ESPN Boston has more on Pete Miller's commitment to the Tigers.
John Carroll, the head coach of prep powerhouse and reigning NEPSAC champion Northfield Mount Hermon, has seen a lot of Ivy League recruits suit up for his Hoggers. The school has sent 16 different players to Ivy programs in the last five years alone.
Carroll thinks there’s a chance that Pete Miller could be the best of them all.
Yesterday morning the versatile, skilled 6'10" senior-to-be added his name to this impressive list of Northfield alums when he called Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson and informed him that he wanted to become a Tiger next season.
Last night I spoke with Carroll as well as Miller's AAU coach Michael Crotty, Jr. of Middlesex Magic. Their exclusive quotes and analysis plus links to player evaluations, photos and videos of Miller can all be found after the jump.
