Goldie’s Guarantee

San Francisco 49ers (10-7) @ Green Bay Packers (13-4)

Vegas Picks: GB -5.5

Goldie’s Take: Packers Win 38-13

No, that score prediction was not a typo. Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback in football while Garoppolo is average, and Jimmy’s nursing a shoulder injury. Also, Green Bay has been dominant in lambeau, going 8-0 at home this season. Also, SFs two best defenders are iffy to play as Nick Bosa and Fred Warner were tagged as questionable in Thursday’s injury report. Also, the Niners barely snuck into the playoffs, while the Packers had the #1 seed locked up for weeks. Also, the Niners are (in my opinion) the worst team left in the playoffs. Rodgers and the Packers advance to yet another NFC Championship. Bet the house, the car, and the boat! I GUARANTEE IT!

 

Goldie’s UPSET of the Week

Buffalo Bills (11-6) @ Kansas City Chiefs (13-5)

Vegas Picks: KC -2

Goldie’s Take: Bills Win 24-23

So many storylines surround the games this weekend, but perhaps none bigger than the rematch of last season’s AFC Championship. Mahomes and the Chiefs defeated the Bills last season en route to their second Super Bowl appearance in a row. However, Buffalo has been waiting patiently for their shot to knock KC off since that day (a certain Stefon Diggs photo comes to mind). These Bills proved they’re the real deal last week by demolishing division rival Patriots in the NFL playoffs’ first ever perfect game (TD on every drive). That loaded Bills offense is going to be hard to keep up with, especially considering Buffalo has the defensive edge as well. Feeling dangerous going against Andy Reid at home coming off a bye, but I’m a true believer that there’s a new sheriff in town in the AFC. After all, nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills! UPSET!

 

Cincinnati Bengals (10-7) @ Tennessee Titans (12-5)

Vegas Picks: TEN -3.5

Goldie’s Take: Titans Win 27-23

In the first of a great slate of games, the Bengals head to Tennessee with hopes of keeping their Cinderella season alive. However, many factors point towards a Titans victory this Saturday. The Titans have the rest/prep edge coming off the #1 seed bye, which of course also results in this being a home game for the Titans. In addition, Tennessee has the health edge. Multiple Bengals linebackers were injured in their win against the Raiders last week, and the Titans offense gets a massive boost as RB Derrick Henry is set to make his return. The clock strikes midnight for the Bengals, as the Titans get their first home playoff win since 2003. 

 

Los Angeles Rams (12-5) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (13-4) 

Vegas Picks: TB -3

Goldie’s Take: Rams Win 26-23

Feeling extra dangerous going against Tom Brady in the playoffs, but his team is just too depleted to win a playoff game right now. The Bucs will be without Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown, and they’ll be lucky to have two of their three top RBs. Those are major blows to two very important skill positions on the offense. Loaded Rams defense should do a good job of containing the hobbled Bucs offense. Also, Matthew Stafford is out for blood in this one, as this is his first real taste of competitive playoff action after being cooped up in Detroit for all those years. Sean McVay and the Rams devise a game plan to take down the legendary GOAT on the other side. However, this is the most nervous pick of the four by far, as the ghost of Brady’s past has already started to haunt me. 

Five Takeaways from Panthers 2-1 win over Canucks

/0 Comments/in , /by

After a 6-0 thrashing of the Edmonton Oilers, Florida was back on the ice one day later in Vancouver to take on the Canucks. 

A depleted Canucks team held their own against the star studded Panthers squad and saw a great performance in goal from their new goalie Spencer Martin.

The game ended in a shootout, where the Panthers won 2-1.

Here are tonight’s five takeaways. 

Spencer Martin stole the show 

Before tonight 26-year-old goaltender Spencer Martin hadn’t appeared in an NHL game since the 2016-2017 season when he was with the Colorado Avalanche. 

He was previously in the AHL with the Abbotsford Canucks, where he had five wins in his seven starts. 

