Message: [QUOTE="JLine, post: 3360095, member: 1683"] Certainly is a somewhat peculiar top 10, but I think he laid out a very well calculated list of schools. Each program brings something different to the table, with contrasting strengths, and weaknesses. Basically, it’s a really diverse list that allows him to get a sense of a substantial amount of the possible systems, coaching methods, and styles of play that are out there. He has a school from each P5 conference. Then the best program from a mid-major conference in college basketball, that is all but guaranteed a Tournament bid, and conference championship. Also, there’s a college from basically every region of the contiguous US, which could explain a couple odd selections that you wouldn’t expect. BC represents the Northeast, and New England. Arkansas covers the Deep South. UNC-G takes care of the East Coast. Gonzaga is a twofer, with the Northwest, and West Coast, since there’s no Cali school, while Zona is considered Southwest. I guess Minny is Midwest, though I personally think it’s a bit outside of that real midwestern way of life, which he already experienced, so makes sense to go with the Upper Midwest. Kid is giving himself a vast array of options. It will allow him to figure out the way of life that he prefers. Of course it’s doubtful that he visits all 10 of them, but he will still be provided with all the information necessary to get a good feel for what his experience will be like at each school. Smart kid. I think Gonzaga should have a great shot. He is the type of player that they typically look for, and Few has a great track record developing those kids. I’m sure UK will be in the mix, and it really is another good fit for both sides. Texas Tech could be one to look out for, especially if he wants to showcase his D, but I think he really wants a larger role on offense than he’s had, and doesn’t believe he has been utilized properly on that end. I guess Zona has a shot, but I’d stay away if I were him. As I don’t think Miller provides much of anything to benefit his game, and playing in the PAC-12 doesn’t give him the exposure he’s probably looking for. The Zags aren’t P5, and they’re buried out west too, but they play so many marquee games every year, and are an absolute lock for the tourney, so that would be my choice if I were him. [/QUOTE]
