Darius Miller makes first cut for USA World University Games
21 players started out in training camp, but only 14 remain to make the roster for the USA World University Games. And one of those names is Darius Miller. The UK senior will still need to make one more cut to make the final roster, but things are looking bright for Miller. Only 2 more players will be cut before the final 12 guys will travel to China in mid-August for the games. Their first game is against Mexico on August 13th. The team is coached by Purdue's Matt Painter.
Below you will see the 21 guys who were training, and while final confirmation of which 7 were cut has not been released on the USA website, both Larry Vaught and Matt confirm that Miller made the cut. Congrats Darius, and