All game the Panthers were firing at Martin but they only got past him once in regulation from a power play opportunity.

In his debut with the Canucks, Martin had 33 saves. He looked like he belonged in the NHL tonight and I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets more games this season.

Spencer Knight stood tall

Apart from the first goal allowed on the power play, Knight gave his team a fighting chance against Vancouver. 

The 20-year-old Panthers net minder had to make a multitude of saves from high scoring areas. He also had to kill four penalties tonight. 

He didn’t have goal support from his team until the third period but his performance tonight allowed the Panthers to hold on until they could tie the game in the third and win it in the shootout.

The team looked slower than usual 

Florida has played three games in the last four days, including a back to back. Between the travel, time change and games, it looked like it hit them tonight. 

The team who is usually electric off the rush and in transition looked lethargic for most of the game. They didn’t have the same jump in their step that you would see when they are putting five plus goals past their opponent. 

There weren’t too many odd-man rushes nor breakaway chances for Florida, when they usually get a couple each game. 

They had a few spurts where they looked alive but other than that, it wasn’t the same energy you usually see from this team. 

Florida couldn’t stay out of the box 

Some of the penalties tonight were definitely questionable, but nonetheless Florida was penalized four times against Vancouver.

It didn’t help that Vancouver scored on their first PP or that the Canucks had some great chances with the man advantage.

They’ll need to clean that up before their next game against Seattle.  

The power play looked smooth

After going 3-for-5 last night on the power play, Florida brought their power play momentum to Vancouver. 

Florida didn’t get too many looks on the man advantage tonight but they looked pretty comfortable when they had the opportunity. 

The puck movement was quick, decisive and it led to good scoring chances.  Florida got their first and only goal of the game on their second power play opportunity from Vancouver native Sam Reinhart. 

The Panthers power play hasn’t been all that impressive for a large part of this season, but it has looked good as of late.

Five Takeaways from Heat’s Loss to Atlanta

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Miami Heat lost to the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night, and well, it was a wild finish.

Miami didn’t even seem like they’d be in that position, but they made a late push to only trail 2 with 10 seconds left and the ball in their possession. A Jimmy Butler corner three was the result, while it felt like that was the last option on that play.

Anyway, here are some general takeaways from this one…

#1: Patchy stretches to finish first half: turnovers, inability to get into actions, blending into defense.

To touch on some negatives of Miami’s early play tonight, the stretch in the second quarter where Atlanta went on a 14-3 run showcased some things. For one, turnovers can’t happen in general, but essentially against teams that don’t mind getting out and run. The reason for the turnovers could be thrown in a few different directions. The easy thing to say is that it was visible they couldn’t flow into their offense as smoothly, but why was that the case? No Kyle Lowry and Tyler Herro, the highest usage guards on the team, means the usage rates raise for others. Gabe Vincent is obviously one, but an interesting one was Caleb Martin. He’s been given the keys to fill every role, but that one did not feel necessary to trigger actions. Those issues began to lead into defensive struggles during that stretch, which is the bigger picture problematic element.

#2: It’s not specific schematics with Max Strus. It’s a mindset.

Watching Max Strus go for 15 points in the first half leads to some individual game takeaways with him. There’s nothing different or outrageous about the way he’s used or goes about his offense, but his mindset is the only thing that is different. For one, I don’t think he’s ever seen his on-ball defender. Why is that? Well, he’s never had time to take note of him when the ball is in his hands, because that ball is going up as soon as he sees a green light opportunity. But when dissecting more scheme specifics, his cutting has been a very useful, surprising element that makes him more of a weapon within Miami’s movement offense. He’s instinctive. When he cuts, it’s in the moment. When he shoots, there’s nothing else on his mind. And well, that’s a pretty great trait for a shooter of his caliber.

#3: Pick and roll scoring threats anyone?

