While the Miami Hurricanes are just four days away from the start of the 2015-16 basketball season, the focus on Monday afternoon was exclusively on solidifying the future. Unfortunately for Miami, that future just got a bit murky.

In a decision between Miami and UMass, talented Louisiana duo DeJon Jarreau and Brison Gresham chose the Minutemen in a disappointing recruiting loss for the Miami coaching staff.

The commitment from the package deal would have given the Hurricanes a solidified future going forward with plenty of talent leaving Coral Gables after this season. Even with four-star center Rodney Miller and San Jose St. transfer Rashad Muhammed waiting in the wings for next season, Coach Larranaga and his staff will now have plenty of work going forward to bring in new talent.

Part of that new talent could include five-star recruit Dewan Huell. The Miami Norland High School power forward is ranked No. 21 in the ESPN Top 100 and could be a program-changing signing for the Canes. Now more than ever, the Hurricanes have to capture his signature for the 2016 class.

Even with all the momentum the Miami program has created, the Canes have now lost out on this Louisiana duo and Juwan Durham who committed to UConn in September. Losing out on a prized hometown recruit like Huell as well could be a devastating blow for the next couple years.

With all the buzz surrounding the upcoming season, this news could be glossed over, but make no mistake, losing out on this duo is a huge loss for the Miami program.
