The game of basketball has easily become the most popular sport in America, as evidenced by the revenue, professional salaries, and mass number of kids suiting up each year. Despite football gaining a reputation as the most dangerous sport, basketball actually has the most injuries on a yearly basis (proven by a study in 2020). The amount of running, jumping, and general contact (with lack of padding or protection) naturally leads to awkward landings or freak accidents. These lengthy injury-to-recovery processes are often overlooked, but something that countless kids, like Amare Miller, are forced to undergo. Just following his sophomore season, Miller suffered an ACL tear. However, after working extremely hard and returning to his pre-injury status, he has been rewarded with an offer from Presbyterian.'

Folks may previously remember Miller as a young prospect with Piedmont Classical and Team CP3, who always found opportunities as a glue-guy within the flow of the action. Since then, he reclaimed his role with Team CP3 and opted to transfer to The Burlington School for his final high school season. While plenty of conversation centers around the high-profile guys like Jaden Bradley or Jalen Hood-Schifino, Miller has more than proven his value on a game-to-game basis. He embraces his role and excels at doing the little things. Miller is a strong, sturdy inside-out forward with the ability to finish, rebound, and space the floor at a reliable rate. He utilizes his length and body well around the basket to alter shots, but also defends effectively along the perimeter. 

The production and overall body of work speak for themselves, but not enough people are appreciating everything Miller had to go through to get to this point. Not only did he face adversity and handle it maturely, but he's arguably returned even better than before. It's no surprise that Presbyterian decided to get involved with a steady, low-maintenance prospect like Miller, so don't be shocked to see his offer sheet continue to expand over the coming months.
