I feel like a lot of posters are unaware about this commit, seems pretty low traffic for such a get. He is an immediate starter and could be one of the best players on the team. trouting out a line up of Adams, Purvis, Hamilton, Miller, Brimah... wow. no excuses

"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.

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

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.
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.

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.

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...:cool:

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.
