Brandon Miller, elite small forward, cuts list to 4
The No. 19 overall player in the Class of 2022 On3 100, Brandon Miller told On3 he is down to four options.
The 6-foot-8 small forward from Cane Ridge (Tenn.) High School has cut his list down to two colleges: Tennessee State and Alabama and two pro routes: the NBA G-League and the NBL. Miller is no longer considering Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, or Kansas.
Brandon Miller has taken official visits to both Alabama and Tennessee State.
Miller discussed the two schools involved in a previous interview with On3.

“I love Coach (Nate) Oats,” Brandon Miller said. “He’s a good guy, outside of basketball, too. He also laughs and jokes with his players. The rest of the coaching staff is pretty cool, too. That visit I liked because they have nice facilities. It was just a good visit overall.”

“It would definitely be different than others because it’s an HBCU,” Brandon Miller said. “I know they have a good coaching staff over there because coach Penny (Collins) is one of my cousins. I know a lot of people who came out of TSU – Robert Covington – and you see where he’s at now. That just lets you know anything can be done.”
Tennessee State is the local team for Miller, and it’s only about a 15-minute drive from his home.
It is somewhat shocking to see Miller no longer consider Tennessee, another in-state program pushing hard for the talented forward. Miller planned on being in Knoxville on September 10th for his second official visit to see the Vols. Obviously, something changed between now and then, as Tennessee is no longer in contention.
