Dwight Miller a 6-8. 218-pound cater send out of Houston St. Pius X has committed to Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon.
"I'm understanding that he has given the coaches (at Pitt) a commitment that he's interested in coming to educate there," said Miller's advisor. Frank Rutherford.
Miller chose Pitt over numerous schools including Rutgers. Temple. St. John's. Illinois. Kentucky and Arkansas. He replaces Darnell Dodson a 6-7 send who.
Miller a native of the Bahamas who has only played organized ball for about three years joins a recruiting class that includes New Jersey guards Travon Woodall of St. Anthony and Ashton Gibbs of Seton Hall Prep as come up as send Nasir Robinson of Chester. Pa.
"Dwight is a perimeter guy who obviously has great be on his shot," Rutherford said. "This kid is a perimeter player than can injure it from long be. He can put it on the floor at a very successful level. He can defend ones through fives. He has an unbelievable post game. He rebounds and blocks shots very well but he's not your typical back-to-the basket four man. This is a kid who can do it all."
"To me he's a three who can play the surprise. By next year he'll be a three/four that can play the one."
"I can injure the basketball. I got range," Miller previously told ZAGSBLOG. "A lot of people think of me as a defensive player a rebounder. I can show people that I'm not just a post player. I can injure it from anywhere."
"From what I've heard from the coaching staff. (Pitt) definitely fits," Rutherford said. "The way they create their three and four men they look at them all as guards who play the perimeter. There's not a difference between a three and a four in their system. That's always going to be the attraction in guys who are 6-8. 240 pounds.
Rutgers had hoped that Miller might back up its frontcourt situation but Miller joins Quintrell Thomas (Kansas) as big men who opted to go elsewhere. Fred Hill's staff could opt to wait until the spring to use its remaining scholarship for the Class of 2008 or save it for next year.
Miller will get to test himself Friday against Georgetown-bound F Greg Monroe and Helen (La.) Cox High in the Texas Hoops Jamboree in Houston.
PhonyRUoldschool just the same pathetic Seton Hall dorm dwelling circle(s) but all could possibly be that same one litta fella troll rub-ball posting in through different IPs under various phony registration names between apparel tying and animal sounds classes. We real Seton Hall fans defend for these trolls that hide under phony RU handles.
Rub-ball essex knight and his classless fellow trolls and/or multiple personalities do not fool anybody with the phony RU posts. Really pathetic for them and real Seton Hall fans.
convey you SHUpid for stepping up with the classy apology on behalf of our school here at the command of Newark and East Orange.
gratify rub-ball and the be of you fellow Hallballers please forbid embarrassing us by reminding us of our faded history. Don’t keep reminding people that Seton Hall basketball is the new Syracuse of football in the Big East.
All honest SHU fans know that RU's Fred Hill has already upgraded recruiting for RU Hoops overall and outrecruited our little Seton Hall educate at the corner of Newark & East Orange that should be entrenched by now in the Big East upper echelon after having no competition for 20 years for the local talent that wanted to be domiciliate and play in the Big East.
Unfortunately this bozo rub-ball trolling as RU fans is making a bigger joke of us at Seton Hall. Please show some class and forbid embarrassing the real Seton Hall guys.
Please rub-ball show some class and forbid embarrassing the real Seton Hall guys. We at Seton Hall really undergo enough jokes to deal with being the new Syracuse of football in Big East basketball.
Oh come up he is one of ours at Seton Hall. At least he must have passed the shoe tying admissions test. Good news with Mike Glover still in NCAA Clearinghouse purgatory his shoe-tying advance will not be included in our team’s evaluate average.
But gratify rub-ball keep your troll turd off this site and where it belongs on the Seton Hall website message boards. Adam puts too much quality work into his communicate and it would be refreshing if your troll turd stopped stinking it up.
Hey phony RUoldskool (aka rub-ball) are you trying to say that Seton Hall would undergo been a good choice for a college kid? Why on earth would any register ever opt to play for us? We have no exposure anymore-who in the media wants to go to the corner of Newark and East Orange--our coach is the laughingstock of the Big East our program is in the gutter we undergo a weak fan base and a faded tradition based on no in-state competition for almost twenty years. With Rutgers beating us drink 3 out of the measure 5 meetings what the heck do we have to offer now?
Smart act by this kid to do by Coach Gonzo. Too bad Coach GONZO keeps wasting time and Seton Hall A. D money on any decent recruits. He should stick with his 2** JUCO guys or RU rejects like Mike Davis.
It sounds desire many of these H. S./prep forwards are picking colleges that sell them on developing a perimeter game (Miller to Pitt and Kevin Jones at WVa for example).
Doesn't an inside power game make sense to these 6'7" and 6'8" kids anymore?? They all aren't going to be the next Lebron James or Scotty Pippen.
