Signing Day is in the books, but the Miami Hurricanes and head coach Al Golden remain busy with one new recruits for the 2013 class and two verbals for next season.
Earlier this week the Canes picked up Ryheem Lockley, a 6-foot-4, 217-pound athlete who will play wideout and tight end this coming season at Middlesex High School in Virginia. Lockley is a three-star prospect.
More exciting, due to the fact the signing can help this current class, the addition of Cornelius Elder, a 5-foot-11, 170-pound four-star athlete out of Nashville. Elder is a two-sport athlete who will play football and basketball (a three-star point guard) at Miami. UM has always been his dream school and the minute the offer was offered, Elder committed.
The latest addition came on Wednesday when Hialeah High athlete Alin Edouard called Miami assistant Mario Cristobal and verbally committed. Edouard is another local product who wants to put UM back on the map and after attending Junior Day at ‘The U’ last weekend, he was sold.
Edouard is a soft commit who will take other visits and as a quarterback he threw for 1,956 yards and 18 touchdowns (with 556 rushing yards and 7 rushing scores).
The recruiting for 2014 is in full force, while the addition of the four-star Elder to the 2013 class boosted Miami’s ranking with ESPN, Rivals and Scout.
Yeah yeah we know golden great but yet was 0-14 against winning mac teams and has yet to bet fsu or decent team with a decent record at that…keep drinking the kool- aid…..
Blah, blah, blah.
Temple was a f’n doormat when he took over. 3-31 a few year prior to his arrival and he got them to their third bowl in school history, going 9-4 and then 8-4 his final year, where a second bowl berth should’ve come, but didn’t. Steve Addazio then got them to a bowl the next year, with Golden’s team.
Anyone regurgitating that tired, “he never beat a MAC team with a winning record” misses the entire point as to how shitty a program Temple was and the fact he did ANYTHING during his time there is a flat-out miracle. He took a program that was DEAD IN THE WATER and made it a bowl contender. Period. End of story. Enough of the bullshit MAC stats from the anti-Golden folk.
Great, he hasn’t beat Florida State — a team that started out top five each of the two years he was at Miami, while he took over a shit program, 35-29 prior to his arrival, with a broken culture and completely out of shape. The first game he watched from the booth was the Sun Bowl against Notre Dame where our dummies were stoned (per former DB Ryan Hill) and having snowball fights while getting their dicks pushed in by the Irish.
Please. It’s been two years coaching a garbage team, with suspensions and guys leaving / getting kicked out, while the NCAA cloud has hovered and killed recruiting.
You’re really going to fly some “Al Golden sucks” flag at this point of his tenure at Miami? Please. You’re clueless if that’s your agenda, Allan. Seriously.
Let’s see what the 2013 and 2014 Canes do. If Miami goes 7-5 and 6-6 the next two seasons, then talk about running Al out of town and few will argue — but now? After he’s stuck around though bullshit that ANY OTHER COACH would’ve bailed out on?
You’re off base, man. Big time.
