The Miami Hurricanes enter a crucial third season under Mario Cristobal. The head coach believes the culture has taken a huge step forward and he has a roster ready to compete every Saturday. Cristobal talks about the luxury of having continuity with both coordinators returning. Cristobal discusses what makes transfer quarterback Cam Ward so special. He explains how Miami’s offense will be ready to attack both through the air and on the ground. He describes what to expect from transfer running back Damien Martinez.

Mario Cristobal joins host Alex Donno. Donno also interviews Cam Ward, starting left tackle Jalen Rivers and top linebacker Kiko Mauigoa. The players describe Miami’s team goals for the 2024 season and how they can gel together as a unit. Ward describes his early impressions in Miami and why he decided to play another season in college, rather than going pro. Mauigoa made a similar decision, deciding to return to Miami. Kiko talks about the importance of playing with his younger brother, Miami’s starting right tackle Francis Mauigoa.

What will make this Miami Hurricanes team different from the ones that have underachieved in recent years? Mario Cristobal and the Hurricanes will take center stage on Wednesday at the ACC Kickoff media days. The Hurricanes have made key transfer additions like quarterback Cam Ward, safety Meesh Powell, defensive ends Elijah Alston and Tyler Baron, running back Damien Martinez, WR Sam Brown and defensive tackle Simeon Barrow. With Ward and Powell as notable exceptions, many of these players arrived after Spring Football. Will this talented Hurricanes roster be able to get on the same page by August 31st?

Host Alex Donno discusses the burning questions that Mario Cristobal will need to answer at the ACC Football Kickoff. Will Miami’s team discipline improve from last season? Will this player-led team be able to hold themselves accountable? Has Cristobal taken steps to improve his game day decision making? What will Miami’s running back depth chart look like this season with a talented group, including Damien Martinez, Mark Fletcher, Chris Johnson, Ajay Allen, Jordan Lyle and Chris Wheatley-Humphrey?

The Miami Hurricanes will look to build more recruiting momentum after beating LSU and Florida State for four star cornerback Jaboree Antoine. The Hurricanes are actively recruiting four star corner Ben Hanks Jr and five star defensive lineman Iose Epenesa. Hanks is a local standout from Booker T Washington, but he’s a Florida Gators legacy. Can the Hurricanes beat out their rivals in Gainesville? Epenesa, meanwhile, is an Iowa legacy, but recent trends have considered his recruitment to be a Miami vs Utah battle.

Host Alex Donno talks to Locked On Network recruiting expert Brian Smith. Smith weighs in on where Miami stands with Hanks, Epenesa, and with five star wide receiver Jaime Ffrench. Brian explains why he will favor the Miami Hurricanes to beat the Florida Gators on August 31st. Donno shares quotes from Miami offensive lineman Anez Cooper about how the Hurricanes have shed negative players from their roster. According to Cooper says a couple of teammates “didn’t want to be here” last season, but the players in question have moved on.

The Miami Hurricanes have beaten LSU and Florida State for the verbal commitment of four star cornerback Jaboree Antoine! Antoine is the 8th ranked corner in the class of 2025 and the second rated player from the State of Louisiana. This was an important recruiting win for the Hurricanes after they were beaten by LSU mid-week for five star cornerback DJ Pickett. Antoine’s recruitment trends have gone back and forth between the Hurricanes and Tigers for the past couple days.

Host Alex Donno discusses the importance of this recruiting win after a couple of recent losses on the trail. Miami did well to fight off surges from LSU and FSU over the past week. High school football expert Larry Blustein weighs in for his scouting report on Antoine. Miami now has the 8th ranked Class of 2025.

Miami might lose out to the LSU Tigers for another top cornerback target. After LSU beat the Hurricanes and Oregon for DJ Pickett, the Tigers are becoming the trending favorite for four star DB Jaboree Antoine. Antoine will choose between Miami and LSU on Saturday, July 20th. If the Hurricanes miss on Antoine, their top remaining target will be four star Booker T Washington CB Ben Hanks Jr. The Hurricanes have been trending well with Hanks, but Florida might be tough to beat, since Hanks is a Gators legacy.

Host Alex Donno talks about a tough week for Miami in recruiting but reminds overreacting fans that the Hurricanes just had a very good stretch in early July. Meanwhile, Miami can turn some of these recruitments around if they WIN on the field this fall. The game against Florida could be decisive for Hanks. Where does Miami stand with Columbus HS four star safety Bryce Fitzgerald? Donno recaps his favorite wins in Miami football history.

The Miami Hurricanes are very much alive for some top cornerback targets despite missing out on DJ Pickett. On Saturday, four star cornerback Jaboree Antoine will be announcing his verbal commitment. The New Iberia, Louisiana native will choose between Miami and LSU. He recently removed Florida State from his top three. The Hurricanes are also very much in the mix to land four star corner Ben Hanks Jr. The Booker T Washington (Miami) star is local, but his father played for the Florida Gators. Can Miami beat their rivals in Gainesville?

Host Alex Donno talks with South Florida high school sports expert Larry Blustein. Blu offers his scouting reports on Antoine and Hanks. Larry also breaks down Miami committed safety Hylton Drake Stubbs. Can the Hurricanes land Stubbs’ high school teammate Jaime Ffrench? The Hurricanes are making a heavy push for the five star wideout. Blustein has been covering high school football for decades. He explains what Mario Cristobal’s staff is doing to separate themselves on the recruiting trail.

Five star cornerback DJ Pickett shocked the college football world on Wednesday night by picking LSU over Oregon and Miami. For the past two weeks, top recruiting analysts had considered this a Ducks vs Hurricanes battle, with LSU in third. The narrative flipped very quickly when Pickett put on the purple and gold hat. Miami worked very hard recruiting Pickett and they will not give up between now and National Signing Day in December.

Host Alex Donno and The Truth Teller Bruce Warner discuss this shocking outcome, but detail what Miami will need to do at cornerback. The Hurricanes have already recruited well at defensive back and have a chance to land Jaboree Antoine later this week and Ben Hanks Jr. this fall.

Are the Miami Hurricanes about to miss out on their top recruiting target? On3 Vice President Steve Wiltfong and other national recruiting experts have begun logging crystal balls in favor of Oregon to land five star cornerback DJ Pickett. Oregon and Miami have been in a tug of war for Pickett’s verbal commitment, and he’s scheduled to announce on Wednesday. Are the national pundits selling the Hurricanes short here?

Host Alex Donno and guest “The Truth Teller” Bruce Warner discuss their continued confidence in Miami landing Pickett, but they wonder what Wiltfong, Tom Loy of 247Sports, and other experts know about this process. As far as they know, Pickett has not informed Oregon or Miami of his decision. The guys discuss a new report from Action Network’s Brett McMurphy stating that the Big Ten is not interested in adding Florida State. One of the reasons he stated is because they have shown to be a “disruptive member” of the ACC. Is Miami taking the proper approach by moving in silence? Donno and Warner give their top five players on the Hurricanes this season.
