Many threads on him tonight after another dominant performance, but lets break it down.... How can you not root for a young man who is involved in every off the court function we ever see as well as a scholar majoring in a very vigorous major. He epitomizes the type of athlete that Rutgers should strive to acquire.
Myles the Monster

I just hope that we have him for another two full seasons. If his development continues, we may lose him to the pros after next year. Hopefully he's loving his time at school, doesn't want to leave early and gives us another 2.5 yrs of dominance in the paint (which is something we have not seen in these parts in a very long time).
Seems pretty focused on academics, and the NBA seems to need everyone to be able to shoot a little these days.
Good point on the necessity to shoot the ball. If Myles can shoot at a decent clip from 5-10 feet out, he's going to be unstoppable.
In terms of academics, in theory he could graduate in 2021, but maybe he wants to tack on a masters. I don't see him as the type who would leave without his degree in place.

A lot of teams have 4 of the 5 who can shoot. A guy who can rebound, D, and score down low still has a job in the NBA. t would be great for Myles if he can be one of those guys.
This is correct. Needs to shoot at least 65-70% from the line and get some kind of mid range game for him to stick in the pros
If he was not such a serious student you could think this. But, he is the the true student/athlete. RU is not UNC where athletes take make believe courses or major in playground management.
Cannot imagine him leaving without that diploma.
Miles did have a great game yesterday! His presence in the paint, commitment to the loose ball and rebounding are all things that coaches and fans love.
Nebraska did nothing but let him play the best game he has last night. He had really no responsibility on D outside some play from a project freshman Nebraska had down low.
Miles is likely to continue to destroy teams that do not have a big man to extend him, ie a big man with a jumper in his game and/or someone fighting him on the glass.
It is amazing how much he has improved, he is my favorite Scarlet Knight on this team.

He might be a first rounder by senior year even with the low ft%. If he magically fixed that, he'd have top 5 pick potential. This guy is smooth
Myles has been in beast mode for a while now. I’m very much looking forward to seeing how he performs against some of the more highly touted B1G bigs.
Watching his growth and development on the court has been great. The coaching staff deserves some credit for getting him here too, and he seems to be really picking things up to where they come naturally and his instincts are kicking in as needed. If his progression continues, he has a really high ceiling.
Didn't realize they called him the Monster. I've been calling him The BEAST and begging RU to feed THE BEAST!!
