Jai Lucas set to become next men’s basketball coach

Andrew Moran is expected to be on the staff when Jai Lucas is named HC.

A target Miami and Andrew Moran could go after would be five-star forward Caleb Gaskins as Moran coached him in both AAU and High School.

Two AAU programs that you could see an influx of players to Miami from are Nightrydas Elite ( Miami ) as Moran coached for them. The other is JL3 Elite ( Houston ) as this is ran by Jai Lucas father, John Lucas.

The road blocks to getting players from those programs could be they are both Nike affiliated programs while Miami is adidas sponsored.

Any chance we can get Gaskins to reclassify?
 
I fully support Coach Jai Lucas and the direction he will take the basketball program when he officially becomes the head coach of Canes Hoops.
I support whoever he adds to his staff and I look forward to seeing the product he assembles in his first season in Coral Gables.

Terrible approach, if true. Access to players is why you hire assistant coaches. Head coaches have to be able to provide so much more than that. Again, hope the Lucas hire works, but could go down as worst hire in the history of Miami's athletic department.

What’s amazing is this and JD back2back… and I’m pretty sure neither were Rad’s decision. Crazy!

Good thing is those involved have the means to fund NIL on their own.

Dude couldn’t stop complaining about a coach who took us to 4 Sweet 16’s, 2 elite 8’s and a final four… and who was the first modern era coach to take a mid major to the final 4.

But he supports ANYTHING and EVERYTHING a 36 yr old first time HC does.

You can’t script this stuff 🤣
