From stuff from earlier in this thread:
- He is rated as a DE.
- He is, however, naturally a DT.
- Tennessee is getting ahead because they are willing to let him play that Heavy End position that Red Bryant, DE for the Seattle Seahawks plays.
- I think he would verbal to USC or Clemson the second they offer at DE. So theres always the threat of the Santosing.
"My family and I are coming up on Friday for the visit," Miller said. "Coach Thigpen came by earlier this week and I have spoken with coach Jones on the phone. They seem excited to have me coming up there."
"I feel in love with Tennessee when I camped there the first time when I was in 9th grade," Miller offered. "I have just always felt comfortable there and have felt like it was the right place for me."
"The new staff actually offered back in December," Miller said. "Their move to a 4-3 defense opened up the opportunity for me. With the 3-4 scheme they had last year, they wanted taller, thicker defensive ends. Now they want defensive ends who are pass rushers and that style of play fits my game."
"I guess it's possible that I could commit," Miller said. "I have been really comfortable with Tennessee for a while. I have to be comfortable with the new staff which will be my focus this weekend and they have to be comfortable with me so we will see. I'm excited get up there."
If this guy commits, does that mean our chances with Bellamy are slim?
I'm guessing it has nothing to do with Bellamy and that the staff would take both if Bellamy wanted to come as well.
Does this kid have any grade issues? You'd think w/ that size & the stats he put up his Senior season he'd have a few more high profile schools really pushing for him.
If he signs w/ Tennessee & is eligible it will be a GREAT pick up.
No clue why neither South Carolina or Clemson ever got involved with this guy. The question was asked to the SC 'insiders' quite a few times back in the summer and the answer (on the Carolina side) was simply that the coaches weren't interested and liked other players better. Never saw that elaborated. His film looks pretty good.
