It was mentioned on another board and podcast that Roy Williams became a UCats donor and season ticket holder when Wes got the job. Pretty cool that Roy is that close to a former player that he would buy season tickets and make it a point to attend games in support. 

 

I think Old Roy can afford that lol. Very nice gesture by a first class gentleman. Wish Coach Miller best of luck, especially with the players. His UNCG teams played hard and bought in to his program....maybe the UC guys will too!

Mason Madsen has decided to come back as well...

If Miller gets Eason back, it is hard to imagine a better start for UC with this hiring.

Miller was in LA meeting with Tari and his mom yesterday. Looks like Mikey Saunders mom is also trying to recruit Eason back to UC:

If Eason comes back, is Harvey the only player from last years squad to transfer out?

Harvey (UC Santa Barbara) and Gabe Madsen (Utah)

Chris Vogt and Mamadou Diarra are both technically in the transfer portal as well but are utilizing the extra year of eligibility and have already graduated.

Should know today what Eason plans on doing. I believe returning to UC, staying home and playing for Washington, or LSU are the options.

Listened to the BCJ Podcast yesterday with Coach Miller. Gotta like what you're seeing and hearing from him so far if you're a UC fan.

Looks like Eason is going to LSU.

Wes Miller gets his first commit and potential replacement for Keith Williams:

 

[Walter]

Mike Roberts and Andre Morgan will join Wes Miller's staff. 

Roberts is currently the Assistant AD for Basketball Administration at Indiana. His coaching experience includes being an assistant coach at IU, UNCG, as well as stops at Rice and Cal. He got his start at Texas Tech under Bobby Knight as a GA after playing at IU. 

Morgan is currently at Middle Tennessee St after spending two seasons at UNCG with Miller. 

Dermarr Johnson interviewed with Wes yesterday so interested to see if he is added either as the 3rd assistant or in some sort of admin/support role. 

[Walter]

No mention of his role (assume Admin/support), but Chris Lepore will join Wes Miller's staff from UNCG. In  2018, LePore was named to the NABC Under Armour 30-Under-30 list that recognizes the top up-and-coming young assistant coaches in college basketball.
