Opening Night

[CaneDaddy]

Here are some highlight tweets from the Canes drills and scrimmage:

Miami Basketball ‏@CanesHoops The Canes have begun 2012-13 moving at warp speed & Reggie is dunking every play. Different than last year's teach/learn 1st practice.

Miami Basketball ‏@CanesHoops Kadji has lost 20 pounds since last season and is getting up and down the court much faster. Jekiri runs like a deer.


Miami Basketball ‏@CanesHoops Big Regg just hit 48 threes in four minutes. We have shooters at all positions.


Miami Basketball ‏@CanesHoops Have you heard that Bishop Daniels is quick? That's an understatement.

Miami Basketball ‏@CanesHoops
Daniels leads the fast break to Brown and Akpejiori follows the play with a dunk. The Canes will run this year. Guards AND bigs.

Miami Basketball ‏@CanesHoops
Julian Gamble just finished a tough and-one. He'll add depth to the squad with his length, inside game and heart.

Miami Basketball ‏@CanesHoops
Akpejiori with a good dump pass into the post. Gamble's left-handed hook shot gives Green the lead.

Miami Basketball ‏@CanesHoops
Day one in the books for the Canes. Coach L was pleased with the effort and competition throughout the day.

Acc isnt getting any easier. Could be a rough couple of years. We have talent though. Time to see what coach l can do.

 

[CaneDaddy]

I think we still have the same contenders but I dont think UNC and Duke will be that elite this year (lost too many players). NC State is going to be really good and will probably win the ACC. However, it would not surprise me if we finish in the top 3 this year. FSU lost a ton, Maryland lost some good players, UVA and VT have some good recruits but I dont see them putting it together this year.

If there was ever a chance for us to do something, this would be it.

This is the year for UM basketball. Everybody graduates after this year, plus expected sanctions. Next couple of years after this year will be a big rebuilding project. No excuses this season.

 

[Oh Snap]

Julian Gamble is still on the team?

 

[Oh Snap]

He's practically Joel Anthony, but worse at everything.

 

[casualcane]

It's put up or shut up time this year.

 

[CaneShades]

This is the year!! After this year I see some hard times.

 

[tcgrad1014]

It's put up or shut up time this year.

This. It's basically now or never. Next season we will be back to being ACC doormats.

 

[TallyCane]

This team will suprise some people.

 

[CaneDaddy]

This team will suprise some people.

What scares me is that we shouldnt surprise people. We should be good this year and people know it.

At least Adrian Thomas and Steve Frazier graduated

Dude hit some pretty clutch 3's in his career. I dont think we will miss him but Im not mad at him.

 

[LexCane55]

I dont want Reggie shooting 3s

 

[CaneShades]

Thats what Im worried about, the big men shooting 3's. Sometimes last year Kadji would over do it.

Yes he did, and we certainly wont.
