The news of today is somewhat the news of yesterday, as the Canes held their 11th spring practice and we had your video from the day's work. Plus after practice we caught up with coach Mario Cristobal and several players - LB Corey Flagg, Jr., DL Jordan Miller, WR Key’Shawn Smith and OL Jalen Rivers.

So How many current players hit the road? ... Posted by sabrose

I know Mario isnt fooling around and keeps looking for ways to upgrade the talent on this roster. Its pretty clear he is still going after some transfers and late signees especially on the Dline and possibly LB positions. We are just about at the 85 limit now which means its likely several guys will be asked to leave.

A couple of questions.1) Does the U admin have concern of the optics of asking guys to leave? 2) How many guys leave on their own knowing they won't likely be playing?3) Is the time to start this roster cleaning just after the spring game?

IMO I think up to 8 guys may not be here by fall. Welcome others take on this.
