Jordyn Kee becomes the sixth in-state prospect to sign with Miami this offseason

Georgia transfer Jordyn Kee became the sixth in-state prospect that the Miami Hurricanes signed during the offseason. New coach Jai Lucas aims to reverse the team's fortunes and avoid another horrible season where they went 3-17 in the ACC and 7-24 overall.

Kee joined power forward Malik Reneau (Indiana), center Ernest Udeh Jr. (TCU), point guard Tre Donaldson (Michigan), shooting guard Tru Washington (New Mexico), Slovakian forward Timotej Malovec and forward Marcus Allen (Missouri).

They also recruited four-star shooting guard Dante Allen and four-star small forward Shelton Henderson from high school.

Lucas also hired Erik Pastrana from the coaching staff. Pastrana joined the Hurricanes after three seasons as an assistant coach with the Bulldogs. The Miami coach described Pastrana as someone he always wanted as a member of the coaching staff

“His work ethic, communication skills, and ability to build relationships with the players will be crucial to our program’s success. To bring him home to South Florida was a no-brainer," he said.

Per 247 Sports, Miami ranks 34th in the composite rankings and occupies 18th in the transfer category. Overall, the Hurricanes are No. 17 in the recruitment rankings as of Apr. 27.
