    2024-2025 schedule

    I think that’s EXACTLY right… just add in a few injuries as accelerant and you get a team with a lot of talent that finishes with a losing record.

    2024-2025 schedule

    It’s crazy that we won the baha mar tournament (with a solidly decent field) last year and went on to finish with a losing record

    Omier enters name in NBA draft

    True, but Omier had a higher TOV% last year than every big I looked up (Bacot, ****inson, Edwards, Filipowski, Ballo, Ware). He’s also 6’5.5”. He’s a terrific player and someone who helped change the program for the better… but that’s not the relevant question. The question is whether you give...

    Omier enters name in NBA draft

    Norchad is a fantastic person and player… but he is not a guy who can carry a team. He was very turnover prone when trying to get a bucket on his own.

    I can confirm Miami is working hard on transfers right now..

    You’re missing it. They can pay but they’re not gonna overpay for one position because they want a roster of elite guys not just throw the whole bank at 2 or 3 players.

    Poplar in Portal

    Poplar was NOT a cancer. I dont actually know the exact situation, but Poplar is a good kid who L really liked as a person. But last year was a really tough year… on a bunch of levels. It wasn’t good for Wooga and it wasn’t good for L. Also, I think this year the money is being used to try...

    Omier enters name in NBA draft

    Is Omier worth 1mm? No doubt he’s an amazing player and has been an amazing Hurricane, but we can’t spend so much NIL on one really good player that we can’t afford to fill out the team with elite players. When there’s only a limited amount of NIL to go around, you can’t overpay one player…...

    I can confirm Miami is working hard on transfers right now..

    There are complexities involved. Omier LOVES Miami and LOVES Coach L and would love to come back but obviously the nba is his dream and even if he isn’t a lock to be drafted his market value is strong internationally and he doesn’t want to leave money on the table… and although we are doing...

    I can confirm Miami is working hard on transfers right now..

    Moved on in the sense of building next year’s roster based upon who has committed to be here and not assuming that someone who hasn’t committed will return. I’d be somewhat surprised if Wooga portaled… Jim was his biggest fan and supporter (remember Wooga was not in the universe of NBA prospects...

    Omier enters name in NBA draft

    If he’s fully healthy I could easily see a team try to stash him in the G league just based upon his athleticism and shooting (39% from three this year).

    Omier enters name in NBA draft

    I think his desire is to declare and become a pro. Portaling is always possible as long as he has eligibility, but I don’t think that’s the current plan.

    Who stays. Who goes

    Can’t we all just get along? It’s not like he’s @Da_Lucky_One Anyway… @Gables Canes just consider Wooga gone and Cleveland not gone. And hope everyone gives what they can to the Canes Connection.

    Yeah Omier is gone gone. Along w/ George and almost certainly Wooga too.

    Who stays. Who goes

    Coaching is so tough. Stubbornness is both an essential ingredient to success and a quick path to failure. I think you’re right… but L obviously wasn’t willing to throw those bones. Also, Nwoko had a little bit of a soft side (and I don’t mean soft as in kind or compassionate) to him. Having...

    Who stays. Who goes

    One of the pillars of L’s coaching philosophy is that playing time is earned. Nwoko got the minutes he got because he wasn’t doing the things the staff wanted/needed him to do to get more minutes. He has a lot of potential but if he didn’t recognize his own deficiencies and understand why he...

    Fun stat: Since 2012 Cal has taken Kentucky to the Sweet Sixteen 5 times and Coach L has taken Miami to the Sweet Sixteen 4 times.