When Bam Adebayo was out, the element they missed within their offense was that rolling pull-up threat, since no other front-court mate could provide that. Now, without Lowry and Herro, they showed to be lacking the ball-handler scoring element within the PnR. Gabe Vincent has emerged immensely in that space, really reading situations well when the defender goes under a screen, that it’s his turn to pull. But looking across the roster tonight, aside for Jimmy Butler who wasn’t showcasing it often, they just didn’t have that scoring threat within that action. That was why we saw more hand-offs, Adebayo perimeter surveying on cuts, and usual perimeter ball movement. Their hands were tied behind their back without that head of the snake, but obviously adjustments are the story of their season.

#4: Bam Adebayo-Omer Yurtsevem?

The Bam Adebayo-Omer Yurtseven front-court combination has been a hot topic in terms of lineup projections recently, and well, we saw some of it tonight. After PJ Tucker went out early, they were forced to move in this direction, which as I’ve said is the one scenario where it makes a ton of sense. Now, with what we saw, the defensive flexibility is definitely intriguing. It’s something Adebayo is very comfortable with, as Yurtseven drops in the pick and rolls and Adebayo can switch out to anyone without worry about the backside or offensive rebounding. But as great as this is, it’s not all rose pedals as expected. The offensive spacing is still heavily forced. And it was clear Erik Spoelstra would agree, as most of the sets being run were double off-ball screens with those two, so the strong-side interior would be clear. There’s some good and some bad, which is exactly what happens when you’re filling a hole in the lineup. It won’t be the last we see of it.

Loading
Loading...

#5: They had a chance…but couldn’t capitalize.

No Kyle Lowry. No Tyler Herro. No PJ Tucker. That was the story for Miami in this one, as their offensive showing, as noted prior, was just very underwhelming. Add onto that, Jimmy Butler was just not playing like himself on the offensive end, simply lacking that shot creation that was so heavily missed in this one, capping it off with a missed alley-oop layup to take the lead late. Gabe Vincent, Caleb Martin, and Max Strus are consequently relied on so much more, but they did their part in a general sense. We so often hear the phrase “We have enough,” but it didn’t feel like that was the case with the top heavy guys either dropping out or not playing to their standards. Beating a team twice less than 2 weeks ago is usually an awkward formula, and we saw that from a desperate Atlanta Hawks team. But ultimately, they had a chance, but couldn’t fully take advantage late following the impressive come-back. Plus, down 2 on the last play, a fading, contested Butler triple wouldn’t have been my choice.

Miami Hurricanes in good standing with former Oregon offensive lineman

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Miami Hurricanes have been working hard to build their offensive line, and it appears that they may be landing another prospect relatively soon. Logan Sagapolu appears to be focusing on the Miami Hurricanes at the moment. This news was first reported by Matt Shodell of Canesport.com.

Sagapolu is a three-star prospect. A member of the class of 2019, he committed to Oregon on January 20th, 2019. As a recruit, he was the ninth overall center in the 2020 class per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He holds a numerical ranking of just over 87.

Sagapolu entered the transfer portal on January 18, after not seeing any game action at Oregon. He was sidelined for the 2021 season as a result of an injury occurring during fall camp.

Measuring in at six-foot-three, 340 pounds, he is an interior lineman.

What could he bring to the Miami Hurricanes?

When I looked at some of his film from high school, he was a very impressive prospect. One of the things that really stood out to me was his agility. He was able to get to any potential pass-rushers quickly.

In addition to his quick feet, he also played well at the point of attack. As soon as the ball was snapped, he immediately extended his hands and created either pass protection for a quarterback, or a lane for a running back. He is not afraid to play physical, and that is something the Miami Hurricanes need on the line.

The fact that the Miami Hurricanes seem to be in good standing with him is certainly good news. Alex Mirabal could have a chance to work with him. If so, that could be a partnership that is beneficial for both coach and player. Mirabal’s ability to develop talent along with Sagapolu’s natural skill could be a great combination.

