So much for all that Robert Marve nonsense impacting recruiting season for the Canes. Miami didn’t land the entire ‘Sanford Trio’, but two out of three ain’t bad.
Ray Ray Armstrong (safety) and Dyron Dye (defensive end) are headed to The U, while teammate Andre Debose (wide receiver) is Gainesville-bound.
Armstrong threw a 40-yard, game-winning touchdown (to Dubose) in Samford’s 28-21 win over Miami Northwestern in this year’s national championship game.
Armstrong plays safety, linebacker and quarterback. He’s expected to boost the Canes’ secondary next season as a safety.
Dye had 65 tackles this season and caught three catches for 46 yards. ESPN said Dye’s quick get-off is second to none and that he’s non-stop, with a serious motor.
Last winter it was the Year of the Bull, with Miami Northwestern winning it all and The U winding up with a handful of national champions. A year later, Sanford Seminole stands atop the mountain, ironically enough, knocking off Northwestern. Meanwhile, Randy Shannon again lands some top talent from the nation’s best.
More winners from winning programs headed to Coral Gables, as promised.
The doom and gloom contingent of this fan base spent the past week swearing that this Marve saga would have a negative impact on recruiting. Not quite. Armstrong and Dye are huge pick ups for Miami, with more to come.
It’ll take more than an emotional rant from a former player’s disgruntled father to slow down Shannon and staff. A father who since retracted his harsh words, ate some crow and offered his apology, I might add.
Miami currently has 19 commitments for the 2009 recruiting class. Today’s two four-stars are Miami’s tenth and eleventh in this year’s class.
After offensive tackle Xavier Nixon tossed a Miami hat aside and pledged Florida, Brown stated, “he will pay for that”, a strong indicator that the Canes are still the team to beat.

This news couldn't have come at a better time. The whole trio would've been nice, but if Miami was going to only land two, these were the ones.
There's enough talent at wide receiver and enough speed. Travis Benjamin, Davon Johnson and Thearon Collier fill the Andre Dubose role. Miami also has the big time Andre Johnson type guys in LaRon Byrd, Aldarius Johnson and hopefully Tommy Streeter, if he gets healthy and hits the ground running.
Safety and defensive line are two places the Canes need depth. Ray Ray Armstrong is sick. I was at the Samford title game against NW. Dyron Dye is a player too.
And as you mentioned, all coming days after Mr. Marve insulted the U and coach Shannon. It proved that talented kids know better than to believe disgruntled stage parents like Eugene or biased, idiot writers who are looking for an angle, like that guy on Yahoo! who trashed Miami after all this Marve business took place.
Welcome to the U! Now let's clean up across the state and reel in another top notch class!!!!
Hey Canes, what's up with that Orange Bowl DVD you guys are advertising on this page? Any good? Description sounds cool, but wondered if you had watched it yet. Thanks. ----- Tony C.
You've got it spelled here "Sanford," Samford," and "Stanford."
You also got Debose's name wrong.
Good news is you didn't have to type "freshmen" or "linemen," which means you didn't spell it "freshman" or "lineman."
And, lucky for us, you didn't talk about the fans once. Never read a blogger with more contempt and false superiority for fellow fans... Particularly one who calls his blog posts "articles" and doesn't know how to use a spellchecker.

Accidentally posted before I was done. Sue me.

No I didn't...

Funny guy. Thankfully I didn't have to spell Matias, either.

(1) If you don't like it, don't read it. I could give a s**t.
(2) Start your own site. You seem to have all the answers.
(3) Error(s) fixed. Thanks for being so swell about it.
I'm pretty sure Matias is the nerd in school, who never got laid because he was too busy doing other peoples homework! Lay off my boy smart guy!!
Matias, you're a moron. This is an informative site and offer's one man's perspective on the state of the Canes. Personally, I happen to agree with most of what 305 says here.
If you want to find your fair share of morons, log onto any message board and spend 20 minutes on there. Canesport, Canestime or even the comments sections at Herald.com. Talk about idiots who think they have all the answers and that everyone else doesn't have a clue.
305 defends the program, calls players or coaches out when deserved and always supports his arguments. What do you do? I mean, besides heavily critique the work of others, while offering nothing of value. What's your take on things? Enlighten us.
Also, aren't you being rather contempt in your attempt to insult and trash the writer who runs this blog? I'm just saying.
