Our Baby Backs? Yeah, They're Alright

So...I imagine last night's scrimmage will shut people up about letting local talent get away for at least, oh, ten minutes.
Our little Georgian friend, high school senior Storm Johnson, waved hello to Miami with a spectacular 52-yard run up the left sideline before Demarcus Van Dyke chased him down at the 10, and on another carry he broke out for a 29-yard gain up the left. He notched a six-yard touchdown run and caught two balls for 14 yards.
(Note to Storm: Please don't be one of those that sucks comes fall.)
Actual Miamian Lamar Miller ripped off a 44-yard touchdown from a broken tackle and later scored in a goal-line situation.
Together, the two had 168 yards on 17 carries; Polk County's Mike James added another touchdown.
"I want to spoon was kind of pleased with the running backs," was Randy Shannon's glowing endorsement.

Like Lt. Winslow says: "retired football players turned financial advisors... pretty much always a fantastic idea."

I know, another combine post from me, but this time it's our boys trying to go to the NFL. TGB's been stalking Jimmy Graham, but I wanted to give some info on the other Canes who took the trip to Indianapolis.

Five-Star DB Latwan Anderson Commits to Track Team.

According to the Sun-Sentinel, the #2 DB in the nation has confirmed that no one wants to move to West Virginia (or play for Bill Stewart).
"I felt that all things were equal between West Virginia and Miami," Anderson told SI.com about the two schools. "The only difference was the football. In my opinion, Miami is far and away closer to winning conference and national championships than West Virginia."
Along with having family in Florida, Anderson said one other major factor figured into his decision.
"Even if I don't make the NFL, I could see myself living in Miami after I get my degree," Anderson said. "I don't know if I can say the same if I went to West Virginia. I don't know if I can see myself living there after school."
How badly, exactly, do people not want to live in West Virginia? There was no room in the inn, so Anderson's commitment was given to the Hurricanes' track coach.
The DB never spoke with UM football coaches during the recruiting process - he wasn't even on Miami's radar until after signing day. That's when Cane coaches called his school to inquire why he never signed with West Virginia.
After that they turned his recruitment over to track coordinator Amy Deem; Anderson said the Canes had no football scholarship to offer him.
Anderson...has personal best times of 11.26 seconds in the 100, 21.54 seconds in the 200 and 50.03 seconds in the 400. The track scholarship will convert over to football as soon as he plays in a game for the Canes."It was a little strange not talking to them, but I understand the situation," Anderson said. "I picked Miami because me, my dad and mom, we compared everything from Miami to West Virginia. And everything stacked up. Miami's academics were step and step, and when it came to football Miami was on another level."
Anderson had a press conference scheduled for today, but has canceled. "I'll sign my papers as soon as they get here tonight or tomorrow," Anderson said. "It's a done deal."
Seantrel Henderson, this is how you do it.

New Baby Cane(Partial Confirmation) - UPDATED
As pointed out in the comments and upon my own confirmation, SI is reporting the Canes just landed the 15th ranked player in the nation (Rivals) and the #2 DB in the Country with Latwan Anderson. He (allegedly) picked us over WVU.
