Shonn Miller (Ivy Transfer)

[knightfan88]

Shonn Miller has been a stud in the Ivy League for Cornell. Has 1 year of eligibility left due to them not allowing graduate students in the Ivy. What do you think about him for Rutgers?

if we have a schollie we should try for him. He is probably a very intelligent on the court player that can help with Eddie's offense.

but...

With a Cornell degree does he try for a Northwestern or Stanford for graduate school?

We had targeted a Corner transfer last spring - sophomore shooter Nolan Cressler. He ultimately signed with Vanderbilt.

Guys with 1 year left generally want to be somewhere they can win and play in the NCAAs. So why would he come here?

The secondary recruiting market is so competitive - even the elite schools look for transfers from schools like Tennessee State, Rice and Cornell.

A Cornell grad may not be the typical 5th year transfer. If allowed he would probably stay at Cornell. With a talented Ivy kid he may be looking for a chance to display his skills to pro coaches but at the same time get a quality graduate degree from a quality University. Playing in the B10 may allow him to display his skills against top competition for scouts. Since he is coming from a top school he may be looking for a top graduate program. The kid last year chose Vandy (a top private school in the ACC). In the B10 you have Michigan and Rutgers that are good Public Universities. The only private is Northwestern. Not sure who is recruiting him but he can't go wrong with any of the 3.

As an Ivy grad, he may be more concerned about finding the right grad program for him than making the NCAAs or going to the NBA. If that is the case, perhaps RU has what he's looking for.

My guess is he will look at a school that matches his major that has a chance to go to the NCAAs

He refuses to discuss it until the season is over

16pts and 8rebs a game.....he could help plenty of teams

The B1G is full of good public universities. Different systems will rank universities differently, but most rankings will have Michigan and Wisconsin at the top of the B1G publics.

Rutgers problem is they have nothing to sell regardless if the player is a senior in high school or a transfer with one year of eligibility.The bottom line is such players have more attractive options in selecting a school.

Bump.

I hope we've reached out.

That's what the coaches job is. To sell himself. He's not excelling at that.
