Hi there Miami fan here. I have a question for you guys.

Not to bring up a sore subject, and I promise I'm not trolling, but I was watching the Cavs game with a buddy the other night and was reminded of the almost recruiting class you guys had before Groce left. I know one guy was Caris Levert, but I feel like there was at least one other stud I can't remember.

Could someone enlighten me?

Evan Bradds was a two time OVC player of the year with Belmont if I recall. The only two players from the sweet 16 team in 2012 yo not return were Kenny Belton who never played and Tayquan Gourd (sp?) who quit the team midseason. Lavert and Bradds would have taken their roster spots.

To think THIS is the possible sore subject with which a MofO fan could trigger us is testimony to the state of the rivalry.

I believe you're thinking of Tariq Owens who originally committed to OU for Jim Christian...

He allegedly didn't want to play for Saul Phillips, turns out he didn't want to play for really anyone.

ended up playing 1 year at Tennessee, transferred to St Johns, then transferred to Texas Tech where he actually played fairly well for them on their way to the National Championship loss to UVA.

No, you're off by 2 years. The first response was correct, it was Evan Bradds.
