Antoine and Lewis are ranked No. 3 and No. 5 in the 2019 class according to 247 Sports.
“Coach Cal is really down to Earth and easy going,” Lewis said Monday. “He really just wanted to tell me the real deal about him and the program. We all know the rumors about UK and he wanted to set the record straight. He said he tries to teach his players how to be better people and better men. And he thinks I have qualities that some of his players don’t learn to have until they leave him.”
The two have expressed interest in possibly teaming up at the next level.
“Bryan and I are still talking about the possibility of us going to school together, we just don’t know yet,” Lewis said.
MONTCLAIR, N.J. — Dan Hurley was speaking to about 40 coaches at the Garden State Basketball Clinic on Friday when he made a bold, but entirely possible statement to those assembled.
“We might have the best guards in the country so we’re constantly trying to find ways to get our guards shots,” Hurley told the coaches.
Does Rhode Island have the best guards in the country entering the 2017-18 season?
They’re certainly in the conversation.
Consider that the Rams have four returning guards — E.C. Matthews, Jared Terrell, Stan Robinson and Jarvis Garrett (the father of twin boys)– who combined for 39.9 points, 11.5 rebounds and 6.7 assists last season when the team won the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament championship and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
MONTCLAIR, N.J. — With his son Buddy Boeheim set to become a freshman at Syracuse during the 2018-19 season, Jim Boeheim plans to coach for at least another five years.
“I’m not leaving my son there,” Boeheim, who turns 73 in November, said with a smile at the Garden State Basketball Clinic at Montclair (N.J.) Immaculate Conception High School.
When I mentioned that that meant Boeheim would be on the job for at least five more years, Boeheim smiled and said, “He might redshirt, too.”
If Buddy Boeheim ends his career in four years, his career would end during the 2021-22 season. If he redshirts, it would be pushed to the 2022-23 season, when Jim Boeheim will turn 78.
MONTCLAIR, N.J. -- The way Jim Boeheim
