Keaton Miles to West Virginia

[tropicalshox]

WVU lands another guard and by my count are out of for sure scholarships (but don't hold me to it). They had five openings projected. I know they have at least four verbals and they had another back June. I'm not for sure if he is still committed.

I have no complaints if one of the schools took themselves out of the running :D

Have I mentioned I'd be really happy with this kid?

I tried to check on how many scholarships Penn State has left. They have four commits, one being 6-7 Ross Travis. He is a high school teammate of Jake White. There isn't enough internet interest in Penn State basketball to figure out how many openings they are projected to have.

PS Take note Keaton.

You give me more hope that Keaton may be the one. Who knows until he announces, but it appears promising. It'd be nice to be done with '11 and move most of the focus to '12 with the five openings we'll have.

A 6-7 guy that can ACTUALLY play SF in the MVC would be fantastic!!! If we wrap him up, then we just stay in the mix on a couple of juco PF to be on the safe side and then bring in Perry Ellis and his City League buddies for 2012!

hope this works out for the Shox, sounds to me like a 6'7" version of Jamar Howard, but with a higher BBall IQ and better offensive skills. That would make for a nice weapon at the SF spot. Make that move Keaton!

Any word on when an announcement might be made by Mr. Miles? I'm getting a bit antsy and would love for him to finish out the class.

Found this in a WV paper dated yesterday (probably for today's edition). It was an article about their recent commits.

But Huggins and his staff apparently aren't done. Expect another commitment. Today.

The other announcement is expected to come from Keaton Miles, a 6-7 small forward from Dallas. He too received many offers, including those from Arkansas, Baylor and Oklahoma State.

I've read some other things that say one of their commits may be going the prep route. And Huggy has been known to over-commit.

And I found this on WVIllustrated from yesterday:

McCune , committed guard Jabarie Hinds (Mount Vernon, N.Y.) and forward Pat Forsythe joined small forward Keaton Miles on his official visit to Morgantown this past weekend and the three discussed what it would be like if they were to all play on the same team next year.

McCune, of course, needed no convincing since he pledged to join WVU in August. It was Forsythe, Hinds and Miles who needed to be certain. Forsythe committed Monday and Hinds pulled the trigger on his commitment Tuesday. Hinds says discussions of national championships took place over the weekend as well as an understanding that he and Miles would very much like to be playing for the same team when they achieve that mutual goal.

Thanks Royal. I guess we'll have answers before I leave work.

I assume #59 is Miles.

If so, whoa!

I wonder what his vertical is?
