"Yea I just added Marquette to my list"

http://www.zagsblog.com/2010/08/25/miller-wants-to-join-bello-in-college/

"Still [in addition to Louisville], Miller is also considering Baylor, Kentucky, Wake Forest, Kansas, UCLA, Marquette, Duke and Oklahoma."

Hope he and Austin continue to give Marquette some thought.

What is a better name for a Milwaukee area player than Miller.

The tag lines are endless

[NersEllenson]

Wow! Number 2 player in the country on Scout's list for 2011.  Stiff competition for his services with the schools listed.  That said, I do find it interesting that at this late in the game for 2011 recruiting, we were added to his list.  Usually by now these lists are being trimmed, versus added to - so something caught his attention about MU recently.  GO BUZZ!!

[martyconlonontherun]

I know its ESPN, but they have him as the 4th overall and number 1 big man in the country.

Dream world in 2011-2012
Crowder
Miller
Wilson
DJO
Junior/Blue

That is a Final 4 quality team right there.

Even though he says he just added us that's not exactly correct.  He's mentioned MU more than once before, though not in quite some time until this week.

Yeah, he played with Vander on Team USA and they became friends.

Who knows. The biggest problem programs have had with recruiting Miller is that he really wants to go where a program will also accept his teammate, Deuce Bello. Coach K doesnt have a history of being pushed around by 17 year olds. Calipari will will certainly do it...especially if it means saving a couple hundred K to sign him outright. Most think Deuce is a bit of a project at the high D1 level because his value has been inflated playing with Miller.

I'll begrudgingly go along with getting a top 50 wing to go with the top center in the country. 

 But they better not try to throw a top 30 pf in there too, I don't want to get pushed around by these kids too much. 

[brewcity77]

ESPN has Bello as a 96 rating and the #25 SG in the country, Rivals has him as a 4-star and the #8 SF in the country (though at 6'3", SF is pushing it). Either way, if we get a top-5 prospect, I think we can easily find room for a 4-star, even if his rating is a bit overinflated.

[martyconlonontherun]

I agree^^^
We would be incredibly deep already
Crowder/Gardner
Miller/Williams
Wilson/Jones
DJO/Blue
Junior/Smith

I would be totally ok with giving the 11th spot to his friend.

[Blackhat]

Scout has him as the #8 SF.  rivals has Duece Bello as the #11 sg, 43rd player in the nation overall.

[mu89]

this is great! only bummer is this guy is probably a 1 and done. but great to see that MU can get mentioned with the elites.

Stone - I am literally LOL   TY!

[goodgreatgrand]

Never said taking on the added "baggage" isnt worth signing Miller. Got a chance to see him play and he is absolutely ridiculous. WAY better than Tobias Harris will be next year as a freshman at Tenn. Not even in the same ballpark. That said, I think he is expanding his list for leverage. First it was Baylor, then it was Duke and now its Louisville. His recruitment is harder to figure out than Wroten's....and that says a lot!

Silver lining in the "bummer": get drafted, raise MU's status of NBA-ready players, more top-tier recruits choosing MU.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

"Its Miller Time"  good to see Buzz going for the cream or the "Head "as it may be in this case.

[Jay Bee]

PS... Luke Cothron to... Italy.

Couldn't make it happen at Auburn, so he is going 'pro'

[pbiflyer]

Are we sure we should take him? Sounds like he doesn't even have a defined position. 

[MarkCharles]

Not so sure thats the best thing for Luke. If a super-talented pg like Brandon Jennings barely made a splash, what does a largely unpolished guy like Cothron think he is going to accomplish? Prep or JUCO seems like a better option for his basketball development.

[MarkCharles]

Kentucky just landed Kyle Wiltjer. Their 2011 class is stacked like no class since.........their 2010 class. Or maybe even their 2009 class. Seems less likely that Q Miller would choose them when theres already two highly regarded recruits signed there who play the same position, Wiltjer and Anthony Davis.

I'm trying not to get too excited about this left-field development of Miller adding us...

Yeah, it would be such a waste of scholarship to have to let this bum tag along for the ride, just to get Quincy.

Dang.  I just realized I have officially become an old timer watching that dunk Youtube video.

I was equally impressed at the dunks as I was annoyed by the posing after each one of them.  I guess I should get fitted for dentures soon.

[ATL MU Warrior]

yeah...why would we want someone with that kind of ability on the team? 

[AZWarrior]

I would be totally ok with giving the 11th spot to his friend.

Well we are, after all, a Christian institution.  I too, think it would be appropriate to extend the open hand of friendship to his friend.   

[GGGG]

No it's a terrible thing.  Jennings was a one and done, NBA talent.  Cothron is not.

While he might not be able to afford prep, two years of JUCO would be fine.

Duece Bello could actually be a SF at 6'3" becaue of his vert. his videos were crazy
