Staff thinks they have a good shot at getting either Wong or McGusty back in the fold, maybe both. Both guys would like to come back if they don't get a positive report from the NBA, but they also want to see improvements to the roster. Neither one of them wants to go thru another season like 20-21.

LOL!!! Unfortunately, this staff's continuous incompetence and annual recruiting failures in state say different, but by all means please feel free to continue to believe what'd you like. As a Canes fan, I hope I'm wrong and that L and staff can turn it around. However, based off the past 3...

In speaking to some HS and grassroots coaches here in Florida, it seems that it's pretty common knowledge at this point that our current staff is just stealing money, and some of them are also saying what many on this message board have been saying in that Larranaga is senile. :youre-nuts:

Great point. There's been a lot of talk in recent weeks about what happens to the kids in the transfer portal who won't be able to find a new landing spot. Things are about to get real interesting in a few months. Between the portal and the 2021 and 2022 class, it's going to be an over...

Contrary to popular belief we did start last season with 13 scholarship players on the roster if you include the 2 players (Miller & Waardenberg) who were injured in the preseason. What's the quote? "Experience is the best teacher." After the season our team just went through, I doubt Larranaga...

There should be at least a 2-3 more additions before the summer ends -- a big and a wing.

As I said on Monday night (post #449), Earl Timberlake was a top prospect coming out of HS. I think both ESPN and Rivals had him in their top 40. No matter how he fared here he's still a big time prospect. Just about every school in America looking to add pieces to their team should be calling...

As expected, the NCAA is granting all college athletes the ability to immediately transfer schools without penalty, but are still working out some of the kinks. Also, work has continued on the NIL bill, which will allow student-athletes to earn money off their name, image and likeness.

A lot of the guys are taking a wait and see approach. I expect transfer announcements to really pick up after next week, once the NCAA's council meets on the 15th. It's expected that they'll announce the new NIL rule and the new changes to the portal. I expect this to play a major role for a lot...

They both submitted their paperwork to the NBA and are still waiting on a response from the advisory committee.

I can't imagine Timberlake not having his pick of the litter. He must be playing it close to the vest and allowing some things to play out before he makes any kind of announcement. Won't surprise me to see him follow Fisher to Penn St if it's a good fit for him. There's also been some talk of...

Norchad Omier graduated from Miami Prep in 2021 and is another guy who Miami didn't even bother recruiting, let alone offer. He signed with Arkansas St. This past season he earned Sunbelt Freshmen of the Year and 1st Team All-Sun Belt averaging a double-double (13ppg & 12 rebs.). Was also named...

Here are a few more guys who were born and raised right here in South Florida. Scottie Barnes first 3 years of HS in Broward and transferred to Montverde for senior year (fsu) Dudley Blackwell graduated from Somerset Charter (Iowa St.) Tony Sanders graduated from Gulliver Prep (Notre Dame)...

Adam Fisher was the lead recruiter for Timberlake. It's the only reason he got the assistant coach job at Miami.

Looks like the HC Jason Shay at ETSU is getting fired over the team taking a knee earlier in the year. There was a lot of pushback from boosters and state politicians over players taking the knee. I expect a few of their players to bolt, including South Florida native Damari Monsato. Our...

No one of note. Seems like we're just getting jerked around. I'd be shocked if we land any of the highly coveted players in the portal. Unlike our AD and coach, these players can see the writing on the wall.

No prospect coming out of high school is a finished product and by no means was I inferring that Dewan was one. When Dewan got to Miami he was a 6'10"+ athletic big oozing with potential. He dominated in high school, on the travel ball circuit and at the national camps. We'll never know for...

If you're a top 20 player nationally coming out of high school, then chances are you're an NBA prospect. Don't get it twisted, coming out of Norland there was a lot of talk of him being a 1 and done. I think it's pretty evident that Dewan chose the wrong school. Miami does a good job of...
