****ie Vitale, one of the biggest figures in the college basketball industry, told Twitter that the new head coach of the Miami Hurricanes, Jai Lucas, is going to do a fantastic job during his time with the Hurricanes.
Here is what Vitale had to say after the commitment from Shelton Henderson to Miami:
"Jai Lucas will do a fantastic job with CanesHoops - has great communication skills- really connects with players."
The excitement is growing for the Hurricanes as they have built some impressive talent from the transfer portal. This includes Tre Donaldson, a Sweet 16 point guard, and Tru Washington, a standout defensive player from the MWC. Additionally, they have brought in Ernest Udeh Jr., one of the top shot blockers from the Big 12, along with Malik Reneau.
Miami is making significant progress in the 2025 recruiting class, currently ranked in the top 20. They have added four-star shooting guard Dante Allen and five-star small forward Shelton Henderson. Lucas is hosting top-10 point guard Acaden Lewis for a visit to Miami this weekend that starts tomorrow.
Jai Lucas has also upgraded the coaching team by bringing in new faces like Andrew Moran, LJ Rose, Zack Zillner, Riley Welsh, Charlton Young, and Erik Pastrana.
Lucas has turned this program around from a 7-24 team last season to a potentially top-4 team in the ACC conference next year.
