Miami linked to high-scoring guard Chaz Lanier
The Miami Hurricanes finished the first phase of their roster building the roster last week as the roster has grown to nine players.
Jim Larranaga and his staff obviously want Dillion Mitchell, but there’s now a report that the Canes are linked to another big-time scorer in the portal.
According to a report by Jon Rothstien he posted on twitter that Miami and many other schools have interest into him.
Let’s just say landing Lanier would be a huge addition. For North Florida last season, he averaged 19.7 PPG on 51% shooting from the field and 44% from 3-point range. He also added 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game for the Ospreys. He primarily played off the ball but also ran the point, so he could give Miami depth throughout the backcourt.
Lanier, a 6-foot-4 and 199-pound guard out of Nashville, came close to being a 50/40/90 player last season, and as things seem to stand, it is likely he will end up in Knoxville playing for the Volunteers. However, seeing several schools in contact makes it seem he might be more open to other programs than many previously thought.
He has also just been crystal balled to Tennessee.
This would be a great addition. Let’s see if Jim and his staff can make some noise.
