Locked On Canes - Daily Podcast On Miami Hurricanes Football & Basketball

The Miami Hurricanes seem confident that their first weekend of June official visits is going very well. Details on Kamarion Franklin’s visit are scarce so far, but host Alex Donno believes that it’s a Miami Hurricanes vs. Tennessee Volunteers battle for the 5-star defensive lineman. The visit for 4-star WR Jerrae “Tank” Hawkins is producing great feedback from the player. Tank plans to announce his destination in late June. 4-star WR Drelon Miller also plans to announce this month, and things are trending nicely for Miami. Donno believes the Hurricanes have a good chance for 4-star LB James Nesta. The Hurricanes are making Juco CB Demetrius Freeney feel like a priority. Guest Raymond Bourg joins Donno to share his insight and perspective on conference realignment. Raymond does not feel the ACC is sustainable with their current revenue model and feels Miami needs to keep exploring an exit for the Big 10, Big 12 or SEC. He explains why a redistribution of revenue is likely to anger certain schools and lead to an eventual dissolution of the conference. Would the Big 10 be a good destination for Miami with the possibility of so many cold weather games? You can chat with Donno any time on our new Subtext SMS texting service.

Reports are circulating that the Miami Hurricanes are attempting to flip class of 2024 quarterback Colin Hurley from his LSU commitment. Hurley grew up a Hurricanes fan and has been on Miami’s campus multiple times through the years. Host Alex Donno explains that it might be a longshot to get this flip, and getting a second quarterback in the class is not something Miami is desperate for. The Hurricanes already have Jones County (GA) QB Judd Anderson committed. Donno welcomes in show favorites Chalupa Batman and Hoodie Girl as guests. They discuss Miami’s quarterback recruiting plans, Miami’s transfer portal, and offer updates on the Canes Basketball offseason and Canes Baseball regional matchup with Texas TONIGHT. The Hurricanes currently have 5-star defensive lineman Kamarion Franklin on campus for an official visit. How is his visit going so far? The Canes are also hosting 4-star WRs Tank Hawkins and Drelon Miller, 4-star linebacker James Nesta, 3-star edge Wyatt Gilmore and JUCO cornerback Demetrius Freeney.

The Miami Hurricanes have turned around more than a third of their roster between transfer portal additions and 2023 recruiting. Miami finished with a top 10 class in both the portal and recruiting, laying a foundation of depth for the future. Recruiting and high school football expert Larry Blustein joined host Alex Donno to discuss how much Miami has truly improved. Blu had warned Donno before the 2022 season that Miami’s roster was in the worst shape it’s been in decades. Larry explains why he feels Miami’s roster has dramatically improved in just one year’s time, especially at spots like cornerback, offensive line, linebacker, running back and wide receiver. Donno and Blu debate how many extra wins fans might be able to expect from last season. The guys chat about some of Miami’s top recruiting targets who will be visiting this month. The Hurricanes are said to be top two right now for 5-star EDGE Dylan Stewart. Can Miami win a battle against South Carolina for his signature? Miami is hosting 4-star WR Drelon Miller this weekend. It looks to be a Canes vs USC Trojans battle for him. The Hurricanes have 4-star TE Amir Jackson on campus today for an unofficial visit. Florida appears to be the favorite for Jackson. Can Miami beat out the Texas Longhorns for 4-star IMG Academy running back Jerrick Gibson? Donno and Blu discuss how Miami’s recruiting is becoming more national than local and whether or not this is a good thing. You can chat with Donno any time on our new Subtext SMS texting service.

A massive weekend of official visits will kick off a crazy month of June for the Miami Hurricanes. Only Georgia and Ohio State are currently scheduled to host more top 100 players in the month of June than Miami. The Canes will be hosting 4-star DL Kamarion Franklin, 4-star receivers Tank Hawkins & Drelon Miller, 4-star linebacker James Nesta and 3-star LB Keyshawn Flowers from June 2nd - 4th. Will Miami come out of this first OV weekend with any verbal commits? Locked On Network recruiting expert Brian Smith joins host Alex Donno to break down the visitors this weekend. Brian thinks Miami has a good shot to make Drelon Miller the first verbal commit out of this weekend’s group. The guys discuss 5-star Chaminade WR Jeremiah Smith, an Ohio State commit, who reportedly locked in a June 21st Miami visit. Can the Canes flip him? Meanwhile, the Hurricanes seem to be in good position to flip a pair of Georgia verbal commits in 5-star CB Ellis Robinson IV and 4-star safety Jaylen Heyward. Where does Miami stand with Rohan Marley’s nephew, 4-star LB Chris Cole? You can chat with Donno any time on our new Subtext SMS texting service.

