The Hurricanes are moving fast with their roster construction now having a projected starting lineup;
PG: Tre Donaldson
SG: Tru Washington
SF: Tomotej Malovec
PF: Malik Reneau
• C: Ernest Udeh Jr.
BENCH:
• Dante Allen
Miami still has a lot of work to do finishing out the roster, but one thing is clear and that is the Hurricanes will be at least five times better than they were last season. They are making waves and attempting to be one of the best teams in the ACC and reentering the tournament.
They are stacking the roster with talent, but the question of X's and O's comes with the young, inexperienced head coach. He could be a mastermind (defensively, he was the architect for the Duke Blue Devils' historic metric), and now he looks to make a way forward for the future of the Hurricanes.
