Since they missed with Vernon, they could always try again with Jaylen.
He might be too big for our small ball team though.

I don't know how you continue to play "small ball" of the bigs continue to develop.

This kid looks better than his ranking suggests.

They could and likely are. That said, L did everything he could for Vern and he chose Duke anyway. Some of these kids refuse to recognize Miami as a legit basketball program.

Doubtful L is even recruiting this kid. The early signing period begins tomorrow, Wednesday, November 9th, and lasts until November 16th, and we're expecting to sign 6-9 240lb Michael Nwoko.

I think the "small ball era" is over after this season. The roster is starting to look like the 2012-13 roster minus a few 22+ year olds.

5 out small ball was the ultimate fit the scheme to the players… definitely not how Coach L dreams up the game.

Will they recruit anymore high school players or do you seem them going the portal route to fill any remaining roster spots next season?

Portal seems most likely. IMO.
Not unless someone transfers unexpectedly and even with that, the portal seems the most logical route.
For those of us who have been on the site for the past decade, this much depth on the basketball team feels odd.
I still remember the 7 player teams trying to win games.
Yes, 7 players. Not a 7 man rotation.
