Miami is shooting 22% from three through its first three games, and former Cane, NBA champion and Olympian Davon Reed has the fix. Davon checks back in from South Korea to break down Miami's 2-1 start: the loss to No. 1 Florida in Tampa, the wins over Wagner and North Florida, and why the threes haven't fallen yet (plus the kind of threes he wants this team taking). We also get into what this team does best, Acaden Lewis running the show at point guard, Malik Reneau finding his rhythm, Caleb Gaskins' freshman start, Dante Allen's spark off the bench, and the depth behind Somto Cyril. Plus the stretch ahead: North Alabama, Rider, Manhattan, the Players Era 16 in Las Vegas, and Alabama in the SEC/ACC Challenge.

Finish The Story. For 20 years, November is where Miami's seasons went to die. 7-0 in 2013. 10-0 in 2017. 9-0 in 2024. All undone before December. Mario Cristobal's first three Novembers went 4-8. Then last year, Miami lost in overtime at SMU, won its next four games 151-41 and played for the national championship at Hard Rock. Now Miami is 8-1, with the program's first-ever No. 1 College Football Playoff ranking. It lost one game, on the road, without Malachi Toney, to a top-five Notre Dame team. Before Duke comes to Hard Rock on Saturday, here's some perspective. Duke. Virginia Tech. Boston College. All at home. Then Charlotte on Dec. 5, the last ACC Championship Game ever played. Miami has never won one. The story isn't finished. This is the month to finish it. A Canes Pulse essay, narrated by Peter Ariz.

Before Manny Diaz coached a single game at Miami, he and his entire staff pulled up to a booster party on a yacht. Bleacher Report put the price of that boat at $7 million. Saturday, he walks back into Hard Rock Stadium with Duke at 7-2. So let's talk about what he walked out of. It started with "The New Miami": a hashtag, a pro-wrestling style welcome, "Portal U," and the yacht. Then came the receipts. Eight commits in the 2022 recruiting class. One player picked in the 2022 NFL Draft. 778 yards allowed to North Carolina, the most in Miami history. A loss to FIU as a 20-point favorite and a 14-0 shutout by Louisiana Tech. But this is the fair version. Diaz went 16-9 in the ACC. ESPN reported Miami would have kept him if Cristobal said no. Kirk Herbstreit called out the whole administration on College GameDay, and the football staff budget doubled the day Diaz left. So whose mess was it? I go through all of it, then the ugly first year of the cleanup, how Mario Cristobal flipped the roster, and what it all means when Duke shows up Saturday.

Former Miami running back and Southwest Miami High offensive coordinator Robert Burns is back on Canes Pulse after Miami's 31-24 loss at Notre Dame, and this week is personal: he played for Duke head coach Manny Diaz. We start in South Bend: the 24-3 hole, the goal-line stand at the 1, and what Robert saw in the trenches (a bubble in the B gap, run fits from too deep, and defenses getting home with four rushers). Then we get to Duke. Robert breaks down Diaz's defense from his days as Miami's DC, from chaotic third-down blitzes to the turnover chain, and how it looks in Durham now with 26 sacks. Then we scout Nate Sheppard, who leads the nation with 21 total touchdowns, plus Walker Eget and Duke's misdirection-heavy offense. We also talk about how Miami feeds Cooper Barkate and Elija Lofton without Malachi Toney, why it should lean on the run game, and how Robert uses Gamr with his quarterback at Southwest.

Miami's contract with Nike was never supposed to be public. Miami is a private school, and the deal has a non-disclosure clause. It leaked anyway. John Canzano obtained the term sheet, and in this video I go through everything that's been published, line by line: The real number: 10 years, $198.5 million guaranteed, with $130 million on the cash side and $68.5 million in product. The clause: Canzano reports the contract guarantees Miami's deal stays the best in the ACC and the most lucrative in Florida for ten years. If Florida State gets more, Nike has to raise Miami's. The cash: how the $80 million in base pay can be delivered, and what Blue Ribbon Elite has to do with it. The fine print: a $16 million advance, $15 million Nike has to spend or pay, and a 15% royalty with a $2.5 million yearly floor. Why Nike did it: the stock, the S&P 100, losing Penn State, Tennessee and Ole Miss, and why people in the industry say Nike had to overpay. The ripple effect: why Ohio State, Alabama, Texas, LSU, Florida State and Georgia all want the same terms. The bonus sheet: $3 million for a national title, why the bonuses don't stack, the two bonuses that were out of date ten weeks after signing, and the typo. The perks: signature footwear, NikeSKIMS, Nike facilities, internships, and The Opening coming to Coral Gables. Sources: the Miami–Nike term sheet as published by John Canzano (Bald Faced Truth), the Miami Herald, On3, ESPN, Eleven Warriors, Sportico, Yahoo Sports, Front Office Sports and Nike's own announcement. Canzano discloses that his shows are sponsored by Adidas. What's the wildest detail in this contract?

