Question are we done? Seems like we have more spots to fill.

Coach said they’re done with high schoolers. Saving remaining spots for transfer portal.

Good question. By my count we have 9 scholarship players on current roster who have remaining eligibility for next year. Add these two commits and that leaves 2 spots open.

Right now I would be more likely to want to save those ships for transfer portal options.

Is he a combo guard as well Nick…great to have at least 2 if not three PGs, just curious (@~6-2, sort of Mekhi or Dean mold, or straight up PG)?

Assume he would be instant playing time at that ranking.

Makes sense. I like this strategy.

Impressive…

Coach also mentioned Skaljac was the staff’s No 1 priority, probably of their tenure at Miami thus far.

I like that he said we need to dominate OHIO recruiting, implying our recruiting competition is more than just the other five MAC schools.

I love all the guys the staff has brought in. It may feel distant because we are still in the rebuild, but we will be very good very soon.

Hey, nutrition guy. Two words- milkshakes.

I was thinking during the Evansville game that if we could somehow transfer some of Mirambeaux’s mass to Potter that we could dramatically improve both players.

What is the source of Steele’s comments? Radio?
