MBB Inks Paul Djobet
Miami head men’s basketball coach Jim Larrañaga announced Friday the signing of Paul Djobet, a 6-foot-7 French guard who attends West Oaks Academy in Orlando, Fla.

Maybe simply having size just to have it isn't his preferred way to go about building a team. If there was a stretch 4 that would be a fit next to Omier for next year or Nwoko in the future I'm sure that player would be welcomed. A coach may stick with a 4 guards around one big lineup when it has produced an elite 8 and final four in back to back years. He signed Nwoko as his big and the 3 other guys he's brought in are wings or big guards. All 6'6" or taller.I hope that Paul Djobet is a great pick up, and he plays like a 5 *! BUT given our lack of height problems this year, WHY is Coach L not going after at least one big guy (like > 6ft. 10in., or even better a 7 footer)? Seems obvious to me.
Having size for the sake of it is stupid. L wants athletic size, he wants to have multiple guys provide length. Amazing how even after an elite 8 and FF run, fans still run around whining like the dude doesn’t know what he is doing. Let the guy cook.I hope that Paul Djobet is a great pick up, and he plays like a 5 *!

Nice.
Anyone seen him play or have any videos?
Coach L certainly has a type. Everyone playing the 2-4 must look like Jordan Miller!
Someone else posted this in the other recruiting thread. Kid can score the ball for sure, needs to get bigger.

I'm going to look past the fact that you used bold text and colors to try and prove your misinformed take and simply hone in on the fact that you clearly have zero clue what you're talking aboutI hope that Paul Djobet is a great pick up, and he plays like a 5 *!

For some reason whenever this is bought up many people get sour but I think its a fair question.. I just dont see why we are going to do the same thing with Omier where he has to play a style of defense scared to get fouls or where if he misses game like Duke in ACC tourney everyone just chops it up as automatic L because we have NOTHING else..I hope that Paul Djobet is a great pick up, and he plays like a 5 *!

We have no big depth and to me seems obvious also especially last couple tourney runs but hey I dont see why we cant keep our identity while also having more than one big on entire team with open roster spots..
Villanova won the NC in 2016-2017 with a small guard lineup but they had exceptional shooting and ball movement.The 2024 Miami Hurricanes won a national championship starting players exclusively between 6'5" and 6'7."
Any big willing to come off the bench for Miami is a JAG.For some reason whenever this is bought up many people get sour but I think its a fair question..
