As noted in the Kampe thread, it appears Coach was on a recruiting visit to Miami yesterday, quite probably to see Emmanuel Newsome. Newsome's AAU Team, Wade Elite, tweeted yesterday that he has an offer from Oakland University. www.verbalcommits.com/players/emmanuel-newsomeNewsome is billed as a 6-0, 155 pound point guard. Plenty of video of him if you search YouTube. His AAU team appears to be connected to Dwyane Wade, as there are several videos of him practicing wide Wade and Wade's son on social media.

Damn, we're offering a lot of point guards in the coming years. We're gonna have a lot of guard depth, hopefully we can stay healthy in the front court or we'll be thin in coming years.

Newsome gets listed as a PG, but looking at his various online highlights, I have to assume that Kampe's looking at him as an undersized shooting guard.
Also, for 2019, we're currently looking at Brock, XHM, Brechting, and Sowunmi, with Beck and Palombizio able to play the 4. That could change (Brechting could decide he wants to play so bad that he's willing to waste a year to play for three weeks, counting on incoming bigs to be academically eligible has bit us like three times in the past decade, the silly belief among some fans that Brock is leaving at the end of this year is a thing that exists), but right now, we're covered for the year in question. The following year, it looks we'll probably wind up playing a couple freshmen in big backup roles, but we thought we'd be doing that next year too, and those spots got filled in by some crazy transfers out and in. We have to have a rebuild year again eventually.
