A lot has been made of the eight transfers that Manny Diaz and the Miami football program have added in the 2019 offseason. Jim Larranaga and the Miami basketball program have used transfers throughout Larranaga’s tenure in Coral Gables. Both of Larranaga’s Sweet 16 teams at Miami have prominently featured transfers.

Three of Miami’s top four scorers on the Hurricanes 2012-13 team that won the ACC regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament transferred to Coral Gables.
