Hurricanes Weekly

Joe Z and Don Bailey Jr. talk about how the transfer portal and how it effects the University of Miami.

An outstanding recruiter with unrivaled knowledge of the game and passion for teaching, the 2021-22 season marks the 25th illustrious year for Paige Yaroshuk-Tews with the University of Miami women’s tennis team, including her 21st as head coach.

The program’s all-time winningest coach, Yaroshuk-Tews has turned the Hurricanes into a force nationally, leading Miami to the NCAA’s Elite Eight in eight of the last 17 tournaments, the seventh-most quarterfinal appearances in the nation during that span. The Hurricanes have also made the Sweet 16 on 13 occasions during that stretch, one of eight programs to do so.

In her 20 years at Miami, Yaroshuk-Tews boasts an overall record of 377-132 (.741) and an ACC career record of 155-44 (.779). As a result of her unparalleled achievements, Yaroshuk-Tews was inducted into the UM Sports Hall of Fame in 2012.

Yaroshuk-Tews’ desire to make Miami a national title contender on a yearly basis has helped the program consistently flourish with all-conference and All-American talent. The Hurricanes have not only made the NCAA Team Championship in each of her years as head coach–excluding 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the postseason–but have also won at least one NCAA match every season. UM qualified for the ITA National Team Indoor Championships 12 straight years, from 2005-16, and was ranked in the top 10 at some point during the season in each of those campaigns. Yaroshuk-Tews annually brings in some of the top prep talent, reloading year in and year out for a program consistently ranked among the nation’s best.

Since taking the head coaching position for the women’s tennis program at Miami in 2001, Yaroshuk-Tews has led the Hurricanes on an unprecedented run in Coral Gables, Fla. In total, she has directed Miami to 13 Sweet 16 berths, eight Elite Eight trips and an appearance in the 2006 NCAA final, the program’s first since 1985.

Miami hosted the first and second rounds of the NCAA Team Championship 13 times under Yaroshuk-Tews, including 12 straight years each from 2005-2016. The Hurricanes have turned in 18 straight ITA top-25 finishes, including 13 in the top 15. In eight of the last 15 completed seasons, Miami has ended the year in the top 10.

Individually, Yaroshuk-Tews has guided two players to NCAA Singles Championship crowns, as Audra Cohen won the hardware in 2007 and Estela Perez-Somarriba did so in 2019. Miami is one of just three schools with multiple NCAA singles titles in the past 14 tournaments, alongside Stanford and Virginia. Six Hurricanes have combined for nine semifinals berths during that stretch, with both totals the highest marks of any program since 2007.

Sixteen different Hurricanes have garnered a total of 35 ITA All-American honors under Yaroshuk-Tews, the former a program record for a coach. In 17 of her 20 seasons, at least one Hurricane has been named an All-American, with multiple players receiving the honor in 10 of them. Under Yaroshuk-Tews’ watch, 18 Hurricanes have combined for 38 All-ACC distinctions and 28 Miami players have totaled 50 Academic All-ACC recognitions. In addition, four Hurricanes have totaled six ACC Player of the Year plaudits and four have combined for six ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors.

Most recently, the Hurricanes posted a 15-9 (8-5 ACC) mark in 2021, reaching the second round of the NCAA Team Championship and finishing No. 20 nationally. Miami earned two top-10 wins, knocking off eighth-ranked Virginia at home and sixth-ranked Florida State in the ACC Championship to reach the semifinals for the fifth consecutive time. Estela Perez-Somarriba posted a 24-3 singles mark on her way to reaching the NCAA Singles Championship title match for the second straight time and claiming ITA National Player of the Year honors as the nation’s top-ranked player. She finished her illustrious career at 165-26, g ...

Secondary Coach

Jahmile Addae is in his first season as a member of the Miami Hurricanes Football coaching staff, where he serves as secondary coach.

Addae arrives in Coral Gables after spending the 2021 season in a similar capacity at Georgia, where he helped guide the Bulldogs to a national championship. Addae, who was ranked the second-best recruiter in the country during the 2022 cycle by 247Sports.com, led a secondary that ranked among the nation’s elite in nearly every category.

“Jahmile Addae is a gamechanger for our staff,” head coach Mario Cristobal said upon Addae’s hiring. “His units rank among the nation’s top-performing units every year. He has championship experience, he is one of the nation’s top recruiters, and he has fostered a culture of mental and physical toughness in the secondary at every stop of his career. Coach Addae is a tremendous addition to our program, and I know he will make his impact felt on our defensive identity.”

Addae’s secondary ranked No. 13 in the nation in pass defense in 2021, allowing just 190 passing yards per game. The Bulldogs ranked second nationally in passing efficiency defense and picked off 16 passes, which was the eighth-best mark in the country.

In addition, the Bulldogs were No. 1 in scoring defense, No. 1 in red zone defense and No. 2 in total defense.

“I’m excited. A lot of people have talked about bringing The U back,” Addae said upon his hiring. “I like to think of it as, The U never left. It’s more about doing our diligence and making sure we’re developing the caliber of players that people are used to here at the University of Miami.

“I’m super excited to be here. I remember playing against Miami when they were on a 34-game winning streak. It was Ken Dorsey, Andre Johnson, Bryant McKinnie…all the big names that we know. Those were some daunting teams. You walked out on that field and you felt the presence of those guys. That is what we’re trying to bring back. How do you do that? Win football games and develop talent.”

A native of Valrico, Fla., Jahmile in 2020 led a passing defense at West Virginia that ranked first nationally in Fewest Passing Yards Allowed at 159.6 yards per game. The Mountaineers, who capped their season by beating Army in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, finished fourth in the country in Total Defense (283.5 y/g) and tallied 11 interceptions that they returned 112 yards.

In his first year at WVU, he coached two All-Big 12 Conference selections in Keith Washington II and Josh Norwood and freshman All-American Tykee Smith. Washington II finished with a team-leading three interceptions and a team-tying nine pass breakups for 12 passes defended, ranking No. 23 nationally. Hakeem Bailey tied Washington II for the team lead with nine pass breakups, ranking No. 9 in the Big 12. Smith was second on the team in interceptions with two, including one he returned for a touchdown against Iowa State.

A former Mountaineer all-conference safety, Addae returned to WVU in January 2019, after serving as the defensive backs coach and assisting with several special teams’ phases at Minnesota in 2018. His punt return unit finished No. 1 in the nation (22.3 yards per return), punt return defense was No. 2 (1.11 y/r) and the kickoff return unit finished No. 26 nationally (23.4 y/r).

Prior to Minnesota, Addae spent five years at Arizona, coaching the defensive backs in 2016-17 and serving as an analyst from 2013-15. Addae developed a youthful defensive secondary into some of the team’s top performers. In 2017, Lorenzo Burns, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, Scottie Young and Jace Whittaker combined for 261 tackles, 24 pass breakups and 12 interceptions.

In 2010-11, Addae was the running backs coach at Cincinnati, where he mentored All-Big East Second-Team select ...
