1 month ago | on3.com | Matt Shodell

The transfer portal opens today, and the Miami Hurricanes are expected to be fairly active with potential top end needs remaining at wide receiver, defensive tackle, middle linebacker and safety. To some extent the last few seasons under Mario Cristobal have been a live-by-the-portal, die-by-the-portal approach, and last year’s season certainly was impacted immensely by QB add Cam Ward, right? But the question remains at which point you feel younger, unproven guys can be an answer vs.
