Mizzou Football Offers Miami Transfer Elias Rudolph; The Buzz, Sunday, April 20, 2025
The Missouri Tigers made an offer to former Miami edge rusher Elias Rudolph, who officially entered the transfer portal Friday. Rudolph posted the offer to his account on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Rudolph does have a connection to the Missouri coaching staff, with Derek Nicholson becoming Missouri’s linebacker coach in January after spending last season as Miami’s co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.
Rudolph was rated as a four-star prospect out of high school, and rated by 247Sports as the 26th best edge rusher in the class of 2024.
He appeared in three games in his true freshman season with Miami. Rudolph hasn’t publicly shared any other schools to offer him through the transfer portal, but his commitment out of high school came down to Miami, Pitt and Michigan.
Missouri has a deep edge group, but has lost two depth pieces through the spring window of the transfer portal thus far, with both Eddie Kelly Jr. and Jahkai Lang departing the program.

Jeff Hafley suggests Miami Dolphins entertain Malik Willis Tush Push
Jeff Hafley: Miami Dolphins players, coaches must lead in 2026 season
Miami Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley speaks to the media on May 27, 2026, during team OTAs.
MIAMI GARDENS ― The Miami Dolphins held a third and final mandatory minicamp practice on Thursday, June 4, at the Baptist Health Training Complex.
The Dolphins plan a practice open to media next Tuesday, June 9 and soon after the entire NFL will shut down for summer break for about five to six weeks.
Get ready to enjoy the World Cup.
Here is some of what we saw at mandatory minicamp practice three:
*Coach Jeff Hafley said offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer and wide receiver Caleb Douglas escaped serious injury at a recent practice.
*Hafley said he believes in the value of immediate correction on the field. Some coaches want to just keep moving practice along and wait for film review.
*Hafley suggested Dolphins might need to look into value of Tush Push and Malik Willis.
^Malik Willis completed passes underneath to Greg Dulcich and Malik Washington, a consistent theme.
*Ben Sims could not complete the catch on a pass from Quinn Ewers into the end zone.
*Cam Miller overthrew a potential touchdown near a front pylon of an end zone.
*Malik Willis ripped the throw on a touchdown over the middle to Theo Wease.
*Kevin Coleman looked slippery after a short completion from Quinn Ewers.
*Terrace Marshall skied high to catch a touchdown from Quinn Ewers.
*Miami focused heavily on red zone work and the offense performed quite well.
*Safety Louis Moore had a pass breakup in the red zone.

Patients left scrambling for care after Miami-Dade woman accused of operating an unlicensed surgery recovery center
A 38-year-old woman is behind bars after authorities say she operated an unlicensed plastic surgery recovery center out of an Airbnb in southwest Miami-Dade County, leaving several patients scrambling for care after her arrest.
Kerri Smith faces charges of operating an assisted living facility without a license and an organized scheme to defraud. Investigators say she collected more than $200,000 from clients seeking post-surgical care. Her arrest disrupted the recoveries of at least six women who were staying at the home after undergoing cosmetic procedures.
“I’m really disappointed. Extremely disappointed,” said Janell Dunn, one of the patients who traveled from Orlando for surgery and aftercare.
Dunn said that during her five-day stay, she saw about 12 women cycle through the property. She described chaos unfolding when deputies arrived to arrest a caretaker. “We were all looking at each other like, ‘What are we going to do now?’” Dunn said.
Authorities allege the operation was unsafe and poorly managed. In court, a prosecutor cited complaints of overcrowding, bug infestations, rodents, and improper handling of medical waste.
Despite those allegations, Smith told a judge she had been working to bring the business into compliance, stating, “I got educated. Hired a consultant.”
Patients, however, say they were left with little warning to find new accommodations after paying thousands of dollars for post-operative care. Dunn said she struggled physically in the aftermath, forced to move and lift items despite being in the early stages of recovery.
“I’ve been pushing, pulling, tugging, doing things I shouldn’t be doing at this point,” she said.
Some women booked hotel rooms after being forced out. Tonita Caban, a woman with experience caring for post-surgery patients, took in Dunn. Caban said she couldn’t turn Dunn away after hearing her story through a social media group for post-op patients. She calls Dunn an “angel”.
“And you’re here with me, and you’ll always be my little sister,” Caban told her. “Someone you can count on.” Caban said she is not charging Dunn for her stay, acknowledging the money she already lost to Smith’s now-shuttered operation.
Smith remained in custody at TGK on Wednesday evening.

This new Italian restaurant in Brickell only has 10 items on the menu
In a city where menus can read like novellas and cocktails arrive with enough smoke, sparks and theatrics to qualify as performance art, a new Brickell restaurant is taking the opposite approach and betting that fewer choices might actually make dinner better.
At Allegro Ma Non Troppo, a new 38-seat Italian restaurant that recently opened at 1000 South Miami Avenue, you’ll find exactly 10 food items on the menu. Not 10 sections. Not 10 pages. Just 10 dishes, period.
The concept comes from a group of longtime restaurant industry colleagues who wanted to create something that feels more like an Italian grandmother’s dining room than a typical Miami restaurant. There are no reservations, no phone number and no sprawling menu. Instead, guests simply show up, grab a table and eat what the kitchen does best.
The menu follows a simple formula: four appetizers, three mains, two sides and one dessert. Among the highlights are a Caesar salad made using Caesar Cardini’s original 1924 dressing recipe from Tijuana, a Wagyu bolognese “lazy lasagna” layered with Italian sausage and slow-cooked ragù, a free-range chicken cotoletta alla Milanese and a whole branzino prepared with little more than olive oil, lemon and rosemary. And then, of course, there’s the shareable dessert course. Every main course is cooked in the restaurant’s single oven and there are no fryers anywhere in sight.
What makes Allegro Ma Non Troppo particularly personal is the story behind it. The restaurant serves as a tribute to co-owner Carlos Galan’s mother, who died earlier this year at age 102. Many of her belongings now decorate the space, helping the restaurant feel more like a family home than a polished dining concept.
“The goal was never to create a perfect luxury restaurant,” Galan said. “It was to create a place where people feel genuinely welcomed, nourished, and emotionally connected the moment they walk through the door.”
Co-owner Vanessa Velez says the team hopes diners remember more than just what was on their plates. “We always want to touch the customer emotionally, because when you touch someone’s emotions, you leave a mark,” she said. “Our goal is to leave a lasting imprint on our guests’ hearts.”
Whether the 10-item menu becomes Miami’s next dining obsession remains to be seen. But in a neighborhood packed with restaurants competing to do more, Allegro Ma Non Troppo is making a compelling case for doing less.
