Miami's Five Star Signee Set to Shine in the McDonald's All-American Game

After the round of 32 exit in the NCAA Tournament, the Miami Hurricanes turn their attention to the 2026-27 season, and it starts at the McDonald's All-American Game.

The Miami Hurricanes now have seven McDonald's All-Americans on their roster, and this season, Jai Lucas has his first in Caleb Gaskins.

Gaskins has played 31 games this season and has averaged nearly a double-double in his senior season at Columbus. The five-star signee has averaged 22.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 2.9 assists, along with 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks.

He will star in the McDonald's All-American Game alongside some of the best talent in the country who are putting on for their signed schools as well.

Other Hurricanes that have been McDonald's All-Americans: Tito Horford, Steve Edwards, Darius Rice, Dewan Hernandez, Lonnie Walker IV, and Jalil Bathea.

Historically, Gaskins is the second-highest rated recruit in Miami program history. In the 247Sports Composite, he is slotted No. 13 nationally, No. 3 among power forwards, and No. 3 in Florida.

No. 1 was Bethea from last season's roster.

Early Impressions:

Gaskins has already played in some events during the weekend and has flashed what the Canes are getting next season. He was named King of the Court Champion, highlighted by an ankle-breaker for the win.

Gaskins has all the tools to be an early impact freshman similar to the Canes' Shelton Henderson and Dante Allen. Gaskins is likely to be a starter as well starting this season.

The McDonald's All-American Game will be on March 31, on ESPN at 9 p.m. ET.
