Jacory Harris. Aldarius Johnson. Sean Spence. Marcus Forston. Kendal Thompkins. Tommy Streeter. Ben Jones. Brandon Washington. Six of eight saw serious playing time last year and all the above will make their presence felt as soon as this season kicks off. Years from now, you will see some – if not all – in the NFL, while the Miami program is again thriving based on the leap of faith all eight took a few years back.
Miami saw a similar class in 1997 when Butch Davis reeled in some superstars ready to make a difference. The Canes went 9-3 in 1996 and even with an influx of talent a year later, still stumbled to a 5-6 season. Some of the talent in that February ’97 class – Martin Bibla, Najeh Davenport, Daryl Jones, Dan Morgan, Ed Reed and Reggie Wayne. Davis even brought Santana Moss in with that class on a track scholarship.
The Herald’s Susan Miller Degnan did a write up on the Northwestern kids and the bond that’s carried over to the U Family. Check it out when you get a chance. A great reminder of the bond that Canes have, in this case dating back to their successful high school days.
