRUE

Answering a question about his approach to recruiting as a head coach, Bielema on Monday said: “I just know this: as a head coach, you’re only as good as your roster. I kind of learned that the first time I went to the Kentucky Derby. Nobody was betting on the jockeys, everybody was betting on the horses. To win the derby, you’ve got to have the right horse and I think our players are going to be a reflection of what our program stands for. I stood at the front of the room last year when I took over and said everybody is invited back because of COVID, they gave me the opportunity to do that. As this roster continues to transition, I’ve got to make tough decisions. The players have to make decisions. The roster is going to have to change to get to where we want to be to win a championship. I recognized that probably midway through the spring last year, through the summer. Certain positions haven’t probably played out the way they envisioned them to, in particular the offensive line. I don’t believe we have a player in the two-deep that they’ve recruited here over the last three [recruiting classes] that is really significantly doing anything for us in the playing department and that’s a major concern.”

Mario is not just trying to win games, if he did he would just run gimmicky offense , no Mario is looking to win National Championships

A Twitter Space with John H. Ruiz, Johnny Ruiz, and Diana Diaz hosted by Miami Hurricanes fan legend Dannyboycane this week.

CanesCounty.com was on hand and asking important questions.

The Ruiz family and Diana Diaz (Former newscaster for WSVN-7) discuss more of the LifeWallet Expansion, LifeWallet Sports Bar, the potential stadium at Tropical Park, an even bigger money commitment to NIL, ways to help Miami alumni with opportunities with current business, products or apparel in the future and more.

Appearances from one of our own staff writers in Anthony Yero and myself. Check out the link below to find out everything that was said last night. More good news is on the way for the Miami Hurricanes.

M'Pemba gives an overall update after visiting UGA over the weekend with upcoming OVs to LSU and Miami:

A look here heading into late November:

WR Key’Shawn Smith will enter the transfer portal on December 5th. We have mentioned it and discussed it a bit already in regards to him.

There will be more to come and we have some names that have been tossed around to us in the past three weeks that we will share soon.

The recruiting class and the future is the bright side of the Cristobal era so far. Interesting comments from the recruits we talked to after the game.
If Cristobal is able to land a top-ten class, it will be the most remarkable efforts in recruiting at the University of Miami.

Future is still very, very bright. The present not so much.

We grab a ****ing shovel

A source has revealed to CanesCounty.com that third-year sophomore running back Jaylan Knighton intends to enter the transfer portal when the 2022 regular season concludes.

The sophomore did not receive a carry to his credit over the course of Miami’s four-overtime away game win against the Virginia Cavaliers 14-12.

Knighton, the Canes star running back during the 2021 season with 11 total touchdowns, has had his fair share of struggles this season. Three fumbles over the course of four games and multiple injuries since the start of the 2022 season.

The third-year sophomore has carried the ball 43 times for 163 rushing yards in a reduced role this season with the emergence of Ole Miss transfer running back Henry Parrish Jr.

Knighton has carried the ball 240 times for 933 rushing yards and 9 rushing touchdowns on a 3.9 yards-per-carry average over the duration of his college career.

We’ll be updating this thread when we spot prospects at Hard Rock Stadium.

I have Miami as the top school for Brown after he released his top-four last night.

There is growing confidence that Tyler Van Dyke could be available to play next Saturday against Florida State.

Waiting to confirm during practice this week.

I understand that we all wanted amazing things to happen this year but realistically we should have seen these struggles coming. It will take a few years for Mario to get his players in place and it starts with the very different way of recruiting then the previous staff. I love what he has done so far with recruiting and can't wait to see how he finishes. I am hoping that we get bowl eligible and we can use the extra practices for the future.

Is it just me but seems like every time Leonard made an awesome play (TFL or sack) they pull him out. IMO keep the best players on the field.

Nice to have Mario here don't think that we've ever seen a visit list that loaded with so many big time recruits thru multiple cycles now we have to make a great showing and winning the game we need a complete game in all phases please go canes

1. Get TVD ready to go for the game.
2. Work out an NIL deal and get Mcgahee to come back for his last year if eligibility.😂😂

GO CANES!!!!

What would your guys ranking of the last five games look like?

Overall recruiting update with Noland. Noland previews his visit to Miami this weekend:

We may end up 4-8 and no bowl game this year. All star coaches (and top pay) with bush league results. But, it will get better by year five...
