Terry Parker High School lineman Tavadis Glenn committed to the Hurricanes officially on Wednesday. The 6’5″ and 265-pound four-star recruit says his recruiting days are done. It’s Miami and nobody else.
Glenn was recently hit by a car and suffered a hip injury, which is expected to completely heal. While some other universities took their offers off the table, Miami stuck by Glenn – to which he credits the early commitment. Glenn had over a dozen offers on the table, including LSU, South Carolina, Southern Cal, Tennessee and nearby Florida and Florida State.
The caveat here is that Signing Day remains ten months away. I completely get that.
The same way I defend the fact that any local talent looking elsewhere could remain home, truth is both Glenn and Nix are simply verbal commits and until they’re officially signed up and on campus, it’s all theory. Still, it’s good theory and proof that Miami coaches continue tirelessly recruiting and building for the future. Hopefully this program’s toughest critics remember these small victories along the way. Seems only ‘bad’ news is front page news and the focus remains on the ones who got away instead of those who got on board.
The U reeled in a total score of 89, ten points higher than Texas. The five categories were worth 20 points a piece with Miami scoring a 20 in the ‘bikini’ category, 17 in ‘sex’, 20 in ‘campus’, 12 in ‘sports’ and 20 in ‘brains’. UM was the only school to garner a perfect score in the ‘brains’ category… as well as ‘bikini’. Not too shabby.
The ‘ol party school list sure means a lot more when you’re actually in college, on campus and taking part in the festivities. Still, nice that Miami fans can finally cheer, “we’re #1” for the first time in a few years.

I'm loving that bus and the rims tight!!!
Playboy is a disgusting magazine, and I don't want the U to to be featured in its pages at all.
Also, the party school label is ridiculous. Go into the Library on any Sunday - you will have a hard time even finding a seat due to so many people studying.
Stupid Magazine.
I'd be much more excited if there was an early signing period...
That is the greatest bus/car EVER!
So much for the theory that we are having trouble recruiting. Two right from UF Territory. Can't wait until next year to have us prove them all wrong.
GO CANES!
it's too bad we're only a 12 in sports.. i miss the good ole days.
Meh, too early to talk recruiting.
The party school thing is just ridiculous, every school every where has parties. Texas is pretty badass though, I was there over spring break and their bar/live music scene is awesome.
305, you think we're really going to grab three top-tier Defensive Linemen in this class? All speculation, of course.
On the side: really unfortunate our bats have gone arctic on the diamond. UNC disgusts me. Also Clemson. Really, the ACC has no where to hide, & I get that these kids have been playing somewhat over themselves all year.
I love playboy, and I love the fact that we are pulling them right out of gator country. Can't wait for next season.
That bus is tight. We need to get one of those in Virginia so I can drive it to UVA and VA Tech the nex time the canes play there. I would probablly get shot by one of those po dunk red necks. But it would be fun. I just wanted to say this. I think the commits we have gotten already says a lot about how randy and clint and his staff handle themselves by staying by kids and not only that about how they are recruiting. Manny needs to take a break with his articles on how randy is losing grip on his local kids and areas. I think we have 5-6 commits right now. If i know correct all are 4 stars or higher depending who rates them. Not bad when we are 9 or so months from signing day. I read today randy is already recruiting the 2011 class. The man is a monster when it comes to this. He is building depth. Another 2-3 years i have been saying. The U will be back. You have to build depth. Manny and others need to calm down. Also. Lets say we lose a couple south florida kids. Guess what we will still get some as well, probablly the ones that randy wants. Not only that. We are getting top flight players from gator and seminole country as well. We are recruiting the entire state. And recruiting it well. We will be just fine. Remember this, No more country club larry running the show. We have a dedicated, smart man running the show. They are getting this thing back on the right track. GO CANES!!!!
Va Cane
