I took my son to one game in Millett in which TL scored (as best I recall) 10 points—all on dunks.

And he could jump. I guess his game never evolved.

I remember him going off for 30 in a game once (CMU?). Weird.

Another nice recruit. Long, athletic, will block shots. Can score around the basket, but also a decent mid-range and 3 point shot.
This coaching staff has more momentum right now than any coaching staff has had at Miami in the last 20 years. Jack Owens got off to a decent start with Sibande, Adaway, Brown, and Ringo, but that doesn’t compare to this. Since Travis Steele took over April 1, he retained 2 hs recruits who committed to Owens and has received 9 commitments, 6 high school recruits and 3 D1 transfers.
Steele and this coaching staff seem to understand things that were always missing with Cooper and Owens. They know how to sell Miami, they know how to establish culture and they know how to build team camaraderie.

Travis seems to be enjoying his time so far…the social media and team building seems way up (maybe it was there)…but this just sells better or at least gives off a more big time, yet family “vibe.”
Hope he’s able to get some early success on court to get some people at games.

Travis and his staff are worth more than every penny they’re getting paid…even before the season officially tips-off.

They seem to be batting around .400 with the targets they are recruiting (if I may mix metaphors). The guys they are getting all look like real D1 players. One thing Max noted that can’t be stressed enough: Length. Huge for defense (et. al.) in the current game.

How good is Akron Buchtel with two guys on that list?
Only #31 in Division 2 poll (MaxPreps). 6-4, 3-0 in league. Maybe they’re a tournament team.
