Miami has landed a commitment from the second-highest ranked recruit in its history. Five-star power forward Caleb Gaskins announced his decision to join Jai Lucas and the UM basketball team on Thursday.

Gaskins chose the Hurricanes over a final three of Texas A&M and Florida, he also chose the Hurricanes over offers from 15 other schools.

The 6-foot-8 forward from Christopher Columbus High in Miami is ranked No. 12 nationally in the Class of 2026, No. 3 among power forwards, and the No. 1 player in Florida, according to 247Sports.

Gaskins starts off the Hurricanes in the 2026 class now ranked as the No. 42 team in the nation for the 2026 class.

Miami assistant coach Andrew Moran has played a key role in Gaskins’ recruitment. Moran coached him last season at Christopher Columbus, where the team captured a national title, and also worked with him on the Nightrydas Elite AAU squad, which went on to win the Peach Jam this past summer.

On the EYBL Circuit a couple of months ago, Gaskins was nothing short of dominant, averaging 18.3 points and 8.1 rebounds per game.

Hey Trinton. Do we have any real traction with any other recruits? Most of the top tier recruits remaining appear to be long shots. Thanks

I think football will always get way more attention on this site regardless. Speaking for myself, I really don't get excited for bball until the actual season starts.

Understandable. HS basketball is bigger than football the further north you go.

This board was rolling a couple years ago. But overall I agree, still surprising these threads have little action though. This is a huge commit

I love what Jai is doing. Hopefully he can coach as well as he can recruit.

Great pickup and fits the scope of what the team is trying to do. Excited for this year and going forward. Development and execution. Going to have to put Canes Connection on direct deposit.

So in 2 years we're going to be back to where we were recently. Basketball better than football.

Saw Caleb Gaskins over the weekend. He was working out with his brother at a local gym. Kid has gotten so much bigger since I last saw him over the summer. Bulked up and added muscle. Physically, looks ready for the ACC. He's gotten a lot better offensively, but needs to continue improving his perimeter game. With Jax gone from Columbus, I expect a big jump in numbers (20+ ppg & double digit rebs) from Gaskins this high school season.
