'CANES HOOPER TO TRY TIGHT END FOR THE FOOTBALL TEAM

Jimmy Graham, a 6-foot-8, 255 pound, forward on the Miami basketball team will be playing football next season for the Hurricanes.”Randy Shannon sat me down, we had a little conversation, and I made a decision to come back to colege,” Graham said before the basketball team banquet. “I’m really excited. Now I can’t foul out. Now I can be as aggressive as I want to be. I’m excited to be hit for the first time. I know I’m giving up money I had on the table to be a pro basketball player.”Graham averaged four points and six rebounds a game during his senior season, while also being honored as the basketball team’s most outstanding defender. He most likely was going to join a pro team overseas before deciding to join the Hurricanes football team during his fifth year of college. He was timed last week running a 4.6 forty-yard dash.”This is a great program, nd I see this as a chance to play a sport at the highest levels,” Graham said.
