This has been my biggest beef with this staff over the years. There are 3 home grown prospects (#4 Mitchell, #22 Reneau and #23 Udeh) from the state of Florida finish in ESPN's Top 25 national rankings and a few others in the top 100. Aside from Malik we didn't start recruiting any of them until...

I agree with you. I think the national recruiting pundits may have over valued Dewan as a prospect coming out of HS. Hindsight being 20-20 I don't think many of these same national scouts would label him a 5-star if they were to do it over again. In fairness to them though, it did seem that any...

Dewan had the WOW factor. And as much as I loved Dewan, this kid has the IT factor. You don't know what IT is, but he has IT. All joking aside Dewan had all the physical tools coming out of HS. He had good size, was athletic and ran the floor like a gazelle. Dewan was highly rated off of his...

I hear an announcement is imminent. I don't expect this thing to drag out much longer. I heard a couple of weeks ago it looked like it would be coming down to Indiana and Miami. DIdn't sound like there was too much interest to follow Mike White to Georgia. Apparently, the Noles have also backed...

He played 3 years at George Mason before transferring to Miami. I think he’s a RS-Jr. He should be back for another year. I doubt he’s a sophomore though

We've got 1 spot open plus the 4 players (Rodney, Charlie, Sam & McGusty) who will see their eligibility expire after the season, so that gives us 5 spots to fill for next season. We signed 4 guys to the 2022 class in November. If Gak, Jordan and/or Wong leave that should open up a few more...

Saw Batchelor a few times last spring/summer. Played well when I saw him in Indiana. Solid prospect, but nothing to write home to momma about. Kid is originally from the DMV area, so I wouldn't be surprised if L has his guys kick the tires with him. Personally, for what he brings to the table...

Hope this isn't the excuse our staff is using for not going after either player prior to their senior years of HS. LOL!!! Seriously speaking though, Udeh liked Miami early on, but the staff couldn't sell him on developing him into an NBA center. And don't know how true this is (hard to imagine...

Unfortunately, this staff didn't start recruiting either one of them until after their junior years of high school. Probably could've had a shot with both guys had they gotten on them early.

Announcement and signing is expected today around 2:30pm

No surprise here. With his girlfriend also heading to Texas on a basketball scholarship, many thought it was only a matter of time before he also committed.

I wouldn't rely on programs like IMG and Montverde. Their players come from all over the country sometimes even from other countries and more times than not they're already packaged to go to another school. There's enough local in-state talent to pluck a couple of kids a year from within our...

Recruiting as we knew it, no longer exists. A lot of times college coaches are looking at high school signees as the last resort. The rationale seems to be why take a chance on a high school kid that will take time to develop when they can get a more mature and proven player from another...

Hate playing the WHAT IF game, but wish Miami had gotten on a lot of these 2022 FL kids a lot sooner, particularly with someone like Ernest Udeh. Wonder where we'd be with a kid like this had we not waited til after his junior year of HS to get on him. Seems like their changing their approach...

AJ Casey to Miami! Looks like a good get for the U.

It'd be a very pleasant surprise if the Casey kid were to end up in Miami. Tony Stubblefield (DePaul HC) is a killer on the recruiting trail and he stocked his staff with experienced coaches who have strong ties to the Chicago-land area. I just don't see how they let this kid leave the Chi. I...

Looks like Malik has chosen uf. Apparently fsu didn't make him a priority and he liked the idea of staying in state but not too close to home

Saw his team some in Indiana this past summer and he certainly stood out. I know he's made a jump in the rankings as well. This looks like a good get for the program in 2022.

I think it'd be a terrible mistake if Malik commits to uf. I just don't think he fits that style of play and I don't think that staff gives him the best shot to developing into an NBA player. I could be wrong but I think fsu is the better fit and that staff is on fire right now with churning out...
