Brandon Miller, a 6-foot-8 small forward out of Antioch (Tenn.) Cane Ridge has postponed his commitment, he tells On3.

Miller was expected to decide on Sept. 27 at 12:00pm CT. The finalists are Alabama, Tennessee State, the NBL, and the NBA G-League.

Miller told On3 that he will probably announce in October, but says he’s still unsure.

Brandon Miller doesn’t comment much on the pro options, but he did discuss the two colleges on his list in a previous interview with On3.

Miller on Alabama

“I love Coach (Nate) Oats,” 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.”

Recently, Brandon Miller and his family hosted head coach Nate Oats and assistant coach Bryan Hodgson for an in-home visit.

Miller took an official visit to Alabama on June 16th, and he’s planning on going back to Tuscaloosa for a second official visit on September 25th.

Darrell Miller, Brandon’s father, played tight end at Alabama in the early 90s.

Tennessee State

Tennessee State is the definition of ‘hometown school’ for Miller, as it’s only a 15-minute drive away.

“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.”

Miller has visited the campus at Tennessee State officially and unofficially.
