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.
