Guards Paul Djobet and Nijel Pack and forward Matthew Cleveland are the only returning players for Miami in 2024-25. Miami hosts Farleigh-Dickinson on Monday night to begin the 2024-25 season. After two exceptional runs in the last two NCAA Tournaments, Miami has turned the page with 13 new players.

Pack is the only remaining player Miami has from the 2023 Final Four run. Miami advanced to the 2022 Midwest Regional Final before losing to eventual National Champion Kansas. Pack had an injury-plagued season in 2023-24 that included missing seven games. Pack will lead Miami as the starting point guard in 2024-25.

Expect Pack to be the top scoring option for Miami early with the other players on the roster getting used to playing in the Larranga system. Miami will have one of the best backcourts nationally with five-star freshman Jalil Bethea, Stetson transfer Jalen Blackmon and A.J. Stanton-McCray as a transfer from Samford.

Farleigh-Dickinson advanced to the second round of the 2023 NCAA Tournament after becoming to the second 16 seed to beat a one when they upset Purdue. The Knights were 15-17 overall and 9-7 in the Northeast Conference in 2023-24. FDU was picked third in the NEC and guard Jo'el Emmanuel was named preseason All-Conference.

Summary

Miami should win its season opener on Monday easily with a far superior roster of talent even with the injuries. It should not be difficult for head coach Jim Larranaga to motivate Miami with FDU's win over Purdue 20 months ago. Miami will be off until Sunday when they host Binghamton.
