Arizona is interested in Columbia grad transfer Mike Smith who avg 22pts

We need talent more than bodies. I don't want another role player that will end up no better than what Max was. This guy will not be as good as what Mark Lyons was. To me he doesn't look that quick and looks out of control a lot. Going from the Ivy League to the Pac 12 wont translate well for him, just ask UNC fans how 2 highly regarded grad transfers from small schools worked out for them this past season (Keeling, Pierce)

That's like seeing a guy that plays for a 1-A high school that averages 30 points a game going to a 6-A school expecting to play at the same level against better athletes and competition. I would rather just find a 3 star/low 4 star high school recruit that will be around 4 years

There does not seem to be much left of the 2020 class miller is only recruiting 2 guys.

Rivals is claiming this is a two-horse race between Arizona and Michigan

[Jdmarti]

Intersting.  Arizona does need some scoring on next years team an shooting  but we don't know how his game will translate from a mid major to Arizona.

I understand all of the points here, but who is to say that Miller is going to want him to do the same things if he comes here?

There are too many pieces left to be moved before we know what our roster is going to look like.
This kid could come in and shine for playing with several high-major pieces put around him.
Some of the time, it is not the prospect, it is the amount (or lack of) talent that is placed around him.

I agree mvpreed2   we don't  know what kind of a role Miller is looking for mike Smith to have  on team.

Bump...

Wow, Mike Smith just put up 18 points and 15 assists (B1G tourney record) against Maryland.  Kid can play!
