ap2345 Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 Mason Miller who is the son of Mike Miller has been receiving interest from IU. Rabby just put an article up saying how he has serious interest in IU and he likes Archie and Ostrom. Rumor had it a while back that his dad doesn’t want him to go to Memphis. Could be an interesting recruitment to follow moving forward. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app HoosierDYT, Stuhoo, Crimson and Cream and 1 other 4 Quote
AKHoosier Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 I see him listed as 6'7" and 6'9", just short of 200 lbs. My hope is that he could be a power forward, however I don't see how he would be an option if we land Kaufman first. Quote

My hope is that he could be a power forward, however I don't see how he would be an option if we land Kaufman first.Why? IU will likely need another F/C to go with Duncomb and Kaufman. Brunk and TJD will likely be gone and Thompson will be a senior. He’s currently a 6’9 PF that needs to gain weight. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
mdn82 Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 I would be shocked if he can’t shoot. Sign me up at that size. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners WayneFleekHoosier, ElectricBoogaloo and Stuhoo 3 Quote

HoosierAloha Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 He’d be a great stretch 4 somewhere in the Big East, $EC, or Big 12. I don’t see him gaining enough weight to play the 4 in the Big Ten. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

It just might take a couple years. Not every kid we bring in need to have the expectations of playing year one. Gordon Hayward was even smaller than this kid coming out into college. That seemed to work out pretty good. HoosierAloha 1 Quote

Popular Post Class of '66 Old Fart Posted May 3, 2020 Popular Post Posted May 3, 2020 Alec Lasley - Indiana has already landed one big man in the 2021 class but with the expected minutes available in the frontcourt, Archie Miller continues to actively seek out potential replacements. While he hasn't received an offer yet, Mason Miller is one name that is high on Indiana's list. The son of former NBA player and current University of Memphis assistant coach Mike Miller, both father and son have been open about seeing Mason play elsewhere if the opportunity suits their needs. After having a breakout sophomore summer and following it up with a good junior year, Miller has become a name on the national spotlight. With the game evolving to stretch forwards, Miller's game is exactly that. At 6-foot-9, he has a great ability to shoot from the perimeter. A lefty, Miller has good form that allows him to get his shot off with little room because of his elevation. His shooting headlines his skillset but his developed driving and slashing ability has opened up his game over the past year. Miller has advanced ball handling skills for someone of his size which allows him to beat defenders off of the dribble and get into the middle of the lane. What Miller has really progressed in is adjusting to defenses in the paint. Whether it is a pull-up floater or using his length with scoop shots or hook shots, once he gets in the paint he is difficult to stop. Extremely athletic, Miller can play above the rim and finish around defenders with his length. Obviously his frame is what is noticeable with his lack of muscle, but that rarely impacts his game. Miller is not someone who is going to play on the block and post up defenders on possessions. On the glass, Miller uses his length instead of his body to be a force. Off of a rebound, his ball skills give him the ability to lead the break while still having good decision making skills. Overall, Miller's versatile skillset allows him to play multiple positions without losing a competitive advantage. His length and quick footwork will allow him to adjust to the college game easier than a lot of other 6-foot-9 wings. If he were to play in the Big Ten, he may progress more as a big '3' than a '4' as his main position with the physicality of the conference. Miller is ranked the No. 65 prospect in the 2021 class.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app I'm thinking this has been brewing for quite some time and why Memphis hasn't been an odds on favorite in Mason's recruitment. Hopefully, it's not an indication that a family member has health issues (not necessarily COVID-19 related) that necessitate this decision. Or maybe Mike doesn't like what he sees going on with the Memphis program. Just a thought. lillurk and mdn82 2 Quote

That is really, really, super-incredibly bad news for Penny and Memphis. Everything I have read about that program has made it clear that Miller was the primary reason players thought the program would be legit. lillurk 1 Quote
