Let's look at this rationally here, guys. Adam knew he was going to tear his ACL last summer, so he transferred away for a year so he wouldn't take up a scholarship slot, which allowed us to get Plummer to replace him. He picked LSU knowing that they were under investigation and Wade would likely get fired. That would then allow him to transfer right back to Illinois with a waiver for the coach being let go. It was the plan all along! He is the ultimate team player!
1 it will be interesting what players enter the portal. There have been some players who left their previous teams that I thought were happy in their situation
2 Miller tore his ACL who knows how he will recover will he be as quick or explosive. I have no clue. The advantage he has is he knows the system
3 the portal has changed recruiting you don’t need the 5 star freshman anymore. It might be better to get a solid transfer

I was under the impression Miller would transfer to Depaul and develop his pg skills. JFL would transfer to Illinois to average 25 a game, become a high draft pick, while helping the team to a repeat. Everyone is a happy camper.
Hell Miller can work on his pg skills with us. Will need some ball handlers with TF leaving.
Seems undersized
He’s 6’5”…but don’t think he profiles as a center given his ability to knock down 3s.
Think the point was - if brad and the team think it’s a good idea, who are we to say no? Being a good idea would inherently mean a scholarship available.
I think it’s worth noting that if he recovers to his old self, he may not have put up the points some of us expected, but he was a very important piece of a team that was much stronger last year than this year. I think the slip in play this year compared to what the fans expected speaks to what he provided our team that we took for granted. There’s a reason he started every game for the number 2 team in the country.

Can we just get the Adam Miller transfer thread going again? Gotta be approaching a record with this new life.

I'm not. He's not an immediate take in my book. I'd wait and see what's behind door #2.
Minor quibble: Miller's not really a wing, he's a SG/CG. And he had trouble finishing down low. To the point where he was pretty one dimensional offensively. Can he be better. Sure. How will his knee injury affect his athleticism?
If it’s skyy or Miller I think you gotta take skyy. Younger player always if they’re even or of course it the younger guy is better.
Too many question marks with Miller right now with the acl

Naw i think that imari played with leon smith as the big
Another potential benefit with Skyy is the fact he has a brother who Skyy has been vocal about wanting to play with:
ZZ Clark, DNA Prep Academy , Point Guard
ZZ Clark is a 6-2, 200-pound Point Guard from Brentwood, TN.

I've watched a bit of him and he's really good and his offer lists shows that as well.
Both tore acls anfew months apart. Skyy tore his over the summer. Adam tore his in the fall i believe.. right before the season started. Both are coming off ACLs. Skyy injured his meniscus also. I agree with you that id go with Skyy. I was very high on Miller out of Morgan Park. I know he was only a freshman but the problem was i only saw small flashes of his true game. Another posted said it best.. he missed too many open threes for me.
Good info skyy’s knees too. I did not know that.
The concern for both is that a catastrophic knee injury on one side greatly increases the chance on the other side within 5 years (or so I read a few years ago, don’t know if anything has changed since with advances in medical tech/rehab).
Buckner and Boyd Batts was a very good team. Won back to back titles
Not a medical guy but think a guy like Fletch changes those odds. Making sure there is equal strength would be critical. Know there have been some guys that have never regained the same level of athleticism. Always wondered if that was the case with DMW. Probably dependent on the exact injury.

If Miller wants to come back you take him. From watching his workouts on tape this summer he was going to have a monster year for LSU.
I think a healthy never before injured Adam Miller would be a no brainer. He put up solid numbers as a freshman and played great defense. No one will convince me that Adam’s freshman year in Champaign was anything other than a success.
With his injury history though, I’m not sure he is worth a scholarship. I don’t want to tie up any more scholarships on injury-prone players. As others have said, I’ll just trust BU’s decision on this one.
He’s a high school man child. I don’t know how that transfers to college. He seems like one of those guys Wisconsin gets to post up on your wings to create match up problems.
