Bye bye..Arthur...

LB Arthur Brown leaves UM 

> Posted by Shandel Richardson on February 2, 2010 02:29 PM

CORAL GABLES _ Linebacker Arthur Brown, once considered the top recruit in the 2008 class, has left the University of Miami.

Brown withdrew from school recently, according to a source close to the situation. Brown was unavailable for comment, but the source said the move was not football-related. Brown would have been a junior this fall. He didn't workout with the team Tuesday. UM media relations confirmed Brown returned home to Kansas to be with his family.

Scout.com rated Brown as the nation's top recruit after he finished his career at Wichita East. He was a Parade All-American and a member of USA Today's All-USA Team, but he struggled during his two seasons at UM. He cited "terminology" problems as a freshman and continued the adjustment last year.

Brown recorded 13 tackles last season, playing mostly on special teams. In 2008, he had four tackles while appearing in 11 games.

That's all you can ask. Give it all, give it all you got. Have the opportunity to not leave anything undone, nothing left behind, no stone unturned. That's what Miami did this weekend. All the important kids walked away from Miami this weekend completely impressed. Problem is most kids walk into a final weekend already leaning in a direction. They may not say so, but after months of the recruiting process, and only 3-4 days left, you KNOW, or at least you THINK you know. Kids done't walk into the final weekend, without a clue. They all had a clue. And a lean. So to get all these grade A kids speaking as positively as they have about their visit is really encouraging. HEY THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE BOTTOM LINE. I know that. Who signs on Wednesday is the bottom line here. But, I am VERY PROUD of the staff, the players, and the admin for doing EVERYTHING they possibly could to turn some of these kids this weekend. They shot their load. Now we can only hope it was enough.

What do you think hurts us MOST ...
Per:pubah F miami_hurricanes I'm going to say... 1) Administration - just seems to me most of the big time schools put more of an emphasis on football/athletics, but it doesn't seem to have the same importance to miami. It may be, it's just my perception. 2) Small alumni base - it's all about the benjamins, and miami doesn't have enough alumni to truly compete with the Texas, UFs, tOSUs, etc. These schools lose coordinators, and then can buy the next best thing. Miami has to dig deeper into the coaching pool to find the "might" be the next big thing. 3) Facilities - I know there have been upgrades, but if you've seen some of these other state school's facilities, miami is just behind, and there's not much miami can do because it takes major fund raising efforts (due to #2), whereas state schools can just upgrade every 2 yrs or so as needed. 4) Stadium - This isn't really miami's fault per se. It just is, what it is. Most of the schools mentioned above have on campus stadiums and have 30k+ students on campus. Most alumni probably reside within the state and can make a 2-3 hour commute. Miami doesn't have either of these luxuries and relies heavily on the community to buy up tickets. Which sadly doesn't happen very often. ___________________________________ Per: shadow F. miami_hurricanes response pubah, your #2 issue leads to #1 and #3. None of those big state universities President's give a lick about the football team, but thanks to millions of dollars from alumni and boosters...it doesn't matter, and all the football program asks is to be left alone by the school. I can give an example of UConn. They decided to go D-1 football in 2000, and for that they wanted a football stadium, an indoor training facility, new practice fields and football complex. President Austin could give a damn about that beyond doing his photo ops. He cared so, so much more about UConn 2000 and UConn 21st Century (two massive state funded academic building initiatives) and increasing the quality of the faculty and increasing the admission standards of the school. Well, the football team and fans didn't cry that the school cared more about funding its academic side, because the state built them a stadium in Hartford and it sells out, they called up onealumni/booster who donated the cash needed to build the indoor training facility, and called another to lead the football complex cash. At Miami, for whatever reason (but probably mostly because the value of UM degree means nothing to non-alumni which most of the fans are) their fans want academic money to fund the football team as if that is the main reasons the school exists OR that means the administration doesn't care about the football team. Which oddly enough this Shalala administration cares so much more then any Foote administration, who would've taken down the program if given the chance. Therefore, for me the lack of fan support is Miami's biggest issue. Nothing short of remarkable that Miami (i) can't grow its fanbase and (ii) has accomplished what it has and not disappeared from college football yet. Posts of the Day

Wow an opposing QB will now have to make a decision in 2-3 seconds instead of 4 or 5 sometimes even longer...HUGE Difference!!!

Randy can play his defense now and be effective. Last seasons defense was by far the best defense since Randy has been the HC and it will be better next year. 9-10 Starters return and now you have a D-Line that can be taught the proper technique. Combine that with their talent and this Defense will look a lot better. No wodner Bailey wanted to come back...can you imagine this guy with good hands and some moves to use. Top 10 Draft pick IMO if he remains healthy.

INT's will magically grow due to the lack of time a QB will have. Vernon and Bailey are absolute freaks. Vernon even more so IMO because he is a big 250-255 DE that is Abnormaly quick and strong. Somemes Bailey lacks quickness but that can change next year and he will have to be double teamed. Vernon is a legend among high school football players. Nobody wanted to go against him in camps before he got hurt because he embarassed everyone. Him and Mike James were the best True freshman last season with McGee, Porter, and Ray Ray rounding the top 5. Not in that order but Vernon and Mike were the most productive. Vernon has the biggest ability to be a game changer. He doesn't have nay flaws. He just needs to get to college level strength and endurance which will happen this offseason. Might only be here 3 years, especially with Petri teaching him. You can double team Vernon or Bailey but not both, one of them is going to get to the QB.

