2024 Recruiting

[JZCane0825]

Appears to be a late riser but Baylor was on him hard and had an A&M/SMU's offer as well as some decent mid-majors (George Mason, Western Kentucky).

 

[Miami04]

Late grab by Coach L. Supposedly beat out Baylor. Plays in our district at a school not usually know for sports. Hakeem Olajuwon’s kids play on same team and recruited a bunch of kids there.

Seems like an ok pickup. But honestly feels like a kids who won’t get starter minutes next year and get mad and transfer. Because that’s the new college ball way.

I think he’s going to play a lot in ‘25 given all we lose

Impossible to say. We can just bring in transfers again next season, plus hopefully we have another big HS class

Yes but you also need some developmental guys in the pipeline

 

[HurikaneMarc]

We need bodies I suppose. But it seems like we could find a player who averages 6ppg right here in Miami.

Probably doesn't matter.

You have Pack, Blackmon, Bethea and Djobet. This is a guy you want to develop and get ready for 25.

I agree.

I was just responding to your claim that he would play a lot in 2025. It's possible, but seems unlikely. I think it's just as likely that he transfers out than that he is a key piece in 2025.

These developmental guys are lottery tickets. The guy you expect to play in 2025 probably aren't even on the roster, with a few exceptions.

You are hoping he is a guy like Djobet.

 

[JZCane0825]

Djobet isn’t a guard

Like who? The local pool of prospects was awful this year

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Djobet isn’t a guard

Yes I realize he is more of a 3 at 6'5" in our system but he could be playing some 2 as well this fall.

I’d rather have him at the 3 given his lack of scoring prowess

Haven't checked but I'm positive somebody has better numbers than these. Maybe Coach L already checked on them and they refused but I'm not sure why we have to go Texas to get a guy who averages 6ppg.

Where are you getting 6ppg. He was 17.6 and 6 assists.

Have you seen him live?

I think we stole one here.
