Miami picked up a VCU transfer on Friday in Michael Gilmore. Gilmore is a 6'9" stretch forward and is the son of Artis Gilmore.
Here's a snippet on Gilmore who will have to sit out a year before becoming eligible...
At 6'9", Gilmore is a "stretch" forward with the ability to connect from outside (39.4 percent from 3 last year) as well as play in the post, a major component in Miami's offense and one that may be missing from the roster this upcoming season. Gilmore played inconsistently in his sophomore year, starting 18 games but averaging 3.2 points and 2.8 rebounds in 11.5 minutes of action. He concluded his VCU career with 12 points and 8 rebounds off the bench in their NCAA tournament loss to eventual Final Four participant Oklahoma, a bright sign for his future with the Hurricanes. Gilmore is a prime candidate to benefit a redshirt year, which will give him the opportunity to make continued physical gains in Miami's renowned strength and conditioning program and to tighten up his defense, reduce turnovers, and crash the boards -€” areas that Coach Jim Larrañaga has focused on with previous transfers, and which may have been the reason why Gilmore was shuffled in and out of the lineup all year.

Justin Moore commits to Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech added a 3 star point guard out of San Diego. Moore attributes his commitment to the relationship he's built with Georgia Tech assistant Darryl LaBerrie.
Here's what Moore said on his decision...
“Being in the best conference in the country is big, and then Coach Pastner is not only a great coach but a great person,” Moore said. “And also being given the opportunity to play a lot as a freshman, that was big, too.”
