00:00Who do you think is relying on the transfer portal too much?
00:03And do you put Miami anywhere near that conversation?
00:07I think they're in the flux, but here's the situation.
00:11If you've got a hole at a key spot,
00:12like defensive tackle we've talked about
00:15for a couple of years,
00:16they needed to go out and try to get something
00:18in terms of size and they've done that.
00:20If they didn't, I mean, they're in trouble.
00:23My point is you can't just automatically throw money
00:26at these kids with NIL and make it work
00:29because then you can possibly take off other guys.
00:31It's a very fine line
00:32and it's not a Mario Cristobal problem.
00:34This is a 133 teams in college football's power five
00:37or FBS problem.
00:39So who do you depend on too much?
00:41Miami's dinked and dunked here and there
00:43because their recruiting has been so good
00:44the last couple of years.
00:46They've gotten away from not having to do it much
00:48and just take certain players.
00:50But there are certain teams like Ole Miss,
00:52I think went way too far in.
00:53Like I think they're going to run their culture.
00:56And they took a few guys I'm not sure about.
00:59Ohio State, they went from not really using it very much
01:02to they spent $30 million or something.
01:04I saw some crazy total.
01:05And I'm like, I don't know how that's going to work.
01:08And I know Ryan Day can coach and I know they got players,
01:11but that worries me.
01:12There's a handful of teams
01:14and there's different ways to look at it.
01:15But Miami's just on the fringe
01:17because they tried to fill holes.
01:19They didn't just take guys to take guys.
01:20So there's a difference, but it's not perfect either.
01:24But this is the roster that Mario and his staff inherited.
01:28And it takes three to four years to build a true roster.
01:30There is no shortcut, although Miami fans have no patience
01:33and don't want to hear that.
01:34It's just the reality.
01:36So you got to do what you got to do.
