Killian's Miller to be coveted on '09 signing day - 02/09/2008 - MiamiHerald.com

''I don't have a favorite school or anything like that,'' said Miller, whose coach Steve Smith said Thursday that Miller has received more than two dozen oral offers from college programs.

``I mean, I'm a Hurricanes fan because I live in Miami. My grandfather drives a bus at UM. But my mom, she grew up in Gainesville, and she wants me to be a Gator.

``I'd like to go to a school that runs the ball, though. I'm an I-formation guy. Miami, Rutgers, UCF, they run the ball. I like schools like that.''

Miller, who debuted at No. 2 (one spot behind Miramar quarterback Eugene Smith) in The Miami Herald's prespring 2009 recruiting rankings for Miami-Dade and Broward counties on Thursday, will be sure to find plenty of schools in the coming months willing to put a scholarship in his hands.

He has welcomed a laundry list of visitors at Killian. According to Smith, during the final two weeks in January (when college coaches are allowed to make visits to high schools), Miller received visits from Miami's Randy Shannon, Florida's Urban Meyer, Southern Cal's Pete Carroll, Alabama's Nick Saban, Florida State's Bobby Bowden and the coaches and staffs from 10 other schools. Those coaches will now have to wait until May -- when Miller plays in his spring game -- to talk to him again. Then it is another noncontact period until the season begins in September.
