The state of North Carolina is blessed with an overabundance of talent. In the North Carolina 2018 class, 60 plus players signed with D1 schools and another 40 plus signed to play at the D2, D3, NAIA or Juco level. Quite impressive numbers! This year, the 2019 class is on the same course to have 100 plus players continue to play at the collegiate level. In this edition we’re going to take a look at 6’0 Combo Guard Thomas Miles of Freedom Christian Academy in Fayetteville, NC. Thomas Miles is someone I feel is a next level prospect, and he deserves some recognition in this edition of our Unsigned Senior Series.
Thomas Miles transferred over to Freedom Christian after his Junior Season at Kerr-Vance academy and has played an integral role in them getting the 3 seed in the NCISAA 2A Classification. He’s a player that is willing to fit in by whatever means necessary with his only hope furthering his teams success. He can play both backcourt spots with the ability to initiate offense or get scorching hot from the perimeter playing off the ball. Miles, Brandon Murray, and Manny Alverado coexist in that Freedom backcourt in an excellent way. They’ve all bought in to what coach Anquell McCollum is saying and it should lead to their success in the playoffs, and at the next level respectively.
Here’s what Phenom Hoop Report Director of Player Analysis Jeff Bendel said about Thomas ‘Next, we look at a player that brought an excellent attitude and quality motor during his time at camp, Thomas Miles. He's a guard prospect that can handle the ball and score on all levels while constantly looking to create for others. Miles attacks the rim fairly often and showed an understanding of how to operate without the ball. He rebounds pretty well for his size/position and looks to push transition play on every defensive board”
Miles should be on the radar of D3 schools in need of a versatile guard in their 2019 class. He’s definitely worth a look and on top of his basketball accomplishments he has a 3.0 GPA.
