What does it all mean? When he gets here, how long does it take for him to get on the floor?

I consider this every day of my life.

This is a really strong get. Classic Northeast Point Guard who will see the floor early. Villanova really wanted him and that's good enough for me. The one and done's are talented, but give me a solid, top 100 kid who can be developed for 3-4 years and you'll win a lot of games that way.

Great news for sure

You could've said the same for JaQuan Newton four years ago. Hope Wong can shoot better than Newton ever could.

Same.

Huge get, hopefully this creates a snowball of commits.

 

[tcgrad1014]

This is exactly the caliber of player L should be focusing on.

I see more of a poor mans Bruce Brown with a slightly better mid range game. Not as physical but really fluid.

Things hit Miami hard in the wake of the FBI scandal. Though directly never named, it was easy to see that Miami was one of the schools the FBI was looking at, as it related to Nassir Little's recruitment. This led to a major stop in the 2018 recruiting class for the Hurricanes. In fact the Hurricanes really weren't even allowed to recruit for a little while. The news cost them the commitment of four-star forward Saddiq Bey, who ultimately ended up at Villanova, and also stopped what was looking like a potentially very good class.


Now things have picked back up for Miami. Because they didn't have a 2018 recruiting class, Miami filled voids with transfers. Zach Johnson from FGCU, Anthony Mack from Wyoming, and Kameron McGusty from Oklahoma all came into the program.


Now in 2019, Miami is back going again. They just landed the commitment of four-star combo guard Isaiah Wong, and continue to be associated with other top prospects in the class. While this scandal has hurt Miami more than most, the Hurricanes appear to be back.

Where do things stand with the teams impacted by the FBI scandal

CaneSport.com - Hoops lands major commit: "It felt like it was the place for me"

Does anyone have access to this article? It states Miami has been recruiting Isaiah Wong, CJ Walker and Vernon Carey Jr for the past three years. I think all three will sign with Miami.

If Vernon Carey Jr signs (and maybe Isaiah Wong commit will be a big plus) with Canes it would be huuuuUUUUuuuge… sure hope u are right not wong!

Not much of an update. But, like I said before, it's good that our recruiting isn't dead in the water like it was last year. We're in the game for some nicely rated players. Gonna need an infusion of youth/talent this year in a big way.

Wong's commitment video. Love the part at the end with Coach L

So, I've seen the highlights, read the stuff, etc. Is this a kid that will be ready to play as a true freshman?
