New OT/TE Commit for Canes

The Canes got their 6th 2009 commitment today in Cory White, an OL from Florida. White has received a number of offers, but it looks like this kid is being looked at as a diamond in the rough. Miami is the only BCS school to offer him, despite his interest in UF, FSU and Penn State. That's probably because the offensive lineman weighs only 235 pounds. I know Jason Fox was on the light end when he came in, but this is pushing it.

I trust the coaching staff to recognize talent when they see it. But apparently White wants to play TE. He does run a 4.8 40, so he is pretty athletic enough. However, we already have a commitment from Billy Sanders and are going hard after Orson Charles. If White will play TE, then I will get worried about our chances with Charles, who is pretty much the TE stud of this class. I really want him on this team.

Other than that, the Canes have been offering lineman left and right. OL and DL are probably the big need positions in this class, so it's wise to offer out to as many talented kids as you can.
