Miami recruiting philosophy same under Hill

Posted: 22 Jun 2010 12:34 PM PDT

Miami receivers coach Aubrey Hill is an approachable guy. He has the kind of down-to-earth personality high school coaches gravitate to and appreciate, which is why Hill was the right choice as the Hurricanes' recruiting coordinator. Word out of Miami is that Hill's style and approach has been better than his predecessor, Clint Hurt, who is now with Louisville.

The same recuiting philosophy that has always worked for Miami, though, will continue to work for Hill and the staff -- recruiting Dade, Broward, West Palm Beach, and the rest of the elite talent within the state before looking elsewhere in the country. The Canes are off to a good start in this year's recruiting class, with three of their five players being on the ESPNU 150 list. The key so far has been the commitment of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who could be the signal-caller of the future there. He was an important piece to the program's future. Now the staff can begin to put an emphasis on defensive recruits.

Had it with Massey

Some Democrats in the legislature have a worthy philosophy when it comes to investments made by the state pension fund: Lie down with dogs and get up with fleas. Thus, they want State Treasurer Janet Cowell to sell the state's investment in Massey Energy, which amounts to only $17.4 million in stock out of a pension portfolio worth $68.7 billion. This step should be taken immed1iately.

Massey, based in Richmond, engages in mountaintop strip mining, an efficient but environmentally disastrous 1method. Worst of all, in the last 10 years, 52 miners have died in accidents with Massey mines, including the Big Branch underground mine calamity in West Virginia this year. The company has been hit with more than $12 million in federal and state fines.

These are bad actors, and the state needs to get off the stage with them. Greensboro Rep. Pricey Harrison, a Democrat, says, "It would probably take only about five minutes to divest the state's money from Massey and invest it with a more responsible company."
