Brandon Miller - Best Bama recruit/freshman ever?

[NationalTitles18]

Robinson, Whatley, and Sexton have to be in the conversation. Time will tell.

I said in August that Miller would be the best recruit in the history of Bama basketball. I am not right often but I absolutely nailed this one. Miller is the best freshman to suit up at Bama.

He is as smooth as the front seat of a Lamborghini

I will argue that he's the best player in the 2022 recruiting class. He was initially ranked 14 overall with 247sports, Nick Smith was ranked #1.

I think Buzz Williams was spot on with his assessment of Brandon’s skill set. What other freshmen can match his shooting, passing, rebounding and defense?

I posted in another thread that the kid obviously grew up a Bama due to his dad. Thank the Lord he did.

I posted after the first few games that Miller had the most talent of any player in Bama history. I was told to "tap the brakes," and while I get that my comment was NOT that he was at that moment the most accomplished player in Bama history. He had only played a few games, after all. My comment was an instantaneous reaction to the talent I saw on the floor and how I thought that was going to play out through the course of the season.

EDIT: Might have been a post somewhere else (reddit, perhaps)

I went in and added "freshman" to the thread title just to make sure readers fully understood your point. I think he's definitely made a solid argument of being the best Bama freshman (and even player) to suit up in crimson. If this team is able to bring home a championship and he keeps his numbers consistent, then I definitely would rank him as not only the best Bama freshman ... but best Bama player to date.

B-Mill already set the single season scoring record that was held by none other than Colin Sexton. he's also in the running to set the all-time single season record held by Reggie the "Mule" King. His record is 747 points. Miller is 79 points away from tying it.

Agreed, but Nate has shown a ton of recruiting prowess. Miller is the center piece but there are nine other guys that Coach put in place to make this team successful.

He's as tall as McKey and Leon but has shooting range from half court. He's can guard four positions and sees the court consistently better than anybody on the floor. He is also a ferocious rebounder. I have been watching Alabama hoops since the flourishing of C.M.'s great teams in the early '70s. No one in an Alabama jersey -- ever -- has won games in more ways. Only McKey and perhaps Horry come close.

AND he has the JYD/Black mamba factor like Colin did ... its like he's a mixture off all of our best players ... just crazy to think about!

 

[BamaNation]

Yes

Ya'll don't call me crazy but at 6'9" he's a little lighter version of Magic Johnson Not sure what Magic weighed as a pro but BM will have to add some bulk . Magic as a pro could play all 5 positions and did so. He's a great passer but not at Magics level yet. However, I think he's a better shooter. I give coach props for getting him as he could've gone anywhere.

He has to be the best freshmen since Zion Williamson

Miller is really 6-8, but still taller than 6-7ish Magic

Before Miller, I thought Gerald Wallace and Antonio McDyess was the two most talented players Bama had gotten. Obviously, Kira Lewis and Colin Sexton has to be included.

Ok, I have to say that this Bama team is the greatest ever and BMiller is probably the best we’ve had in our long history.
