Getting to Know Garrius Adams

Oct. 14, 2010

This sophomore guard — who lets his game do the talking — played in all but one contest as a true freshman in 2009-10. After dropping a career-high 13 points at Wake Forest — including hitting three-of-five from long range, this 6-6 North Carolina native started seven-straight games in ACC play, which ranked as the second-most among Miami rookies last season. With solid year behind him, Garrius Adams is expected to contribute even more for the Hurricanes in 2010-11.
