    Miami Hurricanes Hosting Top DL Recruits This Weekend, Coaches Finding Chemistry? FINAL FOUR

    The Miami Hurricanes host another big recruiting weekend at Greentree practice fields in Coral Gables. The Canes will welcome in top defensive linemen David Stone and LJ McCray. Stone, from IMG Academy, visited last weekend solo and he’s bringing his family along this time around. McCray, from Mainland (FL), could be a great addition if the Hurricanes can eventually earn a pledge from him. 
    Recruiting expert Larry Blustein joins host Alex Donno to talk about a big weekend for the University of Miami football and basketball programs. Blu discusses new Hurricanes assistants, TE Coach Cody Woodiel, RB coach Tim Harris Jr. and WR coach Kevin Beard. Will this staff be able to build chemistry in a way last year’s staff never did? Blu and Donno break down quarterback recruit Air Noland from Langston Hughes high in Georgia. The 4-star recruit will announce a verbal commitment on April 8th. Can Miami beat competition from Texas A&M, Ohio State and others?
    Larry gives Donno his keys and predictions for the Final Four. The Miami Hurricanes will take on a tough UConn Huskies team on Saturday in the hopes of advancing to the championship game against the winner of FAU vs San Diego State!

    PREVIEWING The Miami Hurricanes vs UConn Huskies In The FINAL FOUR w/ Canes Voice Joe Zagacki!

    PREVIEWING The Miami Hurricanes vs UConn Huskies In The FINAL FOUR w/ Canes Voice Joe Zagacki!

    The Miami Hurricanes will face the UConn Huskies this Saturday night in Houston in the FINAL FOUR! The radio voice of the Canes, Joe Zagacki, joins host Alex Donno to preview the matchup. Can the Hurricanes slow down the potent offensive duo of Crawford and Sanogo? How will Jim Larranaga scheme up Miami to bounce back as a three point shooting team? The Hurricanes were the top 3-point team in the ACC during the regular season. They only shot 2 for 8 from outside the ark against Texas, so they’ll need to improve that against the Huskies. 
    Joe described how Coach L has an answer for just about any questions thrown his way in the coaching game. Joe paints the picture for how well Canes Hoops is now being received in the community. The city of Miami is embracing this Cinderella Canes team. Joe breaks down the crucial matchup between Miami’s Norchad Omier and UConn’s Adama Sanoga. Sanoga and Omier are very similar players. Will the Hurricanes survive and advance against the favored Huskies?

    Miami Hurricanes QB Jacurri Brown Is Throwing DIMES In Practice, Defensive Backfield, Ruiz On ESPN

    Miami Hurricanes QB Jacurri Brown Is Throwing DIMES In Practice, Defensive Backfield, Ruiz On ESPN

    Miami Hurricanes quarterback Jacurri Brown is showing massive improvements as a passer in spring practice. If you don’t believe it, perhaps you didn’t see the perfect deep ball that he threw to freshman receiver Robby Washington in team drills? Washington made an incredible over-the-shoulder catch on a picture perfect throw. This week, Tyler Van Dyke has mentioned Brown’s footwork is improving and that is helping him throw a more accurate ball. 
    Host Alex Donno takes questions from listeners. You can tweet the show @LockedOnCanes. Donno describes where Miami stands with transfer portal receivers Gary Bryant Jr from USC and Tyler Harrell from Alabama. He worries about Oregon landing Bryant and notes that it appears to be Miami vs. Texas A&M for Harrell. Miami will have other options available when the portal reopens in May. Donno gives his assessment of John Ruiz on ESPN, a full breakdown of the defensive secondary, and whether the Hurricanes are building more chemistry.

    Will 4-Star QB Air Noland Pick The Miami Hurricanes? Most Improved Canes In Spring, Basketball Odds

    Will 4-Star QB Air Noland Pick The Miami Hurricanes? Most Improved Canes In Spring, Basketball Odds

    4-star Langston Hughes (GA) quarterback Air Noland will be announcing his verbal commitment for the class of 2024 on April 8th. The Miami Hurricanes are believed to be the slight favorites according to recent trends, but there are few confident predictions on who he will choose. Texas A&M, Alabama, Ole Miss and Clemson are also in the mix. Noland is a dangerous dual-threat passer with a fast release. He has a great relationship with some of the top receivers in the class like JoJo Trader, Jeremiah Smith and Chance Robinson. 
    Host Alex Donno explains why he believes Noland is the single most important player on Miami’s recruiting board right now, and what landing him could do for their class of 2024 momentum. If Noland puts on a Miami hat next week, other top players will follow his lead. The Hurricanes currently only have one verbal commitment, from kicker Abram Murray. Donno breaks down other top performers from Miami Hurricanes spring football so far. Players like Rueben Bain, Daryl Porter, Robby Washington, Bobby Washington and Ray Ray Joseph have earned praise from Mario Cristobal. 
    Donno discusses the Hurricanes basketball team being a 5 and a half point underdog against UConn and why he believes they will cover and win. The Hurricanes are one of the best free throw shooting teams, best 3-point shooting teams, and most well rounded in the country. Miami has multiple players who can score at a high clip like Isaiah Wong, Jordan Miller, Nijel Pack and Wooga Poplar. Keeping Norchad Omier out of foul trouble will be key.

    Miami Hurricanes Spring Practice #7 RECAP: Francisco Mauigoa & Henry Parrish Jr. Standing Out!

    Miami Hurricanes Spring Practice #7 RECAP: Francisco Mauigoa & Henry Parrish Jr. Standing Out!

    The Miami Hurricanes began week three of spring football practice with linebacker Francisco Mauigoa and running back Henry Parrish Jr. among the standouts. Head coach Mario Cristobal praised both after practice. Mauigoa intercepted Tyler Van Dyke late in team drills. The Hurricanes continue to see Francisco’s younger brother Francis, an early enrollee, earn starter’s reps at right tackle. 
    Host Alex Donno offers a full recap to spring practice number 7 with further observations on quarterbacks Tyler Van Dyke, Jacurri Brown and Emory Williams. Williams shows an impressive base with his footwork in drills. He was clearly very well coached in high school. Donno was also impressed by WR Colbie Young, running back Don Chaney Jr. and freshmen tight ends Riley Williams and Jackson Carver. 
    Donno recaps a handful of recruiting visitors, including cornerbacks Jamari Howard and Jon Mitchell. Donno had a chance to meet Hialeah Westland quarterback Max Lawrence, who is hoping to stay home in South Florida in the class of 2023. Donno asks which of Miami’s current top 5 offensive linemen would move to the bench if and when Zion Nelson gets healthy again. Zion will reportedly be ready for the start of fall camp.
