If Miles shows he can compete basketball wise and hold his own against Jones early on, his weight may not matter that much. The guy is a proven shot blocker (I think he shattered the Kentucky HS tourney record w/ 15). As far as him getting it done in the BE, think of Tariq Owens for SJU. That guy was/is a string bean but still was very effective. He is having an outstanding year protecting the rim at TTU.....83 blocks and counting. If all goes well, we get some Owens defensively with some Paul Reed bball IQ!

And I think that's why there is talk of him redshirting. He can probably hold his own shot blocking. But can he contribute in any way on the offensive end? Does he have any low post moves (that will work against legitimate D1 talent)? Can he pick up on X's defensive scheme?
I just don't see him getting enough minutes after Jones, Freemantle, and Ramsey to justify burning his redshirt. That being said. I've only seen clips of him so what do I know?

How quickly we forget; DBrown springs to mind; without using dirty words Keith Waleskowski is good example. Sometimes it's a matter of team's needs to allow a player who has upside but will not likely see minutes as FR; also gets effective head start on next recruiting class. As for strategy, this has been ongoing since redshirts were invented--even more so in football-- at least 40 years ago.
I have seen only two great plays: Hamlet and put the ball into the basket

All those questions will be answered in the weeks leading up to the start of the season. If he can effectively guard and score on Tyrique and whatever transfer big we end up with, a redshirt may not be warranted.
Of course getting some balance to the next 2 classes is another issue entirely. For that reason I think Ramsey could be a redshirt option. By all accounts he is pretty raw, especially scoring wise.Last edited by Xuperman; 03-24-2019 at 10:45 AM.

Miles could also be a junior in high school, so him redshirting is probably a really good idea.
