Miller Out in Front

Darius Miller, Mason County's Spectacular Junior Forward, continues to attract alot of attention from the major schools and many consider him to be the number one class of 2008 prospect in the state of Kentucky. Here's what they're saying on the web ...


[ Excerpt of Mark Story kentucky.com sports Question and Answer Column]

" Question : Are we (UK) in a good position to sign Darius Miller? This is a guy we just can't let slip away... Your thoughts?

Answer : Doug, I agree with your assessment that Mason County's junior swingman Darius Miller is a huge recruit for UK.

Florida recently offered him. He's going to be a highly-coveted, national recruit ...

Best wishes, Mark Story

One of the most highly-touted prospects in the class of 2008 hails from Maysville, Kentucky. The four-star prospect from Mason County is 6-foot-6 small forward Darius Miller, who is rated as the No. 37 prospect in the '08 class and the nation's No. 8 small forward ... "
