Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

New Hampton School rising senior forward Jeremy Miller re-opened his recruitment on Thursday night after having previously committed to Boston College earlier this winter. His initial commitment came under former head coach Steve Donahue but Miller appeared intent to remain on board when Jim Christian was hired to take over the program last month. Now, things have apparently changed as ESPN’s Jeff Goodman first reported Miller’s decision on Friday evening. Miller is a long and skilled face-up big man who excels at stretching opposing defenses out to the three-point line.

Top 10 Player from the Commonwealth (Class of 2015)

5. Jeremy Miller- Milton Mass- New Hampton

Former Boston College verbal commit Jeremy Miller has sky-high potential. This 6'9" product out of Milton, Massachusetts plays his high school ball at New Hampton. After a coaching change at BC, Miller reopened his recruitment. The front-runners are currently Xavier, Florida, and still BC. Miller has the potential to be a lethal big man at the next level. His powerful moves to the hoop are easily the best on this list and maybe some of the best in the country.

I could believe that. I haven't come across anyone else collaborating Miller's top 3 although I do know that Temple recently offered. I am curious why you believe he wouldn't fit in the plans of X given X is recruiting Ahmad & Morgan. They're both 4* PF's like Miller right?

I actually don't believe they are actively recruiting those other 2 as well. I think they are looking at maybe a combo forward, more of a lengthy 3 (Kipper Nichols) and maybe a true center that probably will take a year or two to develop (Tacko Fall, Seth Dugan, etc.). I honestly don't think the staff is recruiting that hard in 2015 in general as they don't have any needs due to a large 2014 class and they think there is a lot more talent in 2016 (just speculation really).
