As a male, the field is a lot easier in obtaining a job out of college. Anyways, back to Miller. Let's get this damn kid next Friday, KO. Time to get some momentum going into the offseason.

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

It depends on what you teach. Something easy like social studies, English, PE, or health is not gonna be easy finding a job. Those teachers are a dime a dozen. Something hard like mayh, science, SPED, or Spanish would be very easy to obtain a position.

I know I always struggled with mayh in school.
 
I hate you guys. This thread, like most, has warped into some bizarre off-hand commentary regarding nothing. I recognize that I'm not contributing my adding my two cents. Let's hope there is something to actually talk about soon in this thread re: Miller.
 
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

There's actually a lot of stuff in here if you look. You just need to do the mayh.

"As a male, the field . . . "
English major? Hmm
 
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.

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.

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.
