Pretty sure he grew up without either of his parents. Went to 6 different high schools and was probably being used by the person handling his basketball and decisions about his basketball playing. Had 2 kids with I believe 2 different women. I think he was pretty much homeless after being kicked out of UConn.
Im sure someone else can give a more detailed response. He never had anything in life, never had guidance, no parental figure and put his trut in people who used him in the hopes they could ride his coat tails when he made it in basketball. Toledo isn't the most glamorous place either.
That's about as far as I've been able to get too.A little too much glee here....
I don't think he ever hit a woman - someone took out a restraining order which he violated. And then the woman who filed the order retracted the order...it was a perfect mess.
All things considered, it worked out for the best for UConn. For Nate, not so much...
The last I heard, he was recovered from a stabbing that collapsed both of his lungs. He was trying to get his career back on track with a barnstorming tour that was heading to China.
Kinda lost the thread on him after that.
He may not have an agenda, but he sure loves to remind the good folks at home what UConn has been dealing with off the court moreso than on the court during the game hes covering. Also Im referencing the 08-10 period, not right now, so you can put your Dick Vitale bobblehead back on your desk and relax.Anyone who insinuates that Vitale has an anti-UConn agenda isn't a real college basketball fan. You can't come to that conclusion if you actually watch Vitale do UConn games.

Can anyone speak specifically on the hardships he faced?
.
Way too many red flags, but I think JC saw the talent, saw a kid who basically grew up on his own and took way, way too many chances to get him into school.
.
Some filmography company in Ohio is trying to submit an ESPN 30 for 30 story on him. God only knows how that makes us look.
He is in the running to be the next president of BC.
Because after all the shady crap caused by his recruitment when he finally gets here what does he do before even his first official practice starts? Hitting a girl and violating a restraint order? He'd been on campus for what, a couple weeks?
Yeah he's going to be thrown under a bus. Kids make mistakes, but after all we went though to get him here, he could have been a lot smarter. I guess it worked out for the best as if we won anything with him in roster it could have caused issues.
I do hope he has found peace and success in life though.
iirc correctly ( and I may be off base) but weren't a significant number of our " impermissible phone calls" that we got dinged on by the NCAA centered on Miles too? Combine that with a former team manager paying medical cost, and yeah, I'll stand by my shady recruiting comment.
If it were Syracuse doing those things to land a player, we would eat their lunch calling them cheaters and screaming how dirty their program is.
As far as hitting. The affidavit posted above speaks for itself.
Even if the reality it is milder than the affidavit, he is not the victim here. He is a scholarship hoops player who made some terrible mistakes.
