Wanted to share this news and it is something that has been discussed internally between all of us on staff for a few weeks. We have made a commitment to bring better and up-to-date Miami Hurricanes Basketball coverage compared to the industry of South Florida Media outlets. We feel as if the Hurricanes Basketball team does not receive nearly the type of coverage or notoriety it actually deserves, and that is something we are going to change.

We will be at the Hurricanes Basketball Media Day Friday on campus and Basketball coverage will be a staple of CanesCounty from this day forward on the Rivals network. This is something I had taken pride in before and still do take pride in now, in terms of retrieving sources for Basketball in the spring when I had my own personal media outlet and before choosing Rivals in the summer. I had broke the stories on Nijel Pack and Norchad Omier transferring into the program during the off-season and much credit within that goes to solid sources close to the basketball program. That is a foundation and the expectation that will be set and carried over here at CanesCounty from me and the staff.

This very same plan we have with the Basketball team is similar to what will be coming from our end for the Baseball team at Miami. That is currently being set up by our staff for proper coverage on the team and recruiting in the near future. The Miami Hurricanes are more than just a Football team and we are committed to keeping you in the loop on Hurricanes Football, Basketball and Baseball.

The FutureCast pick:

After speaking to a few sources around the Miami Hurricanes Basketball team this week. The expectation is that Rivals150 Center Michael Nwoko from Windsor, California should be taking his talents to Miami and joining their 2023 recruiting class. I have logged a FutureCast pick in light of the upcoming commitment announcement for the 6'10" Center to Miami tomorrow.

Jim Larranaga and new assistant coach Kotie Kimble have done a phenomenal job recruiting Nwoko out of the west coast according to a source. They value Nwoko's ability being an active rebounder in the front court. The finalists are amongst Providence, Georgia Tech, Northwestern, Vanderbilt and UCLA aside from Miami. An official visit was set for this week with the UCLA Bruins for the Center but that will not be happening. He is announcing at 3:45 PM EST tomorrow, October 6th. Great timing coinciding with the Basketball Media Day coming up right?

The Miami Hurricanes Basketball team will be setting foot on the court at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Florida on October 30th for their first game of the season against the IUP Crimson Hawks.
