0:00.0	What's up everybody? Welcome back to Through the Smoke a Miami Hurricanes podcast here on the 24-7 Sports Network
0:07.3	A bit of an emergency episode Miami was on a buy this past weekend, but a lot of recruiting news has happened over the past really 48 hours.
0:16.9	So we're taping this Monday, midday afternoon.
0:21.6	Yeah, following the commitments from Darren Branch and Marcus Fleming.