Athlon Sports has predicted an 8-4 season and 4th place ACC finish for the Miami Hurricanes in 2023. The publication has released their season previews and they quoted an anonymous ACC assistant coach for a full take on the Miami Hurricanes. The coach described his shock for how poorly Miami played despite their talent in 2022 and how former offensive coordinator Josh Gattis was problematic. He painted a rosier picture for 2023 if Miami’s talent is up to the task of rising to the occasion under more aggressive play callers on both sides of the football. Host Alex Donno reacts to his take and offers his critiques on what the anonymous coach may have left out of his assessment. Donno describes the latest recruiting buzz on Georgia commit, safety Jaylen Heyward who Miami is trying to flip, and Salem, VA linebacker Chris Cole. Cole is the nephew of former Miami LB Rohan Marley. Alex welcomes The Truth Teller Bruce Warner and former Hurricanes receiver Darryl Spencer to the show. Spencer won two national titles at The U in 1989 and 1991. He recapped the amazing battles on the Greentree Practice Field and how Miami can get back to that competition level. He talked about his former teammate Mario Cristobal and why he is the right man to turn The U around. Spencer gave his predictions on how Miami will look next season.

Is the Miami Hurricanes stock “rising” at virtually every position group? Host Alex Donno examines the depth and expected starters all over the field and whether they are better off at each spot than they were in 2022. Donno is buying big on the WR room after adding transfers Shemar Kirk, Tyler Harrell and incoming freshmen Ray Ray Joseph and Robbie Washington. Donno is high on running back after the Canes added Nebraska transfer Ajay Allen and incoming freshmen Mark Fletcher and Chris Johnson. The offensive line should also see a significant boost after adding Alabama transfer guard Javion Cohen, UCF transfer center Matt Lee and incoming freshmen like Francis Mauigoa and Samson Okunlola. Donno loves the addition of Francisco Mauigoa, the Washington State transfer, at linebacker. Is Alex too bullish on 2022 or are there some position groups he isn’t “buying” just yet?

The Miami Hurricanes have one of the most impressive official visit schedules in the entire country for the month of June. The Hurricanes have just locked on an OV for 5-star EDGE Colin Simmons for the weekend of June 9th. Other five starts David Stone, Aydin Breland, Dylan Stewart, Ellis Robinson IV and Jerrick Gibson will be on campus that same weekend. Host Alex Donno argues that he would be surprised and disappointed if the Hurricanes don’t manage another top 10 or top 7 class in 2024. Donno discusses feedback from On3’s director of recruiting Chad Simmons on where the Hurricanes currently stand with 5-star WR Ryan Wingo and 5-star EDGE Dylan Stewart.

The Miami Hurricanes have the 8th ranked Transfer Portal class per 247 Sports, but did the Canes land enough game-changers? Host Alex Donno and guest Bruce Warner debate the value of the newest Canes. Donno feels that Tyler Harrell, with his 4.2 speed, will force opposing D-Coordinators to game-plan for him. Donno is also super high on LG Javion Cohen, C Matt Lee, LB Francisco Mauigoa, RB Ajay Allen and WR Shemar Kirk. Bruce is concerned about too many “what-ifs” with these new transfers and worries that Miami should have done better on the D-Line. The guys discuss who they expect to start next to Leonard Taylor at the second defensive tackle spot. Bruce is not ruling out Branson Deen, the transfer from Purdue, to land a starting job. Donno brings up the fact that Miami Columbus EDGE Daylen Russell has the Hurricanes in his top 3 along with Louisville and Nebraska. The 3-star class of 2024 prospect will be announcing his commitment on Saturday and the Hurricanes are trending. If Miami indeed lands Russell, will fans complain about taking another 3-star player?

The Miami Hurricanes have landed a class of 2026 commitment from IMG Academy cornerback Ksani Jiles. Jiles, heading into his sophomore season, impressed coaching this past week while filling in as a starter for 5-star CB Ellis Robinson IV. Jiles surprisingly made a very early pledge to Miami on Monday evening. Host Alex Donno brings on resident scout Brian Smith to discuss what Jiles brings to the table, where he will soon rank as a recruit, and why he decided to commit so early in the process. Alex and Brian discuss how Miami is trending positively in the recruitment of class of 2024 5-star defensive lineman Aydin Breland. The Southern California Mater Dei standout will be making his official visit to The U on the weekend of June 9th. How does Breland compare with other top Miami targets on the interior defensive line like David Stone and Justin Scott? Who fits best in Lance Guidry’s defensive scheme? Brian gives his scouting report on new Miami target, 4-star edge Elias Rudolph. He explains why Tuscaloosa County 4-star running back Kevin Riley, a top Miami target, would be a valuable asset at The U. You can chat with Donno any time on our new Subtext SMS texting service.