We’ll have to see how this recruitment ends up playing out. However, it appears that the Miami Hurricanes are in a good spot to land him. This would be a victory for offensive line recruiting.

Five Takeaways From Panthers Win Over Oilers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two nights following Florida’s 5-1 loss to Calgary, they were back in Alberta to face the Edmonton Oilers. 

Despite a slow start to the game, Florida opened the scoring and didn’t let the Oilers back in the game, defeating them 6-0.

Here’s tonight’s takeaways. 

Sergei Bobrovsky kept them in the game

The first period play by the Panthers doesn’t correlate with the final score of the game. Edmonton looked miles better than Florida in this period and they had numerous chances to take the lead. 

The one man standing in their way was Sergei Bobrovsky. Edmonton had 17 shots in the first period, including a few really good chances on the power play. Bobrovsky shut the door, stopping Connor McDavid and the Oilers in their tracks. 

Bob ended the night with 40 saves.

Florida found their game late but timely 

It took Florida nearly a game and a half into their Canadian road trip to find themselves, but it didn’t affect them tonight in Edmonton. 

Since Bob was able to keep the game scoreless heading into the second, Edmonton missed their chance to put the Panthers on their heels. 

One power play opportunity in the second period saw Sam Reinhart feed Sasha Barkov a beautiful saucer pass and the captain put it away. 

Florida grabbed another goal after that when Carter Verhaeghe rifled a shot bardown past Edmonton goalie Mikko Koskinen. 

Up 2-0, Florida continued to increase the pressure and looked more like the team we see in Sunrise, not the one we saw Tuesday night in Calgary. 

Florida was able to convert three times tonight on the power play as well. It played a large part in their blow out win tonight.

The defense held back McDavid and Draisaitl

It’s never an easy night when you have to play against two of the league’s top scorers in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Draisaitl entered the night second in league scoring while McDavid was tied with Huberdeau for third. 

The dynamic duo was extremely visible tonight with the puck. but the Panthers were able to swarm them and keep them off the scoreboard.

Huberdeau was also able to jump both of them in the points race with his two assists.

Sam Reinhart continues to get apples 

Another great playmaking game tonight from Sam Reinhart. He picked up two assists, pushing his season assist total to 22. 

Both of his assists were heads up plays. One was a nice saucer to Barkov from the side of the net on the power play, the other was a behind the net pass where he found Carter Verhaeghe wide open in the slot. 

Fitting he did some work in “Gretzky’s office” (behind the net) in Edmonton. 

Once they started they couldn’t stop

Well a slow start didn’t hurt tonight. Florida put six goals past Edmonton, four of those coming in the third period of play.

Barkov had two, Duke, Verhaeghe and Bennett all had one. Oh ya, and Owen Tippett capped off his great night with a goal as well.

Another five plus goal night for the Ice Cats.

BONUS TAKEAWAY: Barkov is good 

Five Takeaways from Heat’s Win Over Blazers

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Miami Heat took down the Portland Trail Blazers at home on Wednesday night, behind pure role player domination and Bam Adebayo late takeover.

Many guys had their moments, including Caleb Martin and Gabe Vincent, but Adebayo took over with no Kyle Lowry, no Tyler Herro, and no Jimmy Butler late.

That’s big time.

So, here are five takeaways from this one…

#1: Some Bam Adebayo flashes of total offensive awareness.

Bam Adebayo was the topic of last game but in more of a forceful sense. On his return day, he showcased some defensive sustainability but wasn’t providing the total offensive weaponry as expected. Tonight, though, we saw the flashes that many want to see. To begin the game, Duncan Robinson ends around for a DHO, but his defender is totally fronting him. Adebayo turns, dribbles, and pulls up right into a jumper that went right through the net. That’s the guy many have been awaiting, and that wasn’t the only first half possession that was seen. On the other side of the floor, I saw something that I’ve been saying must be seen more often. Switching will always be number one on their list when he’s on the floor, but blitzing is necessary with his athletic build and quick speed. Late in the second quarter, that blitz led to an easy turnover, which is even easier when Caleb Martin is the other on-ball guy spearheading it. But his late offensive takeover iced it, and it was all about Adebayo’s mindset.

