The State of the U is... weird on December 6th, 2018 as the Miami Hurricanes football program is struggling to recruit heading into the early signing period and the basketball program has dropped four straight games. Here is our news roundup from Wednesday.
Mainstream News
The Miami Herald’s Susan Miller Degnan covers the Yankees and the Pinstripe Bowl in her piece titled, “NY Yankees’ Pinstripe Bowl brings Miami and Wisconsin coaches to ‘city that never sleeps.’” There isn’t a ton of real news in the piece or analysis at all.
I’m not sure if the Palm Beach Post is even covering the Hurricanes at this time as the last post they have up is from December 2nd.
Evan Hadrick of SOTU covered the past week in Women’s Hoops
Marshthomas of SOTU wrote a piece titled, “Miami Struck Gold With Jess Simpson”
