No tournament but now that he's finally used up his eligibility in basketball, and will be finishing his J.D., he's probably going to get a football scholarship so he can get his M.D.
That would be awesome! He can certainly play TE for Shane and we can meet up in a bowl game again next year!
Now that’s how you game the system.
In all seriousness, getting a J.D. on a basketball scholarship is such a boss move. I do wonder if anyone has gone one further and gotten an M.D., or at least completed a year or two of medical school on an athletic scholarship. Also very curious as to what BBV does next.Now that’s how you game the system.
Adam Miller wasn't content being a role playing starter on a great team so he went along and was a role playing starter on lousy teams. Wasted his college career being a traveler and will now not be "forever home" anywhere other than Peoria.

Pretty sure JCL did all that at least twice.

He is, but he also uses his MD to perform surgery in his spare time.

Corporate associate in Sidley's Chicago office.
Nice good for him! Better salary than most players who go play abroad.
Congratulations to him, bright young man and I expect he will have an excellent legal career. Being both a D1 law student while going through 1L is a big challenge that he clearly overcame with flying colors.

Yes, I remember him! Really impressive. The guy is a pediatric neurosurgeon now. Just insane to be that exceptional as both an athlete and a scholar.

Not quite the same but pretty impressive anyway.
Dr. Myron Rolle’s journey from NFL player to neurosurgeon
Remember the star Florida State football player Myron Rolle, who decided to postpone entering the NFL Draft to pursue a Rhodes Scholarship?

He was very athletic, good shot, good size for G at 6'4" and had reasonable handles. Did not really improve in college - not sure how much knee injury cost him. Would have been interesting if he had played 4 years at Illinois like Coleman. TSJ improved jump shot. Dain really improved body.
He could have been 4 year starter.
2022 knee injury
2023 - TSJ, Coleman, Dain, Adam (instead of Skyy/Jayden)
2024 - TSJ, Coleman, Marcus, Quincy, Adam (instead of Ty)
2025 - Kylan, Tomas, Tre, Morez, Adam (instead of KJ)

Yes, but… don’t lose to last place Colorado and you avoid giving the committee additional reason to appease their chairman boss.

The NC pick reeks of conflict of interest, but as others have said, win another game and it probably doesn't happen.

Right, SDSU would have gotten the shaft in that case.
