In the latest edition of Through The Smoke, we take a dive into the 2023 recruiting cycle. 

The Miami Hurricanes are looking to land a top five class in the first full recruiting cycle of the Mario Cristobal era and we share the early names to know that can help get that done. 

How many Top 100 recruits does Miami need to land in 2023? How many five-stars is needed to get into the top five? Who are the players to know that can help get that done?

InsideTheU’s David Lake and Gaby Urrutia set the table for this early stage of the 2023 cycle.

We also share our thoughts on Miami hiring Frank Ponce as quarterback coach. 

It took Mario Cristobal long enough, but you can't argue with the results of bringing in Josh Gattis and Kevin Steele. Cristobal's spending spree is thanks to a new mindset at Miami, which is tired of being a college football also-ran.
