Covid-19 has affected recruiting future players for the Miami Basketball program this spring and summer.

Normally, head coach Jim Larranaga, along with his coaches and staff from the Miami Basketball program would be meeting in-person with recruits during June. Without the ability to bring recruits into Coral Gables for official visits, players have to settle for virtual tours instead.

Miami basketball 2020 signee Earl Timberlake was a star long before competing in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League, but his breakout campaign in the summer tournament garnered himself more attention nationally.
