Miller

Cribby said:
I've watched this cats film like 3-4 times and still can't get over his speed at 330 pounds. The way he plays looks like he's 260-270 pounds, shoots gaps and gets down field like a de. One of the most impressive big man athletes I've seen in awhile. Moving that nimble while looking like you're pregnant with triplets is just insane. His lower body looks like the prototypical type stump.

When I saw "2 /3 star former Ga Southern commit" I was like " here we go again , taking butt plugs 2.0 types like the Golden era". Boy how my jaw hit the floor when I hit the hudl.

I've been negative on the DL recruiting the last two years ( rightfully so) but I think we hit the sleeper lottery. Thank god he didn't hit camp circuit or we'd probably be even more f'd.

My question is with our pathetic DL numbers does he rs? Or getting in a college nutrition / s&c plan does he make enough of a jump to make the coaches have to play him?

I know he's strong but his technique looks raw.

Btw, if you haven't watched film I'd advise you to take a look.

Signing day notebook: Wait pays off for Sandalwood’s Miller

Jordan Miller was too big to slip through the cracks.

Miller, a 6-foot-3, 330-pound defensive tackle at Sandalwood, signed with Miami on Wednesday’s national signing day after committing to the Hurricanes late last month. A relative recruiting unknown much of the year, Miller is perhaps the top diamond in the rough recruiting story of 2018.

“It really is,” said Sandalwood coach Adam Geis. “He was just missed by a lot schools. It didn’t [surprise me] because I saw him play, saw how big he was. I figured when these coaches actually came in late in that late January haul, and saw how big he was, you can’t teach big. His highlight film was good, not great, but good. But you see him come of the ball a few times, then you see 330 and he’s got a 3.0 GPA, it’s almost a slam dunk.”

Miller’s path was a unique one. He played two seasons at Palatka and then transferred to Sandalwood before his senior season. Geis said that there was so little film available on Miller that he didn’t know what the Saints were getting. And Miller missed spring football entering his senior season after gall bladder surgery.

When he did get on the field, Miller was a force for the Saints (44 tackles, three sacks), but Geis said the interest was lean until late last year. He picked up an offer from Georgia Southern and newly named head coach Chad Lunsford and planned on signing with the Eagles. But Miller did an about-face and decided to make a bet on himself, roll the dice and hold out hope for further offers.

“Once I got Georgia Southern [to offer] and then trying to sign early, I decided to wait,” Miller said. “And I waited. I got kind of nervous.”

Those nerves didn’t last long for Miller and his parents, JC and Shareka Miller.

“We were worried [that no other offers would come], but we had to have faith in God that it’d work out for the best, said his father, JC. “He stuck it out.”

The wait paid off. Jeremy Pruitt showed interest in Miller when he was the defensive coordinator at Alabama, and later recruited him when he was hired at Tennessee. Florida Atlantic, Maryland and Virginia also entered the fray late.

But it was coach Mark Richt and the Hurricanes who sold Miller.

“I didn’t think I’d get anything else. I was kind of in limbo, Miller said. “Then I got that Miami offer and I said, ‘this is the right choice.’”

How awesome. This kid is a stud. He will be Ken Norton 2.0. Stoked we got him. Pops got eligibility? Dude looks raw
 
I think the staff sees him with the same potential for greatness as a 1tech as Nesta as a 3tech.

Our DTs: Willis (could **** hot or go crazy again at any moment), Ford, Nesta, Bethel (maybe we'll be forced to play him at DE?), Martin (looking like a bust), Miller.
5 DTs isn't enough.

He'll likely have to play unless Martin shows up/out and earns snaps. If Miller works too reform himself a bit on his own prior to Fall camp he could contribute this year.
 
Ppl were saying Nesta was a 1tech I never understood that. He is very athletic ones he drops a little baby fat and gets in the weight room he will be gooooood!
 
Mark Richt and Coach Kul will not go after a RECRUIT that isn't worthy of a UM offer.. Some RECRUITS just need to be developed, Miller is a kid that needs to be showed the weight-room and coached hard and he will pan out to be a very productive player!!

This dude is playing. Not much of a choice here. Starve his *** and have him lift all day every day.

5 DTs isn't enough. 6 really might not be either. We can't shirt him. We need to pray Willis can keep it together until mid-January 2019.

You’re forgetting the Illinois DT. We have six DTs. One more GT would be ideal.

I'm seeing an NFL talent here. Maybe I'm crazy. He needs to get less fat and stronger. If he can do that, I'm seeing a lot of promise.
