That is so bush league, sticking your own name into the story as if you're part of the news value. To the best of my recollection, it's never been done here - one of the things that's so nice about this site. It's free, and the Mustangs are more important than the site.

I guess the fact he has come to every home game for the last eight years means he is a real fan. Who else would have done that?

I have.
Missed one home game since 1992.

Then you are a real fan like he is.

I'm a friend of his brothers and heard that Kansas is pursuing him pretty heavily. There were a few other schools he mentioned, but I forget them. I have met him a handful of times though and he's a big dude

Hey 43, would you say that 6'5", 285 is accurate or somewhat inflated?

He was injured halfway through the season last fall, a broken patella if I recall, and didn't suit up for their playoff run. Great feet, good athleticism, very natural athlete and it would make the most amount of sense to see him here or Tech. Not a dominating run blocker, but thats a lack of experience, not manhood, with a kid still growing into his frame. Not the caliber of Kyle Hix from Aledo who got some game action and started UT's bowl game as a true freshman last fall, but not many are. Miller has the potential to be good, and very early, for June Jones' offense.

It would seem like an automatic snag for SMU, but Aledo has sent one or two kids a year to some competitive schools, and two kids at UT recently, so he'll look at all of his opportunities. Cole Loftin arriving on campus in two months is probably the best recruiting tool we'll have, regardless of how many games he's attended and his brother's enrollment status.

He is definitely 6'5 and I'd say 285 might be a little high but he is definitely a huge guy and has the frame to add more. I have also heard that his rehab is going along very well.

Awesome. McKnight will tap his potential.
