Dec 31, 2006

December 31, 7:30 PM EST, ESPN: A talented but disappointing Miami Hurricane team plays on the blue field in Idaho as they once again miss out on a New Years Day bowl game. The Hurricanes have seven potential first day prospects yet in reality only three may break into the initial 100-selections.

Miami vs. Nevada
ESPN, 7:30 P.M.

Miami


Name	Pos	#	Yr	Rnd	Comments
Baraka Atkins	DT	98	5Sr	4th	Gifted prospect coming off a disappointing campaign. Picked up his play late in the year but may not be enough to save a first day grade.
Jon Beason	OLB	2	4Jr	3rd	Terrific athlete who makes plays sideline to sideline. Needs to complete his game but offers a lot of upside. Likely to enter the draft.
Kareem Brown	DT	99	5Sr	3rd	Explosive interior lineman coming off an erratic senior season.
Darnell Jenkins	WR	8	4Sr	FA	Sparsely used receiver with solid size/speed numbers. Played in three games this year and could apply for a sixth season.
Brandon Meriweather	S	19	5Sr	2/3	Solid cover safety who could patrol centerfield or play nickel over the slot receiver. Character is an issue.
Brian Monroe	P	15	4Sr	7th	Inconsistent punter with a big leg.
Ryan Moore	WR	85	5Sr	4/5	Big receiver with terrific speed. Looked like a dominant force as a freshman in '03 but has since watched his play regress. Missed eight games due to suspension this year.
Tyrone Moss	RB	30	4Sr	4/5	Talented back with terrific size/speed numbers. Showed a lot of skill before his knee injury late in '05. Could not win back the starting job this year. A steal outside of the top 100-picks if he gets back to prior form.
Greg Olsen	TE	82	4Jr	3/4	Athletic tight end with an incomplete game. Does not do the little things well and is better off staying in school for another season. Likely to enter the draft.
Anthony Wollschlager	C	78	5Sr	FA	Limited athlete with marginal size. Struggles handling large defenders in the middle of the field. Practice squad material.
Kyle Wright	QB	3	4Jr	5/6	Big armed passer who needs a lot of work on his game.

Nevada

Name	Pos	#	Yr	Rnd	Comments
Joey Garcia	CB	23	5Sr	6/7	Ball-hawking corner who plays a tough brand of football. Best in a cover-two type system.
Nick Hawthrone	S	28	5Sr	FA	One time productive safety who has struggled since his knee injury in late '05.
Robert Hubbard	RB	19	5Sr	FA	Hard working football player with limited size.
J.J. Milan	DE	91	5Sr	FA	Nice sized rush-linebacker prospect for a 3-4 alignment.
Anthony Pudewell	TE	83	5Sr	7th	Well rounded tight end who could play for a team which keeps three TE's.
Jeff Rowe	QB	3	5Sr	7th	Well sized passer with a solid arm. Best in the intermediate passing game though the placement of his throws leaves a lot to be desired.
Caleb Spencer	WR	87	4Sr	FA	Fearless pass catcher who also effectively blocks downfield. Marginal size/speed numbers will leave him on the outside looking in on draft day.
