WHAT’S UP TODAY
First up this morning in your Miami Hurricanes news?
We discuss Canes head coach Mario Cristobal, who CaneSport.com publisher Gary Ferman believes has pulled back the curtain and taken control of the Miami Hurricanes narrative. You don’t want to miss that.
We continue our annual series breaking down the top 50 players on the current roster, and today we take a look at No. 39, Chase Smith, who is hoping this is finally his year.
We also dive into Miami’s running back room and why they could be the Hurricanes’ biggest offensive surprise this season — but it’s not what you think. Make sure to give this one a read.
In recruiting, we have another installment of our Inside Canes Recruiting Podcast with Izubee Charles and Stephen Wagner, who discuss CaneSport’s latest 2026 mock class, a new name in the Hurricanes’ tight end picture, and spring standouts.
