Cardet is part of the Gillion clan. He's their nephew. Cardet initially signed with Samford while Gerald was an AC there. He played his freshman year there but once Gerald became the HC at Chi St., Cardet chose to follow him there. The Bewley's going to Chi St. is a head scratcher for me. Great...

Definitely looks like he traveled in a couple of the highlights. I'm sure staff will get that fixed by the time he gets on the floor with Miami. Good footwork, just a little happy feet. Don't think there's too much to worry about.

Any other era Djobet would be a high major prospect. Being where recruiting is today with covid, transfer portal, etc. Djobet like many other top prospects are left pretty much fending for themselves. It doesn't help matters that Djobet has been to 3 different high schools in the last 3 years...

This is a pleasant surprise. But I can see why Coach L would take Djobet. Very similar build and style to what Miami likes to sign. About 6'7" and athletic. Tough wing player who can score. When Paul is on he can put the ball in the hole with the best of 'em. Plays HS ball in a couple of the...

Not a bad kid. Parents are the problem. They don't know a lot, but they know just enough to f*ck $hi+ up.

The word on the street is that Marvel will likely end up at McNeese St. Not sure how accurate it is, but he's supposed to be following Will Wade there. Keep in mind that Marvel initially had committed to LSU while Wade was still there. After Wade got canned, Marvel decommitted and went with...

I'd be very surprised if Miami's staff is still looking at 2023 prospects. I'd think that ship has sailed. WIth how the recruiting landscape has changed, I think they're looking at the transfer portal and continuing to evaluate and recruit HS underclassmen.

From some of the talk, it seems Louisville is the early favorite. Mgbako's initial lead recruiter at Duke was Nolan Smith, who is now an asst coach at Louisvile.

Nwoko excels at the 3 things (rebounds, contests shots & runs the floor) Larranaga likes to see in big men. How that will translate to the college game will mostly be determined on how well Nwoko adjusts to the physicality at the next level. Hardest part for freshmen coming into college is that...

Matt Cross and Anthony Walker are the only two guys I think we've gotten from Brewster. Coach L and staff do recruit that school a ton

It's a lot easier to have a revolving door with your lineup when you're stacking it with future lottery picks and NBA pros. Blue bloods are bringing in multiple 5-star prospects on a yearly basis. Tough to compare that to what our staff has brought in over the years at Miami. For example, Duke...

Coach L has made it abundantly clear that he likes the transfer portal and would much rather have a more experienced transfer come in and help right away, rather than play the waiting or guessing game to see if a true freshmen can do the same. Personally, I don't see a problem with it except for...

Another project, but seems to have more upside than many of the other past projects we've had. Reminds me a lot of Tonye Jekiri coming out of HS, but with a little higher ceiling. Good size (6'9"ish) with a college ready frame. Encouraging to see he's dropped some weight since his junior year...

Had less to do with Mike White and more to do with Erik Pastrana. He did a great job of establishing the relationship with James and his inner circle. Winter Haven had no say in matters neither. It was all James' AAU team. Don't think Larranaga will ever get a kid from 1Family.

Another top recruit leaving the state for college.

Yes, he’s a 2024. Happy to hear Miami is on him but this staff has got to keep the pressure on. Him transferring out west isn’t doing us any favors. Allen is generating a lot of interest and he’s a hot name right now in the junior class. Hopefully, he’ll get homesick and realize he needs to be...

i agree with a lot of your last post, but just like the article this last post isn’t 100% true and factual. Dewan is a nice guy. One of the nicest star players I’ve had the opportunity to meet. He hasn’t changed much since his middle school days. Can’t tell you how happy I am that he’s been...

Funny story on Tonye, he was signed, sealed and ready to be delivered to another local program after HS. An assistant coach at FIU (of all places) brought him to Miami from Africa and stashed him for a few years, planning he'd go to FIU after graduation. They had him playing on a local AAU team...

Won't go into details here, but based on what I was told by multiple folks everything written in this article isn't necessarily true and I'll leave it at that. GO CANES!

Agreed, but goes back to what I always say and that is that it would be nice if we took fliers on 3/4-star big men (Collins, Raquan Gray, etc.) from South Florida or in-state for that matter, rather than 3 star big men projects (Gak, Izundu, Rodney Miller, etc.) from OOS. The last big man from...