Rival fans have been taunting the Miami Hurricanes for “settling for too many 3-star” players in the class of 2024. So far, 7 of Miami’s 8 verbal commits in the class are 3-stars, with the lone exception being 4-star wide receiver Chance Robinson. Guest Larry Blustein, a high school football expert, joins host Alex Donno to explain the scouting process and why he does not believe in the star system. Blu and Donno discuss Miami commits like LB Vincent Shavers, QB Judd Anderson, Safeties Isaiah Thomas and Dylan Day and running back Chris Wheatley-Humphry and why the stars don’t tell the full story here. Blu explains some of the politics that go into the star system and why he scouts the same way he’s been doing since the 1970’s. There have been instances where Miami will prioritize a 3 or a 4 star over a certain 5-star player if the personality is not a fit.

The Miami Hurricanes have received another prediction to land 5-star defensive tackle Justin Scott in the class of 2024. This time, it was Steven Wagner from CaneSport (On3) who logged an RPM prediction for the Chicago St. Ignatious standout to pick the University of Miami. Host Alex Donno discusses how Miami has managed to seemingly pull ahead in his recruitment and why Scott is such a special player. Donno discusses the Hurricanes making an offer for 4-star class of 2024 EDGE Elias Rudolph. Rudolph previously played in Cincinnati, OH but just moved down to Deerfield Beach for his senior season. Michigan and Ohio State have been leaders in his recruitment to this point, but now the Hurricanes are coming in strong. Donno discusses running back Kevin Riley out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, who he believes the Canes are very interested in. Plus, Alex recaps a record breaking weekend on the track for Hurricanes signee, running back Chris Johnson. You can chat with Donno any time on our new Subtext SMS texting service.

The Miami Hurricanes landed a commit from 3-star Miami Central linebacker Vincent Shavers on Friday night. There are hints out that that more “movement” could be happening soon in recruiting. Host Alex Donno and guest Chalupa Batman discuss possible candidates to commit to Miami in the near future. Could safety Zaquan Patterson, tight end Kory Duff Jr. or ATH Ricky Knight III be the next domino to drop? Alex and Chalupa discuss Miami’s new transfer wide receivers, Tyler Harrell and Shemar Kirk, and which of them is more likely to earn a starting job this fall. The guys discuss frustration among certain members of the fanbase with Miami accepting so many 3-star players in recruitment. Should the Hurricanes be holding out for more 4 and 5 star prospects? The guys discuss the topic of conference realignment and why they still feel the ACC is in trouble despite positive rhetoric after the spring meetings. Did the ACC really offer the “Magnificent Seven” a raise, or just more hours? You can chat with Donno any time on our new Subtext SMS texting service.

Who will be the best Miami Hurricanes football player at each position? Host Alex Donno makes the case for players like RB Henry Parrish, WR Xavier Restrepo, IOL Matt Lee, OT Francis Mauigoa, DT Leonard Taylor, EDGE Nyjalik Kelly, TE Elijah Arroyo, CB Davonte Brown and others to answer the call this season. Did Donno make the wrong choice at linebacker? Have the Hurricanes improved their roster and coaching staff enough to earn four or more extra wins this year compared to 2022’s 5-7 record? Donno breaks down a pair of Miami Hurricanes offensive line targets for the class of 2024. Miami is becoming a late player in the mix for IMG Academy offensive tackle Jordan Seaton. Seaton will soon make an unofficial visit to The U and said Miami can earn one of his OV’s if he enjoys his time. Season has dropped over 50 lbs to become quicker and bendier. The Hurricanes also sit in a good position for OL Deryc Plazz from Jacksonville. He will make an official visit to Miami in June. Donno answers questions from listeners on our Subtext community. Do the Hurricanes have enough depth at safety after missing out on Andre Sam to LSU? You can chat with Donno any time on our new Subtext SMS texting service.

The Miami Hurricanes have made the cut as a top five finalist for 5-star running back Jerrick Gibson out of IMG Academy. Gibson has narrowed it down to Miami, Texas, Georgia, Florida and Oklahoma. Texas are considered favorites at the moment, so how much ground can the Canes make up when they host Gibson for an official visit on the weekend of June 9th? The Hurricanes already have 3-star Chris Wheatley-Humphrey committed and are in the mix for 3-star Kewan Lacy. Host Alex Donno explains why Gibson is the most complete running back in the class and how Miami could benefit from landing him. In the meantime, the Hurricanes have a surprising amount of running back depth on paper for the next few seasons. Donno breaks down Miami’s transfer portal to this point. The Canes portal class now ranks 6th in the entire country, two spots ahead of Florida State. Donno explains why Miami might have landed 5-7 starts in the portal for next season. Offensive linemen Javion Cohen and Matt Lee, cornerback Davonte Brown, and linebacker Kiko Mauigoa are virtual locks. Meanwhile, cornerback Jadais Richard and wide receivers Shemar Kirk and Tyler Harrell will also compete for a starting job. Donno shares the latest on Hurricanes Transfer Portal safety target Andre Sam from Tulane. You can chat with Donno any time on our new Subtext SMS texting service.