#2: Wait, Jimmy Butler ejected?

Jimmy Butler definitely felt he was getting fouled often in the first half. He’s not one that barks at the refs possession after possession like his point guard counterpart, but something flipped after an and-1. He looked to be sending a message to the baseline referee as he went to let him know in his face about the fouling spree, which totally warranted a technical. Emphasis on “a” technical. As he turned to walk away, still talking to some teammates around him, the second official slid in to give him his second technical. That one, not as warranted in my opinion. Was Butler that upset about the no-calls? I doubt it. As I said, it felt like more of a message that Butler wasn’t expecting to end in ejection. Either way, extra rest isn’t the worst thing for the Heat’s star player.

#3: The bench mob takeover.

Speaking on more of the specifics of the first half, it was more of the “others” that shined, and more importantly, kept Miami afloat. As the starters lacked that offensive chemistry to create similar looks, the bench group came in facilitating that ball at an elite level. Gabe Vincent-Kyle Guy-Max Strus-Caleb Martin-Dewayne Dedmon is quite the lineup to rely on for a good stretch of time, but well, it worked. Martin and Strus ended the first half with 11 points a piece, each doing it in different ways. Strus more of that ignitable spark that gave Miami that extra push when needed offensive to finish possessions, and Martin more of that persistent spot scorer who can utilize terrific footwork, the occasional three, and pure athleticism down the lane to put points on the board. This grouping was intriguing, but I don’t know if I can say it was surprising. I feel like I’ve seen this same show for 44 games.

#4: Another Erik Spoelstra third quarter adjustment.

One of Erik Spoelstra’s best coaching games this season was the home match-up against Utah earlier in the season. Why is that? Well, he made one single adjustment that turned the game around in Miami’s favor. Tonight, he made a similar move. Miami’s back to strong switching with Bam Adebayo back, but that also can be worked to their advantage with PJ Tucker on the floor. And after Jusef Nurkic was really dominating the interior, Spoelstra shifted the match-ups to stick Tucker on CJ McCollum and Adebayo still on Nurkic. What does that mean? Well, every screening action ended with Adebayo on McCollum and Tucker on Nurkic. That’s a win for Miami on both fronts, even if rebounding standards scare you. That one move put Miami right back in it to finish the third quarter strong, as Martin exploded on the other end.

Loading
Loading...

#5: Gabe Vincent’s improvements are no joke.

While it may feel like Caleb Martin deserves his own section after the big time push he gave them in the third, he’s been discussed enough upon his outstanding efforts. But somebody I touched on briefly that must be discussed more is Gabe Vincent. Finding rotation minutes for him aside, we’re witnessing a guy that has made continuous jumps in areas that weren’t even being focused on from outsiders. As many were just speaking on the perimeter shot falling, he’s taken that bet and raised it. Vincent has improved both his handles and vision to a completely other level, that make him quite the NBA level player, as he took over to begin the fourth with continuous feeds to Dewayne Dedmon. And well, defense hasn’t even been mentioned after he was stealing, deflecting, and fronting anybody that came his way. He’s not Kyle Lowry, but he’s treated as such when Lowry is out.

Miami Hurricanes make final cut for 2022 DE Jack Pyburn

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Miami Hurricanes got a little bit of a recruiting update on Wednesday as they made the final cut for 2022 three-star edge defender Jack Pyburn

Pyburn is a member of  the 2022 recruiting class, and has an 86 numerical ranking in the 247Sports rankings. In addition to Miami, Auburn is the other school that is in his final two.

Most recently, he took a visit to Auburn on January 14. He was offered by Miami on January 4.

