He doesn’t expect to play a many minutes as UM. As his dad said to me yesterday, “With the way Miami scores, Jalen could score 20 points in 20 minutes”. His dad was a McDonald’s High school All American, played at Kentucky in the early 80’s with Sam Bowie, Kenny Walker, Rex Chapman, etc, and...

We discussed it but it he end he wants to play another year of college ball. He graduated in 3 years so though next year will be a grad year, it is still only his 4th season of college ball. And the feedback he has received is that he needs to play at least 5-10 minutes a game at the Point...

I appreciate this. I don’t think we ever discussed that you know James from his IU days but I will pass on your comment to James. Unfortunately injuries have robbed James of a once promising basketball life. 2 years ago while playing in Turkey he suffered his 3rd ACL. I will update the Board...

My nephew Jalen Blackmon will be at UM next weekend for an OV. He played at Stetson last season and scored 20/game. Great 3 level scorer. This would be a 1 year grad transfer

I know this is a sore subject on the football side, but maybe winning helps recruiting???

IMO, this is as good a recruiting class as I can remember at UM.

On the first dunk he almost has his entire arm in the rim. Up to his elbow Like a Vince Carter dunk. This kid is legit. Yes his jump shot needs some work, like 99% of high school players. But his athleticism at 6’4” is amazing. I hope we have a lot of success his freshman season because he...

I love that one his reasons is that UM has one of the best coaching staffs.

It feels like Coach L is the first coach we have had who truly develops players since….Coach Ham? is that possible considering all the years in between?

I can tell if he has the correct form and balance as a shooter. I can’t tell you how much touch he has but the fundamentals are his feet, elbow, release point, follow through, etc. Those fundamentals look good to me. If the fundamentals are in place then typically all the player needs is...

Do yourselves a favor and go and watch this young man’s HUDL hIghlights. He scores at all 3 levels, his shot looks very comfortable and easy. And he is explosive off the ground. He also dunks with either hand. His ball handling needs to improve but that is easy to improve. He is already...

We could be flipping our roster after this season. Cleveland, Wooga, Omier and Pack are all hoping to leave after this season. I know it’s unlikely we lose all 4 but not impossible. Even if we lose 3 that will allow for a lot of points and shots to be available. I wonder of L is selling the...

Someone help me make sense of how well we are recruiting. I know we have a top 5 coach and have had 2 consecutive NCAA runs, and we have a competitive NIL program. Does that equate to (2) 4 stars and potentially a 5 star in the same class? The lowest ranked of the (3) is the number 100 player...

If he is not committing to UM after that interview then he is trolling us as well as we have ever been trolled in the history of trolls. I know nothing is over until it is over but we are clearly financially solvent. This young man will have NIL worth 500k at a minimum. Don’t forget that KU...

Whether they all come or not, UM basketball is certainly in the conversation with a LOT of big time recruits. We are being mentioned in the same breath as KU, UK and all the “blue blood” programs. Wow. Folks, we have been good before but this feels different. Maybe I am just a victim of the...

Manny of them are/were part of the same AAU program as noted in a recent article about Bethea. And our asst coach DJ Irving was part of that program. We definitely have an “in”with that program.

Looks like we have a very good connect with that AAU program. Nice work Mr. Irving.

Whoa. Let’s get the official confirmation but this along with Schwarz is unbelievable.

Yes he is.

Correct. Its not always about how well you recruit a player. Kids and their families are not stupid about rosters.
