When Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball guard Isaiah Wong announced over the summer that he was going to return to UM, he did so with his head coach believing it’ll likely only be for one more year.
Wong, UM’s leading scorer (17.1 points per game) from last year, is back in Coral Gables for his third season with the Hurricanes after declaring for the 2021 NBA draft in April before opting to return to Miami in June.
But for coach Jim Larrañaga, there’s already a belief that 2021-22 will be Wong’s final season with the program.
“We believe wholeheartedly in him and have tremendous confidence that this will likely be his last year at the University of Miami because he’s an NBA-quality guard,” Larrañaga said.
