It's Miller Time

[Stainmaster]

Also, at some point KO has gotta get credit for zeroing in on these big time transfers... kromah could have played at indiana, miller had his choices, but KO reeled him in.

Agreed. This is KO's best recruiting hall by far but he will always get from his doubters. Just the way it goes.

Beautiful!!!!

"It just felt like home," Miller said. "I got along with all the players and everybody in general just welcomed me like I was a part of their family."

The 6-foot-7 Miller averaged 16.8 points and 8.5 rebounds for Cornell this past season and was one of the most coveted transfers on the market.

He also considered Marquette, Michigan, California and Illinois.

I always love KO and am generally very positive but was told some things about One of the recruiting assistants that makes me think he will struggle in that role. A lot of us are just saying we want another recruiter on staff to do some of the heavy lifting, it seems like it's all KO at times.

Huge get!!

Phew.....what a relief! What a great fit! Now for the next piece of the puzzle...a PG please!

Not on this site he won't. There are enough idiots who believe KO can't recruit or win with his own players. Miller is a very important get for us.

This is such a huge get. Our biggest weaknesses against good teams were defensive rebounding and slow rotations due to lack of experience & communication. Miller is as close to a one-man fix for both of those as was available via any avenue - high school, JuCo, 5th years, whatever.

And on the other side of the ball he hits the hell out of his FTs and can pass a little bit, two other things that we lacked this year.

And so the trend of KO's recruiting classes improving every year continues. Very happy day for UConn hoops.

Great news.

 

[uconnsouth]

Sorely needed good news on the trail

 

[businesslawyer]

Great news as I'm waiting for my wife shopping at forever 21. Something to get me over this misery! Lol.

Great get now get one more guard and we can make some noise next year.

If your wife is young enough to be shopping at forever 21, than there are many on here who are not feeling sorry for you.

She just turned 30. I'm 45. Yes and she is from Brazil. So I guess no reason to complain. Lol!

Welcome Shonn!
Next season will be something special that you will never forget!

 

[Hugo]

Great get !!! Miller should had much needed scoring AND rebounding

Awesome get for Ollie! Welcome Shonn!

Looks like he shot way to many 3's (3.5 a game) for being a 27% shooter. He was actually 50% from the field excluding 3's. I hope Ollie gets him to focus on the paint.

Great News and Welcome Shonn!!

Special Thanks to SchoolBoyQ!!

 

[Blue Blood]

Is the rest of the american ready to get millerized

 

[Stainmaster]

I think that the university should consider forming an unofficial partnership with ScHoolboy Q. It'd be great to have him again when other top recruits visit...

 

[johnhuskies95]

His field goal percentage is slightly concerning considering his position, but he rebounds really well and I expect a lot of his missed shots had to do with having to be the focal point of the offense.

He actually shot a lot of 3's so hopefully he won't have to here. Just when he is wide open.

I think it's shot selection - jacked up 3.5 threes a game last year.

 

[UConn4ever]

Remember last time what happened when we got a grad transfer?

 

[DALTX]

UConn Shonn !

 

[UConnSwag11]

chill about his 3 pt %... he's not going to be taking threes unless he develops the shot over the course of the season for the pick and pop... we have hamilton, adams, and purvis as of now for 3s... he needs to board, block shots, and score downlow

“I’m very excited,” Miller said by phone on Saturday afternoon.

“I was feeling accepted by everybody, welcoming me into their family as if I were already a part of it,” he said.

He should be an immediate impact player for the Huskies.

“I think I can (be),” Miller said. “Whatever’s asked of me, I’ll do. I’m older and maybe a little more mature than a freshman might be coming in. Whatever’s needed, I’ll do.”

Great News and Welcome Shonn!! Special Thanks to SchoolBoyQ!!

Was schoolboy Q around campus? Haha what does this mean?

He performed at Gampel last night and Shonn attended the concert with Purvis, T-Sam, Brimah, SCJ, and Christian Foxen.

 

[The Funster]

Welcome Shonn.

 

[Chief00]

Quite frankly, it is a good pick-up but it is not a great pick-up. We need another shooter - preferably two and 27% from 3 doesn't fit that bill.