He finished the 2021 season as a defensive playmaker. He recorded 109 tackles and 15 sacks in 11 games with the Bolles School. In three years of recorded statistics, he finished with 263 total tackles, and 28 sacks.

Measuring in at six-foot-three, 255 pounds, Pyburn has tremendous speed off the edge. As soon as the ball is snapped, he is able to accelerate and make a tackle. In some of the highlights I watched on him, he possessed the same skill set at both edge and linebacker. At the linebacker position, he was able to get by the defensive line with ease.

When he played the edge position, he used his speed to overpower the tackle or whoever was guarding him. A lot of times, you see edge players finesse their way into the backfield with quick movements and strength. Pyburn did that as well, but the speed element was a huge factor in his game.

Currently, the 2022 Miami Hurricanes recruiting class ranks 36th nationally and fifth overall in ACC per the 247Sports Team rankings. Miami has done a nice job of looking for edge defenders for this class. Cyrus Moss would be an example of that. Getting Pyburn would certainly add more depth to the position, and it would give Miami another proverbial tool in the tool chest.

With Miami having  good momentum in terms of recruiting, this would be another nice to get for a program that is looking to trend upward in the Mario Cristobal.

Follow these steps to improve your golf game

/0 Comments/in , /by

Golf is a wonderful sport that has been enjoyed by people for generations. It’s one of the few sports that can be enjoyed at any age, with players as young as 5 years old and as old as 90+. However, if you want to improve your game, there are some ways to do so. Here are some steps to take to improve your golf game.

Invest In A Golf Launch Monitor

A golf launch monitor is an electronic device used in the sport of golf mainly by professionals or high-level amateurs who want to know how far they are hitting their drives compared with other professionals or against par. They also allow you access information about the direction and speed of shots which will help you make adjustments when necessary. The information is usually presented as graphs, charts, and tables. One of the best ways to improve your golf game would be to invest in a golf launch monitor. You can take a look at https://www.golfinfluence.com/gear/accessories/best-launch-monitors/ to see some of the best monitors and which is best for your needs. The monitor records data about your drives such as direction, speed, backswing position, and angle of attack. This information will allow you an analysis of different aspects of your swing and help you make adjustments when necessary. You can also compare data from previous times you have used the launch monitor to see your progress over time

Make Sure Your Warm-Up And Practice Sessions Are Effective

In between each hole on a course, golfers usually go through a series of warm-ups and practice swings which are very important for improving your game. However, to improve your game, it is important that you don’t just go out on courses or practice areas and hit ball after ball without having any specific goals or aims. It’s best if you come up with some drills so that you get more effective practice sessions such as focusing on distances and accuracy rather than just hitting balls at random targets around the range. If you get more specific with targets, you’ll know exactly what you need to improve on and the goals will be much more effective.

Do What You Love To Do And Practice It Often

The best way to improve your golf game would be to do what you love and then practice it often. To get better at playing a sport, repetition is very important. The more times you play the sport, the better you will get. So make sure that when you practice or play rounds of golf, you are focused on enjoying yourself while also putting in the necessary time and effort required for improvement. Doing this will allow all your hours of practice and rounds of golf to be more effective by helping you overcome mental blocks and perfect your technique so that improvements can be seen over time.

 

In addition to getting into a routine of practicing, you should make sure your body is physically prepared for it. This means exercising (running, swimming, weightlifting) to build up muscles and cardiovascular health plus eating well (eating whole grains instead of refined carbs). If you are not in good enough shape to play golf, you will find yourself tired towards the end of a game or outing which may cause frustration and hurt your game overall.

Improve Your Short Game

One of the best ways to improve your game would be to focus on improving your short game. A short game refers to shots that are taken within 100 yards of the hole which usually include chips, pitches, bunkers, sand traps & putting. These are some of the most difficult shots because they involve approaching balls from different angles, speeds, and elevations. If you can master these shots and improve your score by sinking more putts, chipping close for a tap-in birdie rather than a three-putt par, and getting out of sand traps with fewer strokes it will go a long way towards improving your game and helping you lower your scores.

