Basketball Jalen Miller in the Portal
- Thread starter dpwhite
- Start date
Cam was an all conference level Patriot league player. Nobody is saying he would be that. Think about the year we filled our roster with Agee. We were thin up front, had an opening and added him to the team. Now picture a UMBC type team in the same position but thin at guard. This is a kid with proven ability to play BIG level defense. That alone will get him on a roster somewhere.

How many times can you **** on the kid in one thread?. Jesus. Just wish him well and move on.
Good luck Jalen. Always considered you a solid contributor and teammate, giving your best effort.
Kid will definitely play if he goes to a lower level D1 school. Patriot type league.
You never know what could happen. He can play. Personally, I would not rule out seeing him go someplace at the same level and succeeding. Different situations often yield different results. And it doesn't hurt that he's apparently a super kid ("kid," ha ha, he's a grown-*** man who could kick my you-know-what).
Good luck Jalen...
Good luck Jalen...
All the best to Jalen.
I know it's not a happy day for Mawot. Jalen is Mawot's best friend on the team.

Best of Luck... be sure to pick someplace that serves your EDUCATION
BTW.. is this a sign that Paul and Cam are returning? Do we know? Did I miss that?

I don't think anyone believes Cam is leaving. Paul is a little more up in the air.
Jalen could most certainly put the glove on my game…even with my new goggles. It’s amazing how short he looks in BigTen games because he isn’t that short. Best of luck to him.
Best of luck to Jalen.
On one hand it looks like Pike was the only one to believe and give him as a shot at the high major level so that’s the positive aspect of the situation.
On the other it must suck to have to transfer and make new friends get acclimated in a new school, system etc.
Sorry it didn’t work for 4 years here.
Seems like a good kid played hard and unselfishly burned his redshirt.

hmmm.. hope another Big Ten team doesn't take him to learn how Pike teaches his D.
Is this a thing?
Are B1G coaches using ships to gain trade secrets they can’t see on film?
Would be surprising.
Good luck Jalen ! you had some pretty good defensive moments when you got playing time. I hope you can replicate that or even more somewhere else. Thank you for your time !!
I really thank him for burning a year of eligibility for us last year. Our season turned around last year when Pike started to emphasize defense and reduce from the rotation guys that didn’t. Miller was a part of that turn around. We all remember the picture of him at the Purdue game playing D
I will root for him more than any recent transfer. He is my kind of guy.
If I’m fact he does transfer. Going to the portal doesn’t mean transferring. Good be gauging interest.

I still trust Pike. Jalen practiced hard, contributed to team and was a valuable member of the team. I don't blame his dad or anyone else for giving you a hard time about that comment.I'm guessing it was Jalen's dad, who inboxed me a few weeks ago. He was bothered that I said we need to make better use of our scholarships, and I mentioned Jalen's name in the comment
Best of luck and thank you/appreciation to Jalen
Best of luck to Jalen. He was a true team player who always gave 100 % on and off the court. All of our guys were so much pulling for the team. We have great chemistry. I see it up close at every practice I attend. I think most felt he would enter the portal. I think he realized that Simpson was ahead of him and Jamichael Davis a PG coming in next fall is supposed to be pretty good as well.
This is my sentiment as well. He has the physical tools and the desire to succeed, and puts in the type of effort that any coach will love.
I get the sense that in the right environment, his complete talents, including on offense, will be unlocked and he will be a regular contributor on the D1 level.
He needs to find a team whose coaches will encourage him to shoot whenever he has a good look, and not worry about deferring to others even when he’s wide open.
As I said in a text to some friends today, thanks to Jalen for all his hard work and efforts and good luck in the NEC. Seemed like a very likable kid, but just not enough offensive talent to get much PT here. Would be surprised if he's the only one headed to the portal...
Jalen was also a very nice young man. Always took the time to say thank you to fans. Very mature kid. Terrific family as well as his parents were at many home games. Best of luck!
If you are seeing the court in the big ten low d1 will have interest and even perhaps mid major programs
I’m 95 percent sure he will land on D1 roster.

Same here. And I'd love to see him go somewhere where they'll be able to work with him to improve his shooting so that he can be a bigger part of the offense.... I hope he has a lot of success wherever he ends up playing.
If I was Jalen and his family, I would aim for George Mason University. That's a very nice school, beautiful campus, good environment and area. Close to where he's from. Good basketball program. With Kim English now at Providence, it may be more realistic. George Mason is a nice school
