Right, but Dayton didn't offer to KW, and they wouldn't today. There is a reason why players like Sam do not fit in with whatever the heck it is Dayton coaches are trying to accomplish. Everything about this program stinks of running a post player over 6'8 right out of the program. If I was over 6'7 I would refuse to entertain an offer from UD, as the program has proven over and over again, that it has no desire to develop post play as an emphasis. That is one of the things that really hold the program back.
Kavanaugh's 5th year was a backwards arse accident. UD backed their way into it! Illegitimately I might ad!
KW wouldn't even be recruited by UD coming out of high school today. Wasn't he a walk-on first? And that was back when UD had very little success leading up to that time. He wouldn't get a sniff today...there goes 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds.
Big Steve, God love him and bless him, was a good player, and took up space on the defensive end; but nevertheless, UD doesn't allow for his kind of offensive sets to develop. This current team would be lapping him on the way back down the court; and not necessarily to or resulting to the good.
Sam Miller, like Kurt H, and Alex Gavrilovich, and Matt Kavs, were all capable post players, but UD thinks they are UNLV and Loyola Marymount of the 1990's. Here is a clue...they ARENT! This program breaks-out in hives if you mention a post/entry pass.
There is no sense in giving scholarships to players you never intend to utilize or develop.
Supporters of the program come on the post game radio show to bring this concern to the front; but only to get shot down by a particular former player and part-time storm chaser (and I say that kidding like). My point is, this is the real thing holding UD basketball back; and until someone addresses this hole in the program, well, you know.
The Greene County Deputies were guilty of putting Miller in the cell with a mole, and they ffffing know it. Bad judgment by miller, but he is not the only one who exasperated the situation; as he was put in that cell with that right wrong other person on purpose. The greene county deputies thought they were being funny wisecrackers.
Best wishes to Sam at C of C.
