Potential QB transfers? Manny Diaz doesn’t sweat it. “This goes with any position, any player. If you don’t want to be for the University of Miami, go somewhere else. This is UM. This is Miami. We don’t have to beg anyone to be a Miami Hurricane.” https://t.co/ueePpvL22x

As we get closer to naming a starting QB, rumors are certainly swirling about one (or both) of the backups transfering out. Coach Manny Diaz didn’t seem bothered.

Just in case you forgot how good Ed Reed was (and not just in coverage), here’s a reminder.
Speaking of the QB battle, the Sun Sentinel has a great article on some of the soundbites CMD gave regarding Miami finding a starting signal caller. Diaz says that he hopes to have a no. 1 picked out in the next two or three weeks.
Over at the Miami Herald, they take a look at Shaq Quarterman saying the new strength and conditioning system is turning guys into “monsters” - we’ll see if that pans out on the field. They’re also breaking down more of what CMD had to say at media day, including how he “happily” is setting up #TNM with high expectations. And speaking of expectations, you can see what I think about where the fanbase should set them for this coming season.
And that’s all for today Cane’s fans, remember...
