DEPTH CHART
1. Angel Rodriguez, Jaquan Newton, Manu Locomte, Corn Elder
2. Sheldon Mccllelan, Deondre Burnett, James Palmer
3. Davon Reed, James Kelly, Sheldon Mccllelan, Omar Sherman
4. Ivan Cruz-Uceda, James Kelly, Omar Sherman
5. Tonye Jekiri, Omar Sherman
Here's some tidbits on a few of the incoming freshmen.
Headliner: Jaquan Newton (Rivals 100, 35th Nationally, ESPN100, 55th Nationally)
A tough combo guard who lives and dies by his ability to attack off the dribble. Likes to play physical and has a tremendous feel for changing speeds and using hesitations to put defenders on edge. A bit of a streak shooter and can struggle defensively with quick point guards. Doesn't back down from a big moment.
Most Under Appreciated: James Palmer ( Rivals 150, 114th Nationally, Offers: Cinci, Memphis, VCU, RU, Wake Forrest)
Currently ranked in the Rivals150, Palmer is going to push for a move from high three-star to four-star status. The shooting guard has continued to grow and now looks to be a legit 6-foot-4 with long arms. He scores via the jumper and looks to be a great fit for the Hurricanes.
Under Rated: Omar Sherman ( 3 star on Rivals, 4 star on ESPN and #12 player in the state of TX for 2014)
More of a below-the-rim player, Sherman is a crafty finisher around the hoop and he has a strong frame that should easily pack on muscle in a college weight room. Rivals.com National Basketball Analyst Eric Bossi says of Sherman that as a "6-foot-8 guy (he) is more of a skilled faceup guy and likes to shoot jump shots. Legit range to the three point line. Rebounds ok but is more of an under the rim scorer around the rim. Will be very strong once he hits a college weight room."
Wildcard: Ivan Cruz-Uceda
PF/C Cruz Uceda stands at 6'10 230 and like many European imports, he plays both inside and outside and loves to shoot the three ball. Cruz Uceda wasn't recruited out of his native Spain so he came to the United States and has been playing his college ball in Harcum College, a JUCO in Pennsylvania. He averaged 16 points a game and almost 11 rebounds during his freshman season.
Uceda was being recruited by Iowa State, Penn State and others, but he decided to commit to the University of Miami in the middle of his visit. He [Uceda] also makes it the fourth commitment of this recruiting cycle for Coach Larranaga and his staff, joiningJa'Quan Newton, James Palmer and newly committed Omar Sherman.
Also, NCAA basketball scholarships cap at 13. That means at this point we have 11 which will mean no more additions considering we start losing 2 scholly's per year next year. That's huge IMO because coach L could've went and found us 2 more bigs.
