Golden Striking

One of the main criticisms of University of Miami football coach, Al Golden, is that he hasn't been as effective in securing local talent as some of his predecessors. Well, that finally seems to be changing, at least a little. I cite specifically here the recent commitment of Pasco High's (in Dade City, Florida) standout tight-end, Bowman Archibald. This fellow is one hell of an athlete (Rivals has him as the 3rd best tight-end in the state of Florida and the 14th best in the country) and the best part of all is that he's "rising" (a term that's frequently used by scouts to describe players who are quickly improving). I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him on the field as a true freshman and eventually becoming yet another great Miami tight end (along the lines of Jeremy Shockey or Kellen Winslow Jr.). Go Canes.
