Summary
Dennis Smith reveals the tough reality behind Miami’s rebuild: when he joined Cristobal five years ago, the roster was shockingly thin—far worse than expected even compared to his time at Louisiana Tech. They had to lean heavily on transfers to compete while building from the ground up, all while battling pandemic disruptions and Miami’s brutal recruiting landscape. Despite the odds, Smith and Cristobal stuck to their plan—prioritizing high school talent and player development over flashy transfers—and the results are finally showing: a competitive, well-built team emerging as a blueprint for rebuilding programs in today’s NIL-driven college football world.
