    I know what you are thinking but you don't want to say it.

    I am glad someone got it. Good one.

    The sad part is we (all of the people commenting on this thread) know Miami has two available scholarships and there are over 200 kids in the transfer portal but Coach L has not mentioned and probably not attempted to add anyone else to the roster. Yet and still, he complains about depth...

    Yes and no. No if all 11 scholarship guys were healthy and available to play in Italy later this month and at the start of basketball season. Yes because after last season with only 7 scholarship players to have depth issues before the following season is sad especially when you have the...

    Last month, I posted a thread about Billy Donovan becoming the next head basketball coach at Miami. Granted, at that time, it was more of a fantasy than reality as multiple dominoes would have to fall for that to happen. A month later, Westbrook has been traded and OKC is definitely...

    I guess Coach L will figure it out in Italy that Brooks needs to get a waiver for this season because Rodney is currently the only 5 on the roster. Coach L will probably submit for the waiver after Rodney is in foul trouble for all 4 games in Italy. We are all hoping Gak is healthy but being...

    Great point. It is that time of year I guess.

    For the record, I agree with you. I am just confused on where Coach L is coming up with this stuff. That is a huge jump in production and huge does not properly define the jump.

    It absolutely makes no sense to me. In fairness, the decision to redshirt him was made prior to Dewan becoming ineligible but it is a valid point. Truthfully, Rodney should have taken his redshirt year as a freshman but Miami only had 8 or 9 scholarship players. Interesting enough, he still...

    That is the proper perspective. Tonye is way ahead of Rodney Miller as far as skill development so if Coach L thinks Rodney is going to outperform Tonye this season say a lot. It probably creates some unrealistic expectations for Rodney. Coach L states Rodney is starting when he has barely...

    Thank you for posting the numbers. I can always count on you for that. Coach L talks about Tonye like he averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds. No disrespect to Tonye, his growth and development was nice but that should not be the expectation.

    This will be his 9th year at Miami and he has raised expectations for the basketball team. Unfortunately, Coach L will not change with the times of Division 1 basketball. I would not bury him just yet, he is still a good coach but he is terrible at roster management.

    That is what Coach L said. I listened to it twice to be sure I was not hearing things incorrectly. The Brooks situation is interesting. Could it be that he has a significant knee injury that will keep him out this season and Coach L does not want to apply for the waiver and waste his last year...

    My thoughts from the Media availability: 1. Coach L states several donors helped contribute to make this trip possible. Interesting. 2. First look at freshman under game conditions with the newly installed offenses. 3. 12 players (11 scholarships and 1 walk-on (Walk-on Willie) with Stone...

    Miami Media Availability featuring Jim Larranaga, Chris Lykes and DJ Vasiljevic. Enjoy. The lead reporter is really not in touch with the team. DJ played FIBA in Italy last month and her first question is have you been to Italy? SMH.
