00:00Not only are the Miami Hurricanes still actively looking for defensive players to join the team through the portal,
00:06friend of the show Gio Milian has reported that there will be more departures within the next couple of days.
00:12Now, how can that happen when the portal is technically closed now, at least closed for players to enter?
00:18There could be certain guys who filed their paperwork by the deadline, which was midnight a couple nights ago,
00:25that have not been revealed yet or have not been reported yet.
00:29We're answering Transfer Portal questions on this episode from our Locked on Canes Insider Chat,
00:35and I figured they'd mostly be about defensive tackles, and I was correct on that.
00:40We get one from Parkland Dan, who says,
00:43It's all defensive line, Dono. Can we get the DT from Michigan State and the DN from Tennessee?
00:49Is Moten ready to be in the too deep at defensive tackle,
00:52or will we need to line up defensive ends in the middle on a regular basis, he says.
00:58All right. Well, Simeon Barrow is the defensive tackle for Michigan State.
01:02Let me start with him because he's been a huge topic.
01:05It appears that his final three, maybe a dark horse could sneak into the finals,
01:10but it appears to be between the three schools that he has visited.
01:14And those are Miami, LSU and Mizzou.
01:18And Simeon Barrow plans to make a decision by Sunday at the latest.
01:24Like he's going to make a decision this weekend, maybe if he decides not to take another visit somewhere,
01:29which I think is the way this is trending.
01:31He could decide a little bit sooner, but I think at the very latest by Sunday,
01:35we're going to know when Barrow, where Barrow ends up.
01:38I do hear a lot of positivity from the Miami point of view.
01:42And an important distinction here is,
01:44not only am I hearing positivity from a Miami side on being in pretty good shape with Barrow,
01:51you also hear some people who cover their rival teams who are looking at Miami
01:56potentially being the team to beat here.
01:58And that's usually a good sign when you have both of those factors,
02:02because I only, folks, when I'm looking at where Miami stands with a recruit
02:06or with a transfer portal player, I not only look to the Miami point of view,
02:10I also look to the point of views of others.
02:12And that usually gives you a more complete picture.
02:15Like I don't strictly go the Homer route when I'm researching players and all that.
