#461: Miami's Huge Recruiting Wins | Coke Dog

CBS Sports just dropped their most complete roster rankings — and Miami came in at No. 6 in the country. Up from 15 last year. The boys break down what that means, whether this offense can touch Cam Ward's era, and where Darian Mensah fits into the conversation. On the recruiting front: two recent flips, A.J. Randall Jr.'s commitment timeline, and the ongoing linebacker depth question with two senior starters. Plus a deep look at whether the wide receiver room — with Cooper, Malley, and a loaded depth chart — is actually the best position group on the team right now. Then things go sideways, as they always do. A Texas Tech quarterback in court suing the NCAA for the right to play after betting on his own team. A 464-pound offensive lineman's brief NFL career. The UFL's empty stadiums. Canes baseball's pitching woes heading into the ACC Tournament. TSA's new weed policy and what that means for airport beagles. And someone named Coke Dog closes out the show. Classic OBB. Off-season has never sounded better.
