Welcome back to another edition of Through the Smoke, a Miami Hurricanes football and recruiting podcast here on the 24-7 Sports Network.

David Lake, joined as always by Gabby Urruthia, and we are here to kind of discuss

roster management, share kind of what we know about maybe some coaching buzz in terms of

Mario Cristobal building out his staff.

And like I said, discuss some recent additions to the roster and we will break down maybe some potential additions that Miami might be exploring or should explore. So it's the offseason. I think the

transfer portal has made it even more fun than it normally is in terms of talent acquisition.

And I think now that we are through the early signing period, we will start to see more and

more smoke with staff additions for Mario Cristobal.

But before we get into that topic, I think we should revisit Friday, Gabby.

You know, last day of the early signing period, Miami went out with a bang,

landing top 100 tight end,

Jaliel Skinner from Alabama.

It was definitely a situation

where Alabama wanted Jaliel Skinner.

It wasn't like they were, quote, unquote,

dropping him like our Florida State friends

slash fans would lead you to believe.

This was a straight up recruiting battle win for Mario Cristobal.

And so, yeah, now that I know you did an instant reaction with Chris,

that was on YouTube and on this podcast feed.

But now that that dust is kind of settled here, Gabby,

do you have any new thoughts or tidbits on just how big that recruiting win was?
