Shonn Miller (Cornell Transfer) Met With UCONN

[Hans Sprungfeld]

As a male with a teaching degree, no it isn't.

"As a male with a teaching degree, no . . ."
NOT BETTER

 

[OkaForPrez]

If I were Shonn Miller I'd consider another school after reading what this thread has become.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Yeah, call me for those last two: just cranky wading through the mess looking for something substantial when I should just accept that the visit isn't until next week.

 

[OkaForPrez]

Eh, we're both being snarky.

6'7' 215 lbs. Just where DHam needs to get . Matched pair.

Yeah, you got me.

 

[Fishy]

LOL. Someone actually referred to the writing skills of a blogger.

Leave the kid alone - he clearly appreciates genius.

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

I think Miller will improve his 3pt shot % at UConn. He will get more open looks. I would guess we are looking at around 36-37.5%ish. The kid will work day and night in the gym this summer. He may not sleep at all as he prepares for what could be the most magical year of his life.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Of course I would be happy if this kid commits(please do). But there's a part of me who want a big who's actually "big." Just someone who can grab at least 7 rebounds a game, and puts a body on somebody on the boards. I don't care if he averages 5 ppg.

Miller is an excellent rebounder - second in the Ivy League in rebounds and total rebound percentage (first in defensive rebound percentage).

Oh, and he also blocks a ton of shots, finished first in the Ivy League in defensive rating, and scores 17 points per game.

The kid is perfect for what we're looking for.

I think what he is saying is he wants a player like Miller, but for him to be like 6'10" or 7'0" and 250+.

I kind of figured I was misinterpreting his post, but regardless, 6'7 is plenty tall for a college power forward. AB is a bad rebounder, no question about it, but his rebounding woes will be far less costly with Miller in the fold at the four. There is a good chance I am going to lose my mind sometime soon and begin scouring over film of his year at Cornell in anticipation of his visit. I really feel like this kid could be one of the most valuable newcomers in the country.

Miller's nice and all, but it'd be better if we could find a stretch 4 that rebounds like Drummond, defends like Emeka, handles like Shabazz and shoots like Rashad. I'm not a fan of Ollie settling here.

You forgot - passes like Marcus Williams and blocks shots like Thabeet Rico, and why not dunk like Stanley?

Come on, mau. I don't want to get greedy.

 

[David 76]

And look like Gardler.

Well that's why we didn't make the tourney this year because you sat back all worried about greed. Suck it up Rico, man up. That guy is out there!

 

[Hoophound]

And look like Gardler.

If you are into men that look like hot women. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Played golf in Delaware a couple weeks ago and we went from the Greene Turtle to another bar in Rehoboth Beach and this description became evident immediately when we walked in the door. Although a nice place, we immediately walk right back out

Should take Cal out of the running (and damn, good gets by Cuonzo)

 

[raf46]

This past Thursday per Goodman. Illinois, BC, Michigan, Marquette and Cal are also pursuing him.

Averaged 16.8 ppg, 8.5 rebounds on 43% shooting.

Always good to have more depth and seems to be a versatile player who can bang down low and shoot the three (but not all that well... 29%). He could certainly help on the boards as well as help generate more points from the front court.

Hopefully we can bring in another ball handler in for next year to help Jalen, but Ollie has a good track record with using transfers really well as was the case for both RJ and Lasan.

Miller had 28 offensive boards in 30 games. Do the math. We have a player his size. DHAM.

Tennessee fans are like WTF

Yanni Hufnagel, for the Barry Slice Rohrssen fanboys, this is the result of a recruiter if Cal pulls that off, not signing 3 stars to Pitts and having them develop like everyone else that stepped thru that program.
