It was a highly successful first year for Coach Jai Lucas at Miami and he brings back Henderson, a standout freshman wing who’ll be the focal point of the offense next year. The frontcourt may not be as potent on offense but with Cyril anchoring the post, the interior defense should be one of the best in the ACC.
Lewis was a standout freshman in his own right at Villanova and steps in as the lead guard. Dorn and Goode were quality shooters at their previous spots, while both Allens could have larger roles coming back for the Hurricanes. Gaskins, a top-30 forward prospect, is another key piece to watch as well.