Miami has the No. 1 recruiting class in America, and there are 22 days until signing day. As of Nov. 10, the Rivals Industry Ranking has Miami's 2027 class at No. 1 in the country, ahead of Texas A&M by 0.038 points. Mario Cristobal has never signed the No. 1 class. Miami hasn't had one since Randy Shannon's 2008 group. This is the story of how this class came together, and what could still happen before Dec. 2. In this film: ▪ How close the race for No. 1 is, and how Mark Matthews' weekend changed it ▪ Every Cristobal class ranked, and why this one is different ▪ 2008 vs. 2027: the last time Miami was No. 1, on the same scale ▪ The ones that got away: Amari Cooper, Dalvin Cook, Calvin Ridley, Jerry Jeudy, Jeremiah Smith ▪ The ones who stayed: Nick Lennear, A'mir Sears and Brysen Wright ▪ Two of the top four receivers in the country in one class ▪ Israel Abrams, the highest-ranked high school quarterback of the Cristobal era ▪ The flips: Donte Wright from Georgia, Jaiden Bryant from LSU, Ai'King Hall from Oregon ▪ All 21 commits ▪ The last 22 days: AJ Randle, DJ Jacobs and Quinton Cypher ▪ Where the class is thin, and what I think Miami does in the portal Rankings are from the Rivals Industry Ranking as of Nov. 10, 2026, unless noted. The 2008 comparison uses the 247Sports Composite. Is this the best class Miami has ever put together? Tell me in the comments. Narrated by Peter Ariz.

Back in Week 1, I went through every player who transferred out of Miami. All 19. Ten weeks later, here's where every one of them stands, and whether Miami made the right call letting them go. In this video: ▪ Donta Simpson had 0 sacks at Miami. At Missouri he has PFF's 2nd-best pass-rush grade among interior defensive linemen (2nd of 1,105) ▪ Popo Aguirre leads NC State with 85 tackles, 45 more than anyone else on the roster ▪ Ray Ray Joseph is East Carolina's leading receiver, and Emory Williams went from backup to starting QB ▪ JoJo Trader and Chance Robinson at NC State ▪ The corner question: would Charles Brantley help Miami's banged-up secondary? ▪ Tommy Kinsler's PFF numbers at Ole Miss pull in two directions ▪ The verdict: of the 19, who would actually be helping this Miami team right now?

Did Miami miss on Damon Wilson II? The portal's top defensive player had zero tackles at Notre Dame, and four of his first eight games without a single pressure. But nine games into 2025, Rueben Bain had three sacks. Wilson had three and a half. I go through the whole story: Venice High, the Georgia lawsuit, the Missouri breakout and why he picked Miami. Then every game of 2026, my theory on why it isn't clicking (the weight, and a different job than he had at Missouri), the real Bain and Mesidor comparison, and my verdict.

No. 1 Miami just lost Malachi Toney, and Vegas has the Canes as 7.5-point underdogs at Notre Dame. So why am I MORE excited for Saturday night than I was before the injury? Toney got hurt in Wednesday's practice. He's having surgery on a high ankle sprain and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season, with hope of a return for the playoff. It's a brutal blow. But this is the kind of game Mario Cristobal has built this program to win. A No. 1 team as a road underdog is a rare spot to be in, and it's a chance for this roster to prove Miami isn't a one-man operation. In this video: 🏈 Why losing Toney could refocus this team instead of breaking it 🎯 Darian Mensah's moment: the Heisman race and his draft stock both on the line in South Bend 🛡️ Corey Hetherman's defense: the tackling and secondary questions, and why Notre Dame's weapons don't scare me like UNC's and Pitt's did 📢 Who steps up at receiver: Cooper Barkate and the rest of the room 🏃 Mark Fletcher: remind people who you are 🚩 Discipline: three penalties for 30 yards at UNC. Miami needs that again 🗣️ "Leave no doubt"? Miami should flip Notre Dame's slogan and own it My final score prediction is in the video.
