The news that Lucas would be the next head coach of the Hurricanes did come at a random time but it all but confirms that the Hurricanes should have their next head coach ready before the transfer portal season starts.
Duke is bound to make a run for the National Championship once March hits but it would also be great to see if Lucas has a major coaching role in that run. The only question marks around him now will he have to learn on the job about coaching a team. Coaching and leading are two different but same things.
He is already known to be a monster recruiter and by the success of Mario Cristobal at the University of Miami and him being known as a monster. recruiter, the sky is the limit for a program just in the Final Four two seasons ago.
If Vitale likes it, then everyone in Coral Gables will grow to love it. Lucas can be a part of the new era of Miami Hurricanes basketball has started to enter, and now they are preparing for something better.
