Its almost like having another jasper...

I can't wait for this guy to get here. Those are dominant numbers for a sophmore. Plus, he seems to have the right attitude. He should be a good one.

His stats are absurd. I've heard accusations from folks down in Texas that they're inflated because his dad is the coach, AD and principal of Miller's school. That supposedly lets him handle and doctor what comes out of the scorers' table before it hits the texas high school athletics governing body (whatever that is). No idea if that is true or not.

I do know that there may be academic issues though. I don't know anything about Miller as a student, but God's Academy has been all over the NCAA's radar for a few years as a possible "basketball factory" school, and there is some possibility that the NCAA will decide to reject transcripts from the school before Miller graduates. Hopefully that won't happen, but taking a look at their website doesn't do much do dispell that.

Not trying to discredit you but how can his dad possibly be getting away with doctoring his stats? If his dad said he had 40, and he only had 14, there would be possibly hundreds of people who could refute his claim.

But I guess AAU will tell about him. No one could hide facts with so many college coaches and pro scouts looking on.

I hope the stuff about academics isn't true. Because besides the fact that he might be ineligible to play at UK it is cheating him out of a proper high school education.

I cannot wait for KC to get to UK, its a shame its so far away. He better be a 5 star ranking when the rankings for his class come out, but I am sure he will be snubbed and given a 4. If he wasn't a UK commit he would be a 5 star probably.

Does anyone know when the rankings for his class, '10, will be released by rivals?

[caliparifan]

I can't wait for this kid to get here either. Hope all those accusations are untrue though. That would be a total bummer now, wouldn't it?

I don't think the accusations were bumping his scoring average up that much. More like, say, upping the assist numbers by two or three a game (which no one can pick up in during a high school game), and giving him maybe two more threes a game (to make him look like a better outside shooter). But yeah, you would think someone would catch on if they get too far out of hand. I hope it's not true and agree with you regarding the academics. It would be particularly bad if he pushed himself in the classroom and did everything he needed to academically but still got rejected because of the school's administration's failures.
