Could we be looking at Jack McClinton the 2nd? Apparently the Canes will be getting much needed backcourt depth from Villanova in the form of scorer Malcom Grant.
Personally, I've never seen the kid play. So maybe one of you will have to tell me what the deal is. Supposedly he is a streaky shooter that can score in bunches. Sounds an awful lot like Jack. Which frankly, isn't a bad thing. McClinton has helped breathe new life into this program and I'd take a player off a Sweet 16 team any day.
The problem is that he'll have to sit out the next season, so we won't get that instant boost. What we will have is some insurance once Jack leaves, in case DeQuan Jones doesn't pan out. Hopefully he will and that will just mean we'll have that much more depth. In any case, good news continues to stream in for the Miami basketball program. If the Kansas home-and-home goes through as planned, that will be another huge step. Facing the defending national champs would be a huge honor, even if we get blown out of the water.

Have to agree on getting a series with Kansas. A few years ago Duke agreed to a home and home against UF. The Blue Devils blue out the Gators in the first game of the series, but it was a help in getting some more national exposure for a team on the rise. Regardless of the outcome, it doesn't hurt Miami to get a school like Kansas on the schedule.
Have you heard anything about the kid that's coming out of American Heritage next year? What's Haith doing to get him?
Haith is recruiting Boynton really hard. He's been on him since 8th grade.
