Brandon Johnson - Productive at both ends Johnson racked up 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 26 minutes during Sunday's 93-63 win over Coppin State.

Impact The Hurricanes cruised to an easy win over Coppin State on Sunday, and while players such as Nijel Pack and Matthew Cleveland made their presence felt, the impact of Johnson on both ends of the court can't be overlooked. The senior has been productive early on, scoring in double digits in each of his last two outings while grabbing at least seven boards in each of his three appearances.

Matthew Cleveland - Nears double-double Cleveland produced 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes during Sunday's 93-63 win over Coppin State.

Impact Cleveland returned to the starting lineup for this contest and delivered an impressive performance, finishing just three boards shy of recording a double-double. This was his first start of the campaign, but expect Cleveland to remain in such a role going forward.

A.J. Staton-McCray - Not part of starting lineup Staton-McCray is not part of the Hurricanes' starting lineup for their game Sunday against Coppin State.

Impact In Staton-McCray's place is Matthew Cleveland.

Nijel Pack - Hands out six dimes Pack recorded 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 30 minutes during Sunday's 88-64 victory over Binghamton.

Impact Pack was the leading scorer for a Miami team that cruised to a 24-point win, but he also excellent in the assists department, where he was the leader as well. Pack should be one of Miami's most reliable offensive options all season long if he stays healthy.

Lynn Kidd - Huge game in season opener Kidd racked up 24 points (10-11 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 113-72 victory over FDU.

Impact Kidd couldn't have wished for a better debut with Miami, missing just one shot from the field and ending just one rebound away from a double-double. Given that he was one of three Miami players who logged more than 25 minutes in this game, it seems Kidd will be a regular in the Hurricanes' frontcourt after transferring from Virginia Tech in the offseason.

Matthew Cleveland - Limited in opener Cleveland notched nine points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Monday's 113-72 win over FDU.

Impact After starting all 29 nine games he appeared in for Miami in 2023-24 Cleveland was cleared to play early but came off the bench -- a clear sign he wasn't at 100 percent. He still logged a comparable minutes total to the starters and was efficient from a shooting standpoint, so he's likely not far away from greater production. He now has nearly a full week to rest up before Miami takes on Binghamton, and barring any setbacks, a return to the starting five should be on the table.

Jalil Bethea - Coming off bench in opener Bethea is not starting Monday's season opener against Fairleigh-Dickinson.

Impact Despite his status as a five-star and top-10 consensus overall recruit, Bethea will come off the bench in his collegiate debut. Veteran Nijel Pack will presumably handle most of the ball-handling out of the gates.

Matthew Cleveland - Not starting opener Cleveland is not in the starting lineup for Monday's season opener against Fairleigh-Dickinson.

Impact It was reported earlier that Cleveland would be available, but he won't be starting despite starting all 29 games he appeared in for the Hurricanes last year. Brandon Johnson will got the nod at power forward in his stead, which could limit Cleveland's fantasy upside in the season opener.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Matthew Cleveland - Available in opener Cleveland (undisclosed) will be available in Miami's opener against Fairleigh-Dickinson, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Cleveland was questionable ahead of the Hurricanes' opener, but appears to be good to go. The forward is in line for a big year in Coral Gables after averaging 13.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals last season.

Kiree Huie - Out indefinitely Huie (hand) is set to miss an unspecified period of time after sustaining a hand injury earlier this month, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Huie will not appear in the Hurricanes' exhibition game against Saint Leo on Wednesday, and it is unclear when he will return to action. The 6-foot-9 senior, who transferred in from Idaho State, averaged 11.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.2 blocks on 26.8 minutes per game. With Huie (hand) out indefinitely, and Matthew Cleveland (undisclosed) questionable for Miami's opener against FDU, the Hurricanes will have to rely on less proven options in the frontcourt to start the season.

Matthew Cleveland - Questionable for FDU game Cleveland (undisclosed) is questionable for Miami's game against Fairleigh-Dickinson on Nov. 4, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Currently, an undisclosed problem is affecting Cleveland's availability. The update indicates he will likely sit out Miami's exhibition game against Saint Leo on Wednesday, giving him no game time to prepare for when the regular season begins on Nov. 4.

Kiree Huie - Suffers hand injury Miami's head coach Jim Larranaga said Huie suffered a hand injury, according to Adam Lichtenstein of The South Florida Sun Sentinel.

Impact Larranaga said Huie's "return timetable" is not 100 percent known, potentially denting his availability for the beginning of Miami's 2024-25 season. But before it begins, he has one chance to get game ready, as the Hurricanes have an exhibition matchup scheduled for Oct. 30 against St. Leo.
