00:00 Uh, Miami is believed to be a trending leader with Tyler Baron, who he can make Miami's edge
00:06 rotation, which is already pretty darn good. He can make them sick. I mean, Miami made a big
00:11 addition in the previous transfer portal with Elijah Alston, who had a very good spring.
00:16 He came in from Marshall. I think Alston is someone who you could definitely pencil in as a,
00:20 as a possible starter. You know, you've got Ruben Bain, you've got a key Mesidor. Um,
00:26 even some of the freshmen coming in, Cole McConathy is doing really well. Malik Bryant,
00:31 who's heading into his second year, you know, he moved positions from linebacker to defensive end.
00:36 So Miami's rotation is already really good. You can make that rotation very sick. If you can add
00:41 a guy with proven production the last couple of years in the sec into that rotation. Um,
00:47 I think in the case of Tyler Baron, um, he he's taken his time making his decision
00:54 because he can folks sometimes when you're talking about players,
00:58 having to make their decisions on where they're going to commit through the transfer portal.
01:02 Uh, there's a little bit of like game theory, musical chairs that comes into play where it's
01:08 like, hold on. If I don't commit to this school soon, they might take somebody else. And that's
01:14 going to take my option away. And I feel like I need to kind of rush into a decision. Uh, I,
01:19 I think, I think the opposite's happening with Tyler bear. I think it's a seller's market in
01:23 his favor, right? When it comes with the scarcity of available, especially top quality available
01:29 edge rushers. I think Tyler Baron is in a situation where he can sort of sit back and
01:35 let other schools fight over him and make a decision at his leisure. So I think that's what's
01:40 going on there. Cause his visit to Miami, I want to say was two weekends ago. Was it two and a half?
01:47 Since I just went on a little vacation, all my timetables, like all warped. I don't know what
01:52 day it is. I don't know what month it is, but I think it was about two weeks ago that Baron,
01:56 I think he was here the same weekend that Damien Martinez was here. So it's been a bit,
01:59 it's been a minute. Uh, I guess it was a week and a half ago when he was here. It's been a little
02:03 while since, uh, since Baron visited Miami and he's made other visits. He's still making up his,
02:08 his mind seemingly between, uh, Miami who's been the perceived leader here, uh, USC and Ole miss.
