Jai Lucas and Miami face two more losses to transfer portal as offseason ramps up

Freshmen John Laboy II and Treyvon Maddox have both entered the transfer portal, adding two more departures to Jai Lucas' first Miami roster as the Hurricanes head into a critical rebuild around returning pieces like Shelton Henderson and Dante Allen.

John Laboy and Treyvon Maddox become Miami's latest portal departures

Laboy appeared in six games, averaged 4.6 minutes, scored seven total points, handed out three assists and knocked down two of his six 3-point attempts. As a recruit, 247Sports graded him as an 84-rated point guard out of Houston's St. Francis Episcopal School, where he signed with Miami in May after previously being committed to Columbia.

Maddox never cracked Miami's rotation, but he arrived as a top recruit. On3's Industry Ranking had him No. 113 nationally and No. 27 among small forwards in the 2025 class, while 247Sports had him as the No. 123 overall recruit when he committed last July.

Other Miami players who have entered the portal

Laboy and Maddox are not the first Hurricanes to make this move. They join guard Tru Washington and guard Noam Dovrat as Miami's other portal departures this offseason. Washington entered on March 28 and Dovrat entered on March 31.

Washington is still the biggest loss of the group. He played in 31 games with 19 starts and averaged 11.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting 44.3% from the field. Dovrat played a much smaller role, but he was productive in his minutes, appearing in 27 games and averaging 3.8 points while shooting 46.6% from 3-point range on 27 makes in 58 attempts.

Miami won 26 games and reached the NCAA tournament in 2025-26, but the roster that did it is changing quickly.

But, this is pretty much the reality in college athletics. When players leave, others will arrive to take their place.
