I don't believe it matters.
He goes to school in Arizona, so it wouldn't take much for him to make a few trips down the road for a handful of unofficial visits.

Well I stand corrected.
I get Prolific Prep and Hillcrest confused.
Even with that, I wouldn't put too much stock into not getting an OV.
Remember, KS committed here and he didn't even take an OV before his commitment.

I was worried we would not make nimari top 5 an I was right  I was hoping we had a shot with him  it's starting to get concerning with recruits dropping us off there list an alot of them are 5 stars.

No need to panic.  We have a Top-3 class in 2019 and a high-end recruit in 2020 that likely won't be a one-and-done.

Miller's recruiting strategy is slightly changing for the better.  Without the Top-10 kids, we can build stability within the program that allows development and experience to take us deep into the tourney.

The 5* kids will be going straight to the pros in a couple years, so I'd only worry if we're being beat on the recruiting trail by schools like assu, Colorado, etc.

As stated above Burnett does not have UofA on his final 5 list.

Glad we avoided Burnett.  If we continue to stay away from the non-local 5* kids, this team will gradually improve.

Burnett couldn't hit a jumper to save his life & he turned it over in garbage minutes (against bad opponents).  The kid can hit FT's and is a decent defender, so I'm sure somebody will snag him...based on potential/athleticism.

There is always hindsight to the situation.
Miller (to me) does not allow most of his players the freedom to "play their game" within his system.
Unless he is planning on sending them off to the NBA after the season, you can tell the ones that have a tighter rope than others.
On this team, Terry HAD that luxury, but Mathurin took it from him.
Now, almost any bad mistake Terry makes, he is off the floor on the next dead ball.
