I know many are wondering why Jalen has not been used. Last night my son saw him take off his red top after Geo got hurt. We thought he was going to come in but again he stayed on the bench. We had Paul and Jaden Jones at guard after McConnell was finally taken out. I just don't understand why we didn't try Jalen. Perhaps he could have really helped us on defense and perhaps he could speed us up getting the ball down the court. I thought it was at least worth a try. If Geo is to miss even one game or several we definitely will need another guard. I sure hope he at least gets a chance. Next year we will hopefully have him and Simpson both to run the point guard position. We do definitely need to add at least three more players next year who can shoot and score the basketball.
Jalen MIller

Perhaps the coaching staff has seen enough in practice to be convinced that he is not ready to contribute at this level.

How could he possibly contribute less Than the rest?
Would the point guards from NJiT, Merrimack, Lehigh and Lafayette play for us if they were on our team given our situation?

Rutgers need a spark and some energy on the defensive end. That last game had ZERO defensive intensity. Guys looked like they were moving in slow motion.
Pike needs to get Miller in the game asap. Our guard play is horrible and we need to give him a shot.
His school had games on YouTube. Just look at his ability.. Small, weak handle, not quick on offense, not much of a shooter, with little elevationon on his shot for a smaller guard. Hes not good. Fans will be disappointed again. Im very confident in this, he is not good
Don't know. Haven't seen him play. I am guessing no since he can't get on the court for this horrendous team.
6'3 isn't small for a PG, he looked pretty quick on the highlights. Maybe you're right, hopefully you're wrong.

Given that we are getting very little guard play overall on this team, it would be in their best interest to play him given the circumstances of how disappointing the first 5 games have turned out. It's not a perfect sample size but it does show there are guys that can pay off and play if given the chance where Jalen Miller was ranked and evaluated by the experts.
