Considered one of the most cerebral players on the team with a high basketball IQ, junior Julian Gamble has been around this Miami men’s basketball program since 2007-08 when he redshirted his first season on campus. Voted one of two Hurricanes most likely to become a head coach (alongside Malcolm Grant), this 6-9 center/forward can beat you on the court and in the video games. Let’s see what’s going on with JG as we head closer to the season.
