Summary
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.

| 0:00.0 | What's up, everyone. Welcome back to Through the Smoke a Miami Hurricanes podcast here on the 24-7 Sports Network. I'm Andrew Ivins with my man, David Lake. David, sound the alarm. Emergency podcast. Yeah, I woke up at 5.30 this morning to the news. I'm an old man, so I was well asleep |
| 0:25.8 | when the decommitment happened at, I think, around 10.30, right? So we're doing this emergency |
| 0:32.4 | podcast at 6.20 in the morning at Friday. And my apologies if you hear some background noise, the late |
| 0:41.1 | crew is waking up, getting ready for school. So you might hear some frozen being played in the |
| 0:47.7 | background, etc., etc. So I'm trying to not talk too loud because my household is still sleeping. I've already |
| 0:55.7 | worked out though and I've slept four hours because when the nation's number five pro |
| 1:02.7 | style quarterback decides to decommit, you got to drop everything and start working. And we are |

| 1:14.9 | native, but he's playing his senior season in the state of Georgia. Jake announced on Thursday |
| 1:21.5 | night that he was formally opening his recruitment back up to explore his options. And as soon as that happened, |

| 1:46.6 | yeah i'll have to admit you know we we had preached patience right during the whole process with |
| 1:53.5 | jake garcia and i think we made it clear like this kind of just was the plan miami was sticking to |
| 2:00.0 | but in terms of the ability to get it done, |
| 2:04.7 | you know, as as the calendar turned to December, I had kind of lost faith that Miami would be able |
| 2:12.4 | to pull off the flip. So, you know, am I surprised in that regard? Yes. But I think you and I both thought |
| 2:21.1 | if Miami was able to get a 2021 high school quarterback recruit, it would be Jake Garcia. I think back to |
| 2:30.4 | when we went to go watch Valdaa play, right? What was that? October. And, you know, |
| 2:37.5 | I think you and I both went into that. You did the interview, but we were both kind of like |