 

Golf is one of the most time-honored sports that has been enjoyed by people for generations. However, to enjoy the sport and improve at it over time, certain steps need to be taken such as investing in a golf launch monitor, using drills in practice sessions so they’re more effective than just hitting balls at random around the range, making sure you enjoy what you’re doing and practice often, be physically prepared for it by exercising, eating well, and getting into good shape, focus on improving your short game which usually includes chips, pitches, bunkers, sand traps & putting. If you follow these steps to improve your game, you’ll find yourself having more fun while also enjoying the sport over time.

Miami Hurricanes: Cyrus Moss notes ‘Canes decision was last-minute

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Miami Hurricanes have had a fast-paced month in terms of recruiting. One of their bigger commitments was  2023 edge defender Cyrus Moss. The four-star commit was the sixth overall edge defender, and the second overall player in the state of Nevada per the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Moss committed at the All-American Bowl on January 8.  It was an important commitment for the Miami Hurricanes.  With Miami missing out on wide receiver Kevin Coleman to Jackson State, Moss was able to deliver the positive momentum Miami was expecting that weekend.

In two seasons of recorded statistics, Moss tallied 111 total tackles in 27 games for Bishop Gorman. He also had 23 tackles for a loss. He is coming off a 2021 season that saw him tally 63 tackles.

A last-minute decision

In an interview with Woody Womack of CaneSport.com, Moss gave a little bit of insight into how his decision to come to Miami was a big one.

“Miami kind of shot up out of nowhere. It really was that last weekend when I went down there and visited. I had to come back from that and sit down, and it was only a few days before Signing Day, so  it really was kind of hectic, kind of chaotic. Lots of family talks, family decisions, kind of weighing it all out. But it came way down to the wire.”

Moss’ versatility could suit him well in this Miami Hurricanes defense. He has the ability to rush the passer as well as sit patiently and wait to get into the backfield to disrupt a play. he will certainly be an anchor for a Miami defense that looks to be greatly improved in the coming years.

With Miami landing a successful player in Brevin Jordan out of Bishop Gorman, time will tell if the school could potentially be a pipeline for Miami.

Miami Hurricanes: Elite 2023 QB set to visit Coral Gables this weekend

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Miami Hurricanes have been busy recruiting over the last couple of weeks, and they will have an intriguing visitor this weekend. 2023 five-star quarterback Dante Moore is set to visit Coral Gables while in town for the battle Miami event. This news was first reported by Gaby Urrutia of 247Sports.

Moore is the third overall quarterback in the 2023 class, and the top player in his class from the state of Michigan per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He has offers from all of the big-name schools. In addition to Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, and Penn State are just some of the schools that have extended an offer his way. He is the most interested in those four.

Moore completed 177-of-244 passes, throwing for 3047 yards, 40 touchdowns and three interceptions for Martin Luther King High school in Michigan. One of the things that sticks out to me in particular about his game is his pocket presence. He does a very good job of being able to set his feet and identify his read quickly to make the throw.

In addition to just what he can do in the pocket, he also is able to make throws on the run. Primarily, it seems like he wants to stay in the pocket to make his throws, and that is certainly his strength. He also possesses a very good deep ball, and is able to deliver the ball with accuracy. There is a reason why he is a highly-rated quarterback, and it is extremely evident when you look at his tape.

Currently, the Miami Hurricanes’ 2023 recruiting class ranks 45th in the country and sixth overall in the ACC per the 247Sports team rankings. That will change quickly, as Miami currently only has one commitment in the class. Lamar Seymour is the only player in the class right now. He committed to Miami back on April 16, 2020.

I’m excited that Moore is coming into town. If he is in town for Battle Miami, it’s encouraging that he wants to visit the campus. Who knows if anything will come from it, but he just adds another big name in what is going to be a productive weekend for Miami.
