C.J. Holton Switches his Commitment

In the wake of the academic scandal, one of FSU's prized recruits has decommitted and pledged to sign with the Canes in February. C.J. Holton is a 4 star safety from Florida and had been rumored to make this move for some time. After watching the Canes beat the Noles up in Tally this season, he seemed to have been swayed some and finally pulled the trigger this weekend.

His decommitment is likely out of interest in Miami more so than the scandal affecting the FSU football team. However, he was not the only one to leave, as they lost stud DE Moses McCray to LSU. It will be interesting to see if the violations will have any further effect on what was a top 5 class heading into January.

Otherwise, all quiet on the recruiting front. Miami still plans on having several DBs visiting despite the commitment from Holton. Nobody around here is confident about signing Patrick Johnson. It's been suggested that if we sign UCLA interim coach Dewayne Walker as our DC, he might bring CB Aaron Hester along with him. For now, thats just speculation though. Matt Patchan's announcement is now only a couple of days away (supposedly) and the Army AA game is in a week or so. We'll know for sure about Patrick then.
