Canes Miss Out on Pair of Recruits

We did get a verbal from Luther Robinson on Tuesday, but the past couple of days haven't been the best for the Miami football program. Yesterday they lost out on South Dade DE Ed Stinson, who committed to FSU. That's frustrating news because we just made some ground on the 2009 FSU class and then they go and get a verbal from another 4 star defensive player.

And today comes more bad news, this time from Texas. I might have mentioned we were going heavy after Craig Loston, the consensus #1 safety in the 2009 class. The 5 star stud opted to go to Clemson instead. Loston is 6-3 200 pounds and runs a 4.35, so imagine just how much of an impact he could make on a defense that lacks proven safeties such as our own. I still think we have some good depth there, but we need someone to stand out and make a difference now that Kenny Phillips has gone pro.
