Agreed on the first part about Trader. Miller as an athlete/wr is top tier. The only thing that doesn’t look elite but is still good would appear to be top end speed. His agility/cuts, ability to run naturally into open space and acceleration looks great. He doesn’t seem to pull away from players and appears more often than not to just hold his lead because of great acceleration. His 100m best his soph year was only 11.75. I don’t doubt that he is running much faster than that but it confirms what I see on tape, which is not a burner.Exactly. Trader is a much more explosive weapon than his usage at Chaminade would seem to indicate, but it's not like Miller is just running 9 routes. He's routinely making the first defender(s) miss on slants, WR screens, and hitches before exploding past everyone and making house calls as well as burning corners over the top with his vertical speed.
And my intent here isn't to downplay Trader. It's merely to emphasize just how massive a win it would be for us to land Miller over USC and LSU. Miller has the talent to be a legit, bonafide WR1 who gives us a caliber of weapon we haven't had athletically on the outside in the last decade other than freshman year Ahmmon Richards.
