I don't think anyone on here is expecting Miller to be a 20 point a night type of player. But I think most on here feel he would be a great option off the bench and like everyone on the team, he will be given the opportunity to earn playing time and/or a starting position in practice and how they play.

People like to dream big. Hard to get excited about a guy who has flat lined his production as a freshman for 3 years. You pray he had terrible coaches and it’ll all fall into place this year.

Other than that, people can get excited about a bench role for him when it’s obvious he will be pushed to the bench, which it’s not yet obvious.

Does anyone know the schools involved with Cedric Coward? I like what he could be in the offense but I’m guessing he will end up somewhere out West. Washington seems to have a good NIL budget this offseason too

Frankie begs to differ. EDG’s all over the place. Tony Wysinger, Doug Altenbuger, Marcus Griffin, Sergio McClain, Damonte, DJ Richardson, Brian Cook, etc…..they were all busts!!!! Sorry for those I’m leaving off during my time but that’s just off memory.

If he can knock down the open 3 and guard on the perimeter it's a huge win. We had no person on the team last year that could consistently do just those two things.

I don't think Adam Miller would be a starter on next years team....but I would expect him to be a very good backup and challenge KB and others for PT...having someone of this caliber can only help the team, especially in practice....AM was a pretty good defender his first go around here and having him and KB going against each other in practice will make them both better

I hate it when we have players from Central Illinois on our team. Never worked in the past. And 3s and tough defense off the bench? No thanks.

What? The Manual Rams players plus many others. Frank Wiiliams, griffin, McLean. Damonte, Ravonte Rice, Boz, Meyers, and others we missed on some studs from Normal.

I think you must be joking.

Underwood would have to be 100% bought in for Adam Miller to return and I’m not sure that has happened yet. Possible but not done.

It would also have to make sense money wise. Miller isn’t a facilitator or a top level scorer, so they would still need two more additions to the backcourt. That costs $.

Adam Miller coming back is fine, but we shouldn't place our hopes in the kid to suddenly becoming a 20-point a night guy.

I agree with this. I just have a hard time believing that he would come here and be happy with a bench role..... Let's not forget he already started every game on a 1 seed Illinois team. I just think that's asking for a lot of maturity from a young man and I'm sure they are going to recruit over him shortly.... Does he know that? I'm sure he has an idea but when it actually happens can't imagine he'll like it.

Ben was a swing and a miss in recruiting. He's good when he gets on a streak, but those are few and far between. He can't play defense and doesn't rebound well. Remember when Brad castigated everyone for criticizing Ben, saying that if you're criticizing him, you just don't know what they're trying to do. The fact that what they were trying to do wasn't scoring points seemed not to matter. Ben needs to transfer to a mid-major and be a hero. Miller would be a great replacement for him, and I would wish Ben well wherever he ends up.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT !!! (Sirens wailing and red light flashing everywhere!) All posters (well not all, but the number is quite alarming!) need to read the following:

sarcasm /sär′kăz″əm/

noun​

  1. A cutting, often ironic remark intended to express contempt or ridicule.
  2. A form of wit characterized by the use of such remarks.
    "detected a hint of sarcasm in his voice."
  3. A keen, reproachful expression; a satirical remark uttered with some degree of scorn or contempt; a taunt; a gibe; a cutting jest.
  4. For the properly aware reader, and experienced Illinois Loyalty members, a /s keyboard symbol is not necessary or required.
After reading please go about your day with your newly heightened sense of awareness!
