BREAKING: 2024 4-Star G Vyctorius Miller has COMMITTED to Matt McMahon and #LSU. The 6-5 SG was originally committed to Oregon before decommitting. He’s ranked #41 in the ESPN100.


https://x.com/lsu_capital/status/1774212290616668318?s=46&t=3QDMCHAJCMF-NKyDbhGuZg

Decommitted from Oregon yesterday.

Would be a huge get. He can be our elite scorer

quote:

Miller is a 6-foot-5 shooting guard that is wired to score the basketball. Every time Miller touches the ball he is looking to put the ball in the hole and when his shots are falling, he makes for one of the top scorers in the class. He has advanced ball skills and footwork for the position and has the ability to make shots from mid-range and out to three. With his scoring package and his threat to put the ball in the hole, there is upside for Miller to continue growing and developing as a playmaker. Miller is an impressive talent but does have areas to improve in regards to getting stronger, improving his decision making and expanding his impact beyond the points column. Ultimately, with time and development, Miller can become a multi-year college starter that can be relied on as a primary scoring option for a high major team.

Vyctorius and CG3 would also be an NIL combo made in heaven.

If he signs, it will be McMahon’s 6th top 100 recruit…which is the same amount as Wade signed in his first three seasons.

I know everyone wants to blame the players to absolve McMahon of any criticism. But I think you could make a very strong argument that the recruiting hasn’t been the biggest issue. It’s the coaching

Vyctorius Miller is the nephew of rapper Master P. He’s also the son of Vyshon Miller, who is better known as Silkk the Shocker, a multiplatinum artist who thrived with No Limit Records. Vyctorius Miller grabbed national headlines when he signed a NIL deal with Under Armour in February 2023 to promote the shoemaker’s new Spawn 5 Carnival Pack sneaker. Originally from North Hollywood, California, Miller played his junior season at Arizona’s Compass Prep. Because the school is not a member of the Arizona Interscholastic Association, he does not have to follow the governing body’s NIL policy, which prohibits athletes from profiting from their publicity rights. Miller describes himself as the ultimate team player. “I make plays for my team, try to get my teammates going,” Miller told On3’s Jamie Shaw. “I watch a lot of the big guards, Shai Gilgeous Alexander and Cade Cunningham. They can facilitate, get to their spots easily, and get buckets.” During the UAA Next Emerson stop in November 2022, Miller averaged 14.3 points and four assists playing with the West Coast Elite program. Miller went on a dominant tear in his sophomore season, averaging 20 points, five rebounds and four assists a game to lead Irvine Crean Lutheran to the CIF Southern Section Open Division playoffs in 2021.

Didn’t realize he was Master P’s nephew so some family ties to Louisiana.

JFC. You are a total wet towel. And you probably know the difference between top 20 talent and top 80 talent.

Chest just being inside the Top 100 on 247 (not on3 composite), but not sure we should really count a kid that actually got redshirted for god knows what reason.

McMahon's players have all been in that 60-100 range except for Ward who was borderline 5-star. Wade's first 3 classes included 3 5-stars and that doesnt include Smart who was a borderline 5-star similar to Ward as well as Darius Days and Tremont Waters.

I guess we will see what early returns McMahon gets on Givens and Miller but Wade basically hit the jackpot on ALL his Top 100 players:

Waters
Smart
Days
Williams
Watford
Reid

All those guys played significantly big and very good roles by year 2 as well, with some (most really) of them playing big roles in year 1 and looking really good.

I think there's a pretty large difference there in the recruiting, also, consider 5 out of 6 of those came in classes 1 and 2 for Wade, Watford was the only year 3 player of that Top 100 group.

You could very easily argue not a single one of McMahon's Top 100 players have lived up to even the worst of that Wade group thus far, but it has only been 2 years. Unless Ward make a significant jump this upcoming season I'm not exactly sure that changes by the end of year 3 though. I dont see how this is a comparison at all. McMahon has gotten mostly 60-100 range kids and spread them out fairly evenly over 3 different classes thus far. Miller at least would give him 3 kids ranked in 60-80ish range in 1 class which makes things look better. He does need to get these guys developed though, and faster than in 3 years.

Why? I’m giving McMahon CREDIT for his HS recruiting. But I guess that was wrong and he actually can’t recruit. Even though his HS classes have been comparable to programs like Houston and Purdue

BS. Not going to waste time on a nut gobbler like you in a thread celebrating great news for LSU, clearly a school you don't care about.

What are you talking about?

Chest, Miller, Miller, Givens haven’t even played at LSU

Otherwise you’ve had Reed and Ward. Reed and Ward were major players into turning us into a postseason squad in year 2 during a total rebuild.

We need at least one pretty good big, otherwise we have a very nice core moving into next year. We have every reason to be excited and frick people who want to keep hating on the program

Butt, a lot of these basketball posters can’t wait to say I told you so. They say they want lsu to do well but when they start to frame negative outcomes before they even happen, you know they are lying
