Episode 451 of the Orange Bowl Boys is here — and the 'Canes might be about to make NFL Draft history. For the first time in recent memory, Miami is projected to have FOUR first-round picks: Ruben Bain, Francois Ekwoge, and possibly Keaon Thornton and CJ Scott. We break down what that means for the program, what it says about Mario Cristobal’s recruiting machine, and whether Reuben Bain’s trending news is actually going to affect his draft stock (spoiler: probably not).

We also dig into Carson Beck’s NFL ceiling — is he a stealth starter or a high-end backup? The coordinators signed extensions and this program just hit a level of stability that’s rare in college football. We name the most stable programs in the country and ask: who’s the most vrabel?

Plus: the Spring Game is this Saturday (no TV, but Abe’s got us), a 6’9” 370 lb JUCO mountain joins the offensive line room, Miami Baseball is collecting mid-season awards like Pokémon, and the basketball portal class is quietly looking good.