The corners can play up more, the Safeties can move up a little and bite on the shorter routes since there will be less time. The O-line will have to focus on the D-line more which frees up the LB's.

People who understand football know what I am talking about. Defense in today's game with the rules and stuff will get toasted if they give a decent QB time to throw. We will win the Turnover battle if we get to the QB and in the backfield 1-2 seconds faster. Randy's Defense will look really improved next year and we don't have to worry about recruiting because great play recruits itself. Your not going to have to convince a kid too much if you are producing NFL draft picks every year which Bailey will be. Ojomo and Robinson will have a really good chance after that wih their talent. And Vernon will be a first rounder if no serious injuries occur, trust me on that. A fast, big, strong DE that can produce will always have scouts salivating and he produced last year at a position True freshman simply are not suppose to produce at.

Forston, Regis, Porter all look very promising. Forston less than the other two but his ceiling is higher and could explode over the next year or 2.

Guys like Dyron Dye, Luther Robinson benefit greatly from this hire. I truly believe as long as Petri is here at least 1 D-lineman from the U each year will go in the top 3 rounds of the draft. Bailey has locked that up and Vernon is way ahead of the curve. All of those other guys have a really god shot as well and then you look at maybe EGO and the Upside of Perry and you are beside yourself. Perry needs weight and strength, those two things you can teach. You can't teach a 6'6 DE frame with almost a 7 foot wingspan haha!!!

Petri is a proven coach, gets it done time and time again! Guaranteed to be an improvement over the DL teaching from the past couple of seasons. An excellent move. The Dline improves the entire Defense without question. I am not overhyping the guy, the DL was below average at best last year and we still had a decnt defense. This guy can take the DL from below average to great with his teaching and the young talent Forston, Vernon, Regis, Robinson, Ojomo (back from injury), and Porter coming to help Bailey. Wow this will be a tough team to beat.

Increase our INT's, Jacory lowers his INT's and BOOM!!! You have at a minimum a top 15 team again and a very solid base to work off of. Bringing in Ken Dorsey to learn under Whip would be a good idea to experiment with.

My dream staff if Whip has to leave after next season:

HC- Shannon
OC/WR's- A. Hill (learning a lot from Whip)
QB's- Ken Dorsey
OL- Stoutland
TE/ST- Pannunzio
DL- Petri
LB's- Barrow/Lovett
DB's- W. Martinez
DC- Lovett

Recruiting Coordinator- Barrow or Martinez

Both can recruit or share duies. If Lovett helps Barrow with LB's then Barrow can really focus on recruiting and won't be overwhelmed. Would be a very solid staff. If they are keeping Mcgriff than that's ok but I think Willie would be an upgrade. Very stable coaching staff if you ask me. Aubrey would need to work with the WR's and possibly have a GA on his hip learning everything Aubrey knows so he can teach the WR's or you can get Mark Duper I guess to be a grad asst. and work his way up if Hill leaves for another job or something. Lots of options but I feel our staff is really close to being very good!

Another Henderson tidbit: His parents have every intention of moving with him to college. I spoke with his father Sean Henderson this morning and his response to the possibility of living in South Florida: "It's great, it's Miami, South Beach. We live in Minnesota, it's nine degrees right now and feels like 20 below (zero). I'm sure, it's 70 there.

Call me a cynic, but in college recruiting speach, parents moving with the player means nice cushy job and house near the school. Not the Miami way. I don't think he's coming.

his parents could be rich I guess.

That or they could have skills that would let them pick up and leave and find new jobs. Or they've been saving for this for some time and have a stash.

It is interesting though.

OTOH, he's talking about Miami with some nice words. haha

This is going to be very, very interesting. hahaha

IT MUST BE SAID.

What I am seeing is a lot of very large egos being told they don't know what the heck they are talking about. What I see is people who have convinced themselves that they understand what the needs of our team are like they are a coach. This is an ego problem.

I, like everyone else likes to do this for fun. That is why these discussion boards exist but I think some just take it way too far. We take it so seriously. Don't get all upside down overy a recruiting class. Any top 20 class is probably good but just because it is a top 10-20 class, that doesn't mean that they will win. Sometimes the aren't the players we need...but they are the players we WANT.

This is a class based on what our coaches percieve we NEED. The difference is there isn't any trust with our coaches with some of us fans. That, I am okay with but not trusting our coaches is one thing. To operate under the assumption that YOU KNOW MORE is something that is way out there for me.

Think about this. Something Jimmy Johnson mentioned on his interview yesterday. To paraphrase as best I can....He said "These are kids that play in the area. Don't you think that the ooaches in this area know more than the ones outside the area about who can play at Miami?" They see these kids and know their coaches. They know more than anyone about local kids.

To add to that, they have proven themselves at previous jobs to earn at least some respect. Don't take it so personally that they may not agree with YOU. Don't let your own ego get in the way. If they don't think Chandler can help us, and you do then let's just give them the benifit of the doubt because it is their funeral if they don't win. We expect excellence from these coaches on and off the field....but we can't micromanage every little thing they do or believe every erroneous article as some self fulfilling prophecy you have about our coaches. They are all qualified for the opportunity at least.

Now, before I get called what I am usually called here. A Shannon homer or a rah rah guy I look at this very pragmaticly. I view this with great perspective. This is a rebuild. Plain and simple but if the job isn't done by Jacorys senior year then I will be the first to call for another coach....but he has earned a fair shot.
