#164: Xavier Restrepo & Canes in the NFL Draft - There Was One Named Curious - Orange Bowl Boys: A Miami Hurricanes Podcast

Right out of the gate everyone jumps on the Miami baseball team for their “lackluster” performance as of late, especially after getting run-ruled by Florida State and a horrendous showing against Stetson. We also spin into MLB Opening Day before getting down to Greentree, which offroads into how long the MLB season should be, as 162 games is just too many. Everyone is also hyped to have Xavier Restrepo join the show as we look back at what he was able to accomplish as a Miami Hurricane, and we try to figure out where he'll get drafted.

We are also joined by Miami's all-time leading receiver, now headed into the NFL Draft, wide receiver Xavier Restrepo! We talk to X about how he looks at his accomplishments at Miami, how his legacy will live on in Coral Gables, and he talks about how dangerous it would be for him and Cam Ward to get drafted by the same team. X also has a lot of love for Cam and talks about how he thinks he and Cam will adjust to NFL systems after playing under Shannon Dawson's offense. And with a lot of wide receiver talent leaving Miami, X breaks down how the offense was built for guys to be able to replace the players going out.

Plus we ask him about who he'd like to score on in the NFL, his bucket list golf courses, and his best (and most meaningful) catches while playing at the U. He gets a little blind sided when Toast asks him if he ever got an NIL offer to leave Miami, and he talks about the story that's circulating about his “slow” 40 time at Miami Pro Day.

We also take a look at the ESPN SP+ rankings – which somehow have the Canes as the #1 offense in the country, but the defense at #49. That spins us into a conversation about the growth of the roster, what transfers and commits moved around this year, and a look at the rankings of all the Canes opponents this season.

The Wheel of Topics gets heated when Toast has to defend his boy Danny Hurley as the UConn head coach got caught on a hot mic complaining about the officiating after their loss to Florida in the NCAA Tournament. While Scoop has a great distaste for Hurley, Toast argues that Miami would fire Jai Clark in a heartbeat to have him coach the Canes. And everyone reflects on the life of George Foreman, talks about the mystery woman behind Rick Pitino who was offered a porn deal, and whether LeBron James is as big of a baby as Danny Hurley after his back-and-forth with Stephen A Smith.

And we round it out with another hilarious round of Five Questions, including who we would shapeshift into, the worst punishment we ever got from our parents, what celebrity sold their soul to the devil, how we would notify our loved ones if we were kidnapped, and the worst response to the question “do I look fat?”
