At 6’3, Miller has great size for his position and his ability to finish with either hand in the paint makes him a constant threat.  When asked about his game, Miller said “My strengths are being a good leader on the court and controlling the pace of the game.  Also, being able to score at will and being able to set my teammates up to score.”  Miller is an active defender, using his length and athleticism to get steals and blocks.  Coaches are starting to take notice of Miller’s abilities.   Head Coach John Sparks said this about Miller “Michael is a very coachable player with a high IQ that plays extremely hard, he is always wanting to learn and get better at the game of basketball.  He has gotten stronger and more athletic since being here and will only get better at his next school.”

We have a lot of 6'3' JUCO guards now.

Two is a lot?

Also, by my count this means someone in addition to Combs is gone. 

6 signees (Smart, Arikawe, Tikhonenko, Simmons, Gibson, and Miller) plus 8 players from last year's team with eligibility left (Temara, White-Pittman, Holston, Fuller, Brice, Brown, Lawson, and Woolridge) would put us at 14 scholarships which is one more than we are allowed. Looks like someone else is gone.

Two and they are looking at a third who is either 6-2 or 6-3. That's quite a few compared to past years.

Smart, Miller, and Woolridge are all listed at 6-3.
