The Transfer Portal’s second window is April 16-30, and Mario Cristobal‘s Miami Hurricanes are on the hunt for more talent. In the first portal window, of course, the team added QB Cam Ward, QB Reese Poffenbarger, C Zach Carpenter, DE Elijah Alston, DT CJ Clark, DT Marley Cook, DB Mishael Powell, S Savion Riley and walkon DB Isaiah Taylor.
CaneSport will continue to update the arrivals and departures of players as they occur with the next two weeks is expected to be very busy for a Miami team that ended the spring over the 85 limit including the 10 new freshmen set to report this summer (CB Romanas Frederique, DL Artavius Jones, RB Jordan Lyle, S Ryan Mack, OL Juan Minaya, DE Booker Pickett, WR Chance Robinson, DE Elias Rudolph, DL Daylen Russell and DT Justin Scott). From the end of spring roster five players, by our count (after the spring departures of Henry Parrish and Nyjalik Kelly), need to depart, and for each transfer added this second portal window another returner will also need to leave to stay at the required 85 limit.
We expect the following to be targeted:
1 RB (Oregon State’s Damien Martinez has emerged as one that’s likely)

1-2 WR
1-2 DL (USC transfer Romello Height has visited Miami and said he “loved” visit)
1 LB
1 CB (Marshall CB transfer D’yoni Hill says Miami is in consideration … why he might make sense for the Hurricanes)
1 Safety

So yeah, it’s going to be very busy through the end of the month.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting involving one of its deputies in southwest Miami-Dade.
Assistant Sheriff Fernand Charles Jr., speaking at a press conference, reported that at approximately 3:30 p.m., a call was received about a firearm threat at a park located at SW 216th Street and 113 Avenue.
When deputies responded, they found a group of four juveniles at SW 222nd Street and 112nd Avenue. According to Charles Jr., a confrontation ensued, and one of the deputies discharged his weapon, striking a 15-year-old boy.

The subject was grazed in the ankle, and he was transported by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue in stable condition, Charles Jr. said.
Charles Jr. added that police recovered a firearm with an extended clip near where the teen was struck.
The three other teenagers were taken into custody by police. It is unclear what charges they will face.
