I would think they would be the 1st major school to offer him giving its in the back back yard aka ""The state of Miami"

on top of that his family ties to the program

 

[DeadsetAce]

I mean they offered him as a QB today. They had previously offered as WR/DB if I'm not mistaken, but he wanted a shot at QB.

Hearing reports James Franklin is taking the PSU job; I'd be so stoked

moms must have realized how far that trek to Tucson really was

May have cost them Lammons (?)

I think Lammons will stick but I have written off JC Jackson... Now if Adoree comes, which I doubt, then I think Lammons is gone

Adoree is either USC or LSU.

If USC's track program wasn't struggling as of late that's where he'd go 100%.  As much as he wants to play football and as enticing as the idea of starting right away at SC is, he's said he wants to run in the Olympics.  Ultimately he'll go wherever he sees making that happen.

I thought he wanted to long jump in college and not even run?

They're getting a good one.

LOL. He's unlikely to ever end up playing QB. It's more that he's a Booker T kid, great athlete that could play DB/WR, U bloodlines, and they didn't at least tell him that he could get a shot at QB until now.

Luke's Gospel

Louisville Destroyed Miami With Local Kids Who Used to Love the U

By Luther Campbell Tue., Dec. 31 2013 at 8:30 AM 51 Comments

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Uncle Luke, the man whose booty-shaking madness made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. This week, Luke addresses why the U is no longer black Miami's favorite college.

At the Russell Athletic Bowl last weekend, Teddy Bridgewater and his University of Louisville teammates from Miami went on a riot. They looted the University of Miami football program they grew up rooting for and demolished it 36-9. Bridgewater and fellow Miamians Michaelee Harris, Eli Rogers, John Miller, Charles Gaines, and James Burgess Jr. showed the Canes nation that they are the ones bringing back the swagger.

These young men all had a chance to play for the Hurricanes. However, they didn't need the U as much as the U needed them. They chose to leave the Magic City for the backwoods of Kentucky to make a statement. Miami's African-American football community hasn't forgotten how UM President Donna Shalala and school boosters ran coach Randy Shannon out of town after using him for more than 20 years to land tough-as-nails, super talented high school football players from Homestead to Liberty City.

It took Shannon three years to clean up the program, which had dozens of football players not finishing school and one student athlete, Bryan Pata, get murdered. Shannon accepted the role of drill sergeant in order to produce one of the highest graduation rates in the country among football players and put an end to troubling off-the-field incidents.

We always knew that Shannon was on borrowed time and that school president Donna Shalala was never going to give him the kind of long-term commitment she's showing Al Golden, the Hurricanes' current head coach. Shannon also knew he didn't have job security because the school made him fly commercial and rent a Ford Taurus. So when Shalala and the university's Board of Trustees gave Shannon his pink slip in 2010, they thought recruits like Bridgewater, Harris, and Rodgers would just roll over and still be Hurricanes.

We don't have a voice on sports talk radio or in the Miami Herald's sports section calling out the U for treating young African-American men as tools to make the school richer. UM expects the local black community to tell a prized recruit it's all about the U. That's why Orlando's Citrus Bowl stadium was packed with black people from Miami rooting for Bridgewater and the Cardinals.

After starring at Northwestern Senior High, Bridgewater and his high school teammates opted to make their future with another African-American head coach, Charlie Strong. That decision speaks volumes. They are part of a historical movement of college football players who don't feel obligated to swear allegiance to the traditionally great schools.

To his credit, Strong lets his squad play with the reckless abandon and swagger that once inspired Miami's inner-city boys to wear orange and green. That's why Gaines talked smack to UM coaches on the sideline, telling them how they've screwed up the program. And it's why Bridgewater mocked the U with a throat-slashing gesture after scoring a touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

I hope Shalala is paying attention. She should offer Strong the head coaching job when Al Golden bolts for Penn State.

Vandy going after Derek Mason?

Coaching carousel this past season has been entertaining to say the least

 

[ak nako]

The usc/ lsu comes from the guy who covers usc who used to work at sierra right?

--------
TRob n nem been known jc gone tho. Him and Lane

All the USC writers I've been reading have said that adoree and friends have intimated as much, and some of USC's recent moves have been to lure him, but he's playing it so close to the chest who really knows.

Yeah I believe you're right Mike. I had read that (and SC fans were arguing that their long jumpers have been good) don't know why I used the word "run" instead of "compete".

 

[thug]

Tre mason going to the NFL

 

[do work son]

Look at Petrino

 

[herbshuttles15]

Perryman coming back but if he got legit second round grades he should of left

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Flourish young man, Flourish.

Kevin Steele to Louisville as their new DC?

 

[dacomeup]

Doubt Denzel got a 2nd round grade if he's staying.

Seeing WVU/FSU for Tyrek Cole.

 

[herbshuttles15]

UF offered Powell, heavy duffle bags coming from Gainesville right now, they been cleaning up this week

And it looks like he might be gone

 

[imlive365]

Where am I beating my chest besides the facts that we produce Elite NFL talent, have great academics and would WASH your team??   Every time I post one of you Miami thots come out of nowhere talking slick and giving us a history lesson disregarding how irrelevant Miami Football has been on saturdays the past 10 years. Ya'll suck, deal with it and stop worrying about UGA. We straight.

We lost to Louisville with a number one draft pick. Y'all lost to Nebraska with a damn back up qb. Both our seasons went down hill with injuries but you act like your damn team won 11 games and won a bcs game. And y'all produce elite NFL talent... LOL
