Like most college basketball coaches, Jim Larrañaga is ready for a little bit of a breather.
For him, there hasn't been much time to catch a breath since the Hurricanes' season ended in March with a Sweet 16 loss to eventual national champion Villanova. There have been off-season conditioning programs, recruiting trips and summer workouts to keep him busy -- and help him begin to gauge where his Hurricanes will be come next season.
Miami will find itself in some kind of rebuilding mode with three of its top players and two of its leading scorers -- Sheldon McClellan, Angel Rodriguez, and Tonye Jekiri -- graduated.
