A six-pack of Canes notes on a Thursday:
u25aa We noted in a piece earlier this month that one of the first things Manny Diaz did as UM coach was appoint a bunch of players as team leaders and charge them with the task of keeping an eye on members of their group and holding them accountable.
Those player-leaders then “drafted” teammates who would be part of their groups.
Without offering details of his plan, Diaz discussed the importance of that concept in a podcast with The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman last week.
