Miami Hurricanes News and Notes

- Recruiting season is heating up.  Miami’s 2012 class somehow sits at #6 on Scout.com’s rankings, and #7 on Rival.com’s.  The fact that Golden is doing this with impending NCAA sanctions looming overhead is unfathomable.  With less than 10 days to go until Signing Day, there is still room for improvement.  Still, anything near the top 10 is a coup considering the situation we’re in.

- Of the top 25 recruiting classes ranked on Scout and Rivals, only one school has over 30 commits.  Miami.  Yet another recruit, TE Dwayne Hoilett, will enroll early thus counting towards last year’s class.  This frees up some much needed space in this year’s class.  Whether it be enrolling early or coming in as a walk on, there are several legal ways around the 25 scholarship per class limit.

- Man, as a Dolphins fan I can’t take another Tom Brady Super Bowl.  5 in 11 years?  Meanwhile the Phins haven’t played in a Super Bowl in 27 years.  27!  There’s only 16 teams in the AFC.  Ugh.  I like the Philbin hire.  That dude kinda looks like Larry Coker.  Let’s just hope he doesn’t coach like Coker.

Quick Hits: As I said, once Pacquiao agreed to the testing, Mayweather would think of something else – and sure enough, demanding more than 50-50 is it.  If anything, Pacquiao is the bigger draw and deserves the higher percentage….Watched ‘The Ides of March’ over the weekend.  Eh, kinda slow in the beginning but got better as it went along and was OK….Nice to see Duke Johnson upgraded to a 5 star recruit, but does it really matter?  I’m looking forward to next year and think that he will get lots of playing time….Coughlin totally should have given Harbaugh the ‘Power Shake’ at the end of OT.
