Last year the Miami basketball team finished the season with seven healthy players. When you play basketball in the Atlantic Coast Conference, that is not the kind of depth a team wants going against the best talent in the nation.
With seniors Anthony Lawrence II, Ebuka Izundu and Zach Johnson graduating, former McDonald’s All American Dewan Hernandez losing his eligibility and freshman Anthony Mack transferring the Miami basketball program had many roster spots to fill in the offseason.
Thankfully, Coach Jim Larrañaga, associate head coach Chris Caputo and assistant coach Adam Fisher worked tirelessly to recruit three top 150 players in point guard Isaiah Wong, forward Anthony Walker and shooting guard Harlond Beverley.
