00:00 Where does Miami stand with defensive tackle Simeon Barrow, who, and he's not
00:04 the only target, but I believe Barrow is the top remaining target for the Miami
00:08 Hurricanes in the transfer portal.
00:10 And folks, the hurricanes appear to be in a very good place right now with the
00:14 senior standout defensive tackle out of Michigan state on three sports has
00:20 produced an RPM prediction for Barrow to pick the Miami hurricanes.
00:25 That's the on three version of the crystal ball.
00:27 Uh, you guys know that whenever I'm looking at how Miami is trending with
00:31 recruits or transfer portal players, I don't only check sources on the Miami
00:36 side, I also like to see what folks who cover other teams are saying.
00:39 And in the case of Simeon Barrow, LSU has been Miami's top
00:43 competition the entire way.
00:45 He also visited Mizzou, but LSU, I believe was the real threat.
00:49 Uh, and an LSU insider on 24 seven sports has basically conceded that
00:55 he expects Miami to land Barrow.
00:57 Unless of course, LSU can do something to change that narrative.
01:01 And, you know, this is not our first rodeo for anybody who's followed
01:04 recruiting and anyone who's followed the transfer portal, you know, that
01:08 there can be trends that change.
01:09 There can be ebbs and flows, but the Miami hurricanes appear
01:12 to be in a really good spot.
01:13 And the timeline guys, doesn't seem like this is going to take very long.
01:20 Simeon Barrow told on three sports yesterday, Thursday, that he's ready
01:25 to make a decision and that today, as in Friday could be the day that he finalizes
01:31 that decision and makes that decision public.
01:34 So whether it's Miami, hopefully probably LSU or Mizzou, I don't
01:40 believe there's going to be time now for a dark horse to get into that race.
01:43 I know that at a certain time, there was maybe a little bit
01:45 of optimism from Florida state.
01:47 Uh, Texas was maybe considering getting into the race late, but he's not
01:51 going to visit either of those places.
01:53 He will be deciding between Miami, LSU and Mizzou, and that
01:56 could happen as soon as today.
01:58 Now we know Miami definitely has a need to solidify the defensive tackle position
02:03 and the defensive tackle rotation.
02:05 Barrow is a perfect candidate to do just that.
02:08 A super experienced player.
02:10 One more year of eligibility was arguably Michigan state's best defensive
02:14 player for the past two years.
02:16 A season ago, 36 tackles, three and a half sacks last year, graded
02:20 out very well against the run.
02:22 And also as a pass rusher, he created 28 quarterback pressures
02:26 from the interior last season.
02:28 In his career, Simeon Barrow has started 30 games out of the
02:33 34 games that he's played in.
02:34 So 30 starts, that's a nice track record.
02:37 He's recorded 110 career tackles, all with the Spartans, 18 and a half
02:41 tackles for loss, 10 and a half sacks.
02:43 He's blocked two field goals.
02:45 He's got a past breakup, he has forced two fumbles in his career.
