Through the Smoke: A Miami Hurricanes football podcast

Miami's 2020 season ended with a loss to Oklahoma State on Tuesday night as N'Kosi Perry's attempt at a rally came up short. Andrew Ivins and David Lake have some thoughts on what happened in Orlando. Does Perry leave with D'Eriq King potentially out for eight months or more with a knee injury? Is it time for Manny Diaz to make some changes on the defensive side of the ball? The two try to unpack all that before offering up what the Hurricanes should do in the transfer portal after UM's wide receivers once again disappoint.

Miami got a late Christmas present when D'Eriq King announced that he plans to spend another year with the Hurricanes. Andrew Ivins and David Lake get together to break down what the news means for Manny Diaz and the program in an instant reaction episode of sorts. The two also take a look at the counters situation and talk a little Cheez-It Bowl.

It will be Manny Diaz vs. Mike Gundy next week in Orlando as the Hurricanes and Cowboys will square off against each other in a game that has been hit hard by opt outs. Andrew Ivins and David Lake share thoughts on what to expect out of Miami inside Camping World Stadium before diving into what's available in the transfer portal. The two highlight some options that they think would make sense for the Hurricanes while also discussing whether or not D'Eriq King, Brevin Jordan and others will return to Coral Gables next season.

Miami has its quarterback as the Hurricanes received a signature from Jake Garcia on Wednesday. Andrew Ivins and David Lake get together to recap everything that happened during the first day of the Early Signing Period. The two give some backstory on what happened with Garcia down the stretch while also breaking down what missing on Ja'den McBurrows means. They also share some other stories about the class and cycle.

The biggest recruiting day of the cycle is almost here. Andrew Ivins and David Lake get together to catch you up on what you need to know as the Hurricanes look to finish strong on the recruiting trail. Is FSU still the biggest threat to Miami with Jake Garcia? Is Ja'Den McBurrows going to spurn Michigan and stay home? Who will be available come January and February? Those questions and more are answered.

Mack Brown and the Tar Heels did whatever they wanted to do on Saturday in a beatdown of Miami. Andrew Ivins and David Lake try to figure out what happened. Hint: the linebacker player just wasn't good. The two also try to figure out what Manny Diaz is going to do after an overall positive 2020 season ends in a complete disaster of a performance.

Miami's biggest home game of the season is almost here. Same with the Early Signing Period. Andrew Ivins and David Lake get together to break down North Carolina and share some keys to victory. The two also discuss the latest on a number of remaining recruiting targets for Manny Diaz and the Hurricanes as they look to put the finishing touches on their class.

Miami is 8-1 after an impressive win on the road. Andrew Ivins and David Lake get together to break down the game and share some thoughts on a number of youngsters that got in the game and made an impact. The two also share some thoughts on what the Hurricanes should do with their final few counters while also discussing the latest with Patrick Payton and Jaden McBurrows.

Miami might be trying to close out its 2020 season, but that doesn't mean the recruiting stops. Andrew Ivins and David Lake have an emergency podcast of sorts after four-star quarterback Jake Garcia opened his recruitment back up less than two weeks before the Early Signing Period. Are the Hurricanes in the driver's seat to land his signature? It appears that might be the case, although other schools seem to be involved.

The season continues for the Hurricanes on Saturday as they travel to face the Blue Devils. Andrew Ivins and David Lake get together to preview the game, but before the two do that they talk a little recruiting. They not only break down what happened with Savion Collins, but dive into the latest with a pair of UM targets and highlight a few quarterback options in the transfer portal.
